Thats super impressive. I need to take a look at hosting a personal instance just for the fun of it if its really what it costs.

Yeah. I’ve seen way more people correcting someone for using the wrong word when it is obvious what they meant instead of responding to what they’ve said and I think that is a big indicator of the kind of people that are joining.

I haven’t been here for that long (start of december) but I feel like I have felt the obvious shift as more reddit people have joined the site.

Why specifically creatives? There are so many other professions that are more important to someones everyday life and no one seems to hold the same vitriol at them valuing their time that people do for creatives. I don’t see people suggesting that nurses get a day job and do nursing on the side.

Do you think the same thing about people who work for basically any company? Because they are way more directly responsible for the actions of their corporation than the average person that makes 50k a year between AdSense and sponsors.

Yeah there are a lot of factors at play. I have YT premium because my parents still pay for a family plan even though I am out of the house so I don’t think I’ll be getting off YT for a while at least.

Nebula also doesn’t have a comment section which is invaluable when someone makes a mistake or you disagree with someone on a point.

What do you think keeps something deep being in the form of audio? I get that videos aren’t great for research but audio can just be written word spoken so that people that can’t read or don’t enjoy reading can experience it. I read more than pretty much anyone that I know in my age range and I don’t see myself as superior because of it and doing some comes across as frankly pomous and self important.

I turned basically all of the optional filters on a few days ago at the advice of another lemming and I did not even realise until now that the internet had gotten noticeably less annoying.

They can not keep themselves out of drama for more than 6 months at a time. The whole situation with M left a bad taste in my mouth even though they were found legally clean. All of the other dramas that have occurred that might not be such a big deal on their own, but when they are all coming from one company it starts to paint a picture.

The big problem with PeerTube(PT) is that there is no advertising. As it stands now people are burning money in order to run a PT instance and YouTube(YT) was not at all profitable for many years so it is unlikely that PT ever will be unless people start being willing to pay for people to upload their content to PT. There are ways that you could make PT profitable but it would end up making it into something more similar to Patreon or Nebula.

LTT is very sure that following the FBIs recommendation for always using an adblocker is piracy for one example.

I will never understand people who identify as leftist that refuse to understand that under our current economic model people require money to survive and if they do not get money for doing their creative work they might not be able to continue making that work.

It is not selfish to want to be payed for working on something like a video that in some cases takes hundreds of man hours of work to complete. There is a reason that the quality of content available on youtube has gone up massively. Say what you want about the writing but there is no way that something like helluva boss could ever have been made entirely online before youtube.

I can’t speak definitively but it will probably hurt Australia to some extent. At least if they don’t want to get dragged into one of our really stupid wars that we undoubtedly have coming.

Responded to the wrong person my bad.

Im going to need some serious evidence that the sitting US president is not a natural born citizen and therefore is not actually the president.

Yeah I was really lost as to how a VP candidate and his team using an encrypted messaging app was a problem when they shouldn’t have access to any information that requires clearance.

Then I remembered that his first name was Tim and the aha moment hit.

I don’t think I’ve played a new triple A game in over 5 years. If the steam deck can play modded Minecraft it will have more hours than the switch oled I got right after they released.
