  • The two biggest issues are actually not software related

    I disagree, the biggest issues are related to discoverability, and most certainly software-related.

    Peertube has the issue that its not very popular, so creators have to really plug their stuff.

    Not necessarily. They only need to agree to allow an instance to mirror their content, and possibly one day contribute something to it in the event that it becomes popular enough. For now, consent is really all that’s required. The only revenue they’re missing out on is AdSense.

    Its not profitable for creators UNLESS they add a way to monetize. Some argue that with secondary sources such as patreon, its not an issue, But I just don’t see it.

    Patreon is one of many different ways to generate revenue. Most popular Youtubers are diversifying in various ways. The most effective of which is creating their own products and using their channels to promote them. Affiliate links/codes is another way smaller creators can diversify.

    I like the ability to post my videos and get comments without getting flagged for whatever on Youtube.

    As always, with freedom comes abuse. Youtube has a lot of regulations that can be cumbersome but also can protect creators and users.










  • I’m very interested on how powerful this thing is if it’s price is going to be higher than the LCD Steam Deck

    From a purely hardware standpoint, the Steam Deck LCD panel is awful, 800p/60Hz with no VRR. Switch 2 is 1080p/120Hz w/ VRR. We don’t know much about the Switch processor but surely it is at least comparable to the original SD one with those sort of screen specs.

    Steam Deck has to be sold at cost at the lowest, mostly because it’s just a PC and can be (and has been) used for a myriad of things that don’t involve Steam. Nintendo could sell these things at a huge loss and still make money hand over fist because they can’t do anything but play Switch games.

    Then what are?

    “Ownership” can mean a lot of different things

    Why wouldn’t the ability to maintain/repair, modify or resell be requirements for ownership?

    Why would they be?

    If “ownership” doesn’t have a unified meaning, then I can interpret “ownership” as the ability to maintain/repair, modify or resell the bought item.

    You can “interpret” whatever meaning you want, that doesn’t make it accurate.
