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.

Responded to the wrong person my bad.

Skyrim has just invaded gaming culture more than those other two. You can like them more and point out that they had the features that made skyrim what it is but when modern RPGs are borrowing features those are not the games that they will be looking to emulate.

If there are only fElon fan boys going I’ll take the hit and go to open the airlock halfway through.

Lemmy is super pro FOSS.

Both of the people are so shitty in this. on one hand Karl absolutely defamed Billy on the other hand Billy has so many times used the legal system to bend people to his will that I still hate how much he won.

I feel like an idiot for believing that it was just over the cheating allegations.

I’m genuinely upset that I spread his content to support him.

ooo thats a good point. A lot of those IP protection companies seem very trigger happy.

Light pollution makes me so sad. You have to get so far away from cities to not have the all encompassing glow of the cities to not affect your view of the sky.

Ad companies are often payed on “impressions” which bots that click on a link can count as. Or they are payed upfront for a ad campaign in both of those cases the incentive is to make it seem like as many people are clicking the link as possible.

By the time I decided I was willing to read the stormlight archive he already completed the first set. I have heard basically no spoilers so it Im very excited to read it after I finish my terrible popcorn book.

I may not be a lawyer but I’m pretty sure that’s not how things work.

I’m glad that I am not just imagining things and other people have noticed the difference.

I refuse to read the series until he either dies or it is completed. He is the reason that I never read books that are not part of a finished series (with the exception of Brandon Sanderson because he has a track record that shows that he will complete them)
