Highly misleading. Samsung Next, a Samsung VC firm closed Israel offices but will keep investing in Israel.
This appears to be original source from a month ago: www.calcalistech.com/ctechnews/article/by1p82me0
Today, I am sharing the news that Samsung Next has made necessary organizational changes in the Tel Aviv office to consolidate its activities. Israel remains an attractive market for Samsung Next, and the existing relationships with partners and portfolio companies will remain unchanged.

- Comment on YouTube's war against third party apps is just as ridiculous as its war on adblockers 1 week ago:
We’ll never know since we don’t have numbers that Google does. Sadly, that also makes Google the best candidate to determine what’s the best strategy for them :p
- Comment on YouTube's war against third party apps is just as ridiculous as its war on adblockers 1 week ago:
Google being an ass about alternative YouTube clients is somewhat dumb but they likely prefer to control user experience. They’re a for profit entity so it shouldn’t be that surprising. Google kicking users that cost them money is not dumb.

- Comment on ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say 2 weeks ago:
I’m fairly sure that long term TikTok plans to do long form videos too and their current approach has a benefit of getting their foot in the door. No other competitor of YouTube managed to do that before.
The neat thing about TikTok algo is that that they introduce different things and fine tune it to your liking without making things stale. This means those that are there for short form videos will keep on seeing them and their flow won’t be interrupted. Those that are interested in longer ones will be presented with them. It’s already happening but UI really needs refinement as it’s kinda jarring now. It’s still much better than how YouTube is trying to force shorts on their current users though.
- Comment on ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say 2 weeks ago:
TikTok creators I follow get miserable amounts of views on YouTube. Shorts algorithm is nowhere near as good as TT and it’s missing loads of features that make TT unique. If those creators were forced to move they’d probably go with Instagram but that’s a poor replacement too.
As a European I’m curious how TT will look like without Yanks. It’s already much more usable after it was banned in India so there’s that.

Oh no, not the Facebook! I can’t even imagine the world without all the good that it does!
- Comment on EU tells Meta it can't paywall privacy 3 weeks ago:
Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat, worrying that I don’t see as many ads as the Yanks do.
- Comment on EU tells Meta it can't paywall privacy 3 weeks ago:
Media are paywalling content but Facebook doesn’t really produce anything other than their platform.

- Comment on Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy? 3 weeks ago:
If you’re after moderate right flavored discussion I sympathize but you’ll have trouble finding it as the broader right has been consumed by alt right and far right. If your point is that those viewpoints specifically are missing from Lemmy then I’d say it’s a good riddance. I just wish Lemmy was as hard on some immature leftie takes.

- Comment on How to revitalize this sub? 3 weeks ago:
Lemmy 0.19 changed how monthly active users are counted (including upvotes) and lemmy.world upgraded to that version 3 months ago. I’d be more interested in post and comment counts.
- Comment on How to revitalize this sub? 3 weeks ago:
I could be very much wrong since it depends on what communities one subscribes to but I’m getting a feeling that activity on Lemmy is decreasing in general.
- Comment on YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps 3 weeks ago:
At their scale and cost optimization it’s likely one of the few remaining holes to plug. I wouldn’t underestimate how many people try to block YouTube ads which adds up quickly. Whatever the benefit is from allowing people to keep draining their resources, it probably doesn’t outweigh benefits in the 0% interest rate environment. Their monopoly is also nowhere near threatened and their biggest competitor could be banned in the US.
