You think not having total control of an organization means he’s free of blame
I don’t, that’s something you made up about me in your head. I think that YouTube’s business execs would always lead it to where we are now.
He warped what many young people belief they can become today and that belief is what ushered in a world of influencers chasing the all mighty dollar
He made gameplay videos. I think that’s the most benign form of “influencing” there can be. I think there are much more damaging channels that had way more sway in shaping this new generation.
Again, I’m not saying he’s a saint but I do think he’s ultimately insignificant when looking at the causes of and reasoning behind youtube’s enshittification. And I don’t think he would ever go a different direction, just doesn’t seem like the type.

I also had a lot of tolerance before, but it backfired.
Yeah it’s like that for me too sometimes, on the internet at least

10 million per day still seems like a lot, though we don’t know how much the sitting around and talking part actually uses since the article mentions this:
The regular budget funds UN programmes across key areas, including political affairs, international justice and law, regional cooperation for development, human rights and humanitarian affairs, and public information.

Not always, it’s the memes combining watermelons with “based” lingo, and for the most part people using them are fine, just not aware that it got started by nazis and is sometimes used as a dogwhistle

True, it’s a bit hard to tell sometimes though, in other contexts that is

For a “place to gather and talk” they sure do use a lot of money and resources. Maybe they should switch to remote work lol
- Comment on the no state solution 3 days ago:
Just don’t combine that with watermelons lol or I’ll assume you’re cool with nazis (or simply unaware). Peep the other comment, I explained it briefly
- Comment on the no state solution 3 days ago:
they* but no, I’m ukrainian, it took off as a meme a while ago but not everyone is aware it started in nazi groupchats and sometimes gets used as a dogwhistle, so I’m wary
- Comment on the no state solution 3 days ago:
Nope, just tired of seeing it get associated with the word “based”, bc I know who came up with that association. I think you can sorta deduce my country from that lol

What’s up with the watermelon? Asking bc it’s a nazi-adjacent thing where I’m from

New business model idea: 50% off any game but you have to let AI play 50% of it. Don’t let microsoft see this comment lmao

Oh yeah, I had the same experience with Arkham Knight (i think). Control on the other hand doesn’t have a secret ending and I wanted to get every collectible there is, because it’s more lore that I love. I think if it had a secret ending I’d get it by accident lol
- Comment on Microsoft patents system for AI helpers to finish games for you 1 week ago:
Games that are grindy for no reason could use it though, now that I think about it. Although it could result in a spiral where the devs make it even harder to farm resources or make like ai honeypots or traps they can’t solve. You could be out there mining ores and now you gotta solve a captcha lmao
