It would better to make peer tube super easy to use without needing to do more than cluck once on. A button and get going
The thing holding open source back is the gatekeeping. Developers could spend more time actually working with u.i experts to make things easy, but no. Rather make everyone think it’s some magic that requires 50 steps.
Make it easy to do business and give them a great product. That’s all that needs to be done. Do that foss community, and you’ll win.

This is the lure of a. I. And it’s insidious.

No. That’s generalizing
It depends on the person learning. You may get more out of a video and I may get more from a book

I don’t give a damn if I miss out on the coolest thing ever. Spying on us is wrong. That’s how we got Donny. By letting the elite do what they want.

So this article is suspect. It says that we’re not being recorded so some distance advertiser can run ads, yet Alphonso was caught doing just that.
Do better “journalists”

Honestly a. I. search is going to be worse in many ways. We can no longer be sure that anything online is real. That means everything is suspect.
And if everything is suspect, nothing can be taken at face value.
But since that requires research to verify, most people will accept the false results. It will lead to a dumbing down of people and the loss of critical thinking skills as the attention span is shorter and shorter.
As for SEO. It won’t really die. It will be niche, a nice to have but it won’t be the needle mover it used to be. As A. I. is integrated behind the scenes in ways which we can’t see , the data will be presented according to the desires and goals of the controller of the search engine.
True agnostic search has been dead for awhile, this just dropped the casket into the water

I did. A. I. optimization us going to be, indeed is, a thing that will displace SEO.
After 20+ years in SEO, I say with confidence that we ARE seeing the evolution of SEO to AIO.

yeah, I think I remember the 80s pretty well. Ran Wildcat boards before prodigy was a thing. Its nowhere near as tedious or limited as it was then.
- Comment on Don't make it "like Google" 4 days ago:
you know, I honestly have never struggled even for a second with it. there’s lots of reasons not to use it, and I’m migrating away, but this is a very strange and quite frankly, super subjective, take. Two clicks to get to whatever I’m doing isn’t that much.

As an old guy, this is the dumbest line. Google drive is easy as hell to use. Easier than the PCs I used in the 80’s, that’s for sure

For me it’s because I needed a new PC to do some gigs work. A friend has a couple he couldn’t get working. I put Linux on them and now I use them. Spent 0 dollars and don’t have to give Microsoft or Apple a dime
