Ah, I see, your one of His. Once more, just lying
If you can’t possibly imagine that people have their own opinions, you have serious problems. I can’t stand people like you that categorizes people into small boxes, effectively strawmanning them, as a mean to discredit your opponents. Classical manipulation technique. No, you don’t know me better than myself, thanks.
The project does clearly explain the goals and intentions if you have the ability to Read
That is just false. The blue image shared on Ross’ videos should be on the website to better explain what they want.
or at least listen to Ross’s multiple videos explaining them
In that case yes, but then my point was that it wasn’t clear, and having to search the channel of the creator of the initiative is something no one would do if they wrongly interpreted this from the start, as it was for my case. It was only after more coverage that I thought more about it.

The project doesn’t clearly explain what its intentions are. The first time I saw the stop killing games initiative, I thought the exact same as him. Obviously it goes much further and it doesn’t propose any law so europe and each country would be free to set their own limits, but from an external eye it flawed when these questions are not directly answered

Toxic behavior. Silence people for their opinions

Made a post to raise awareness
Avoid the lemmy.ml community because it’s moderated by that fucker

It doesn’t look good indeed…
Sadly, that’s what we have to work with. The app is pretty good though

SimpleX as well!

Why would it display the priced paid by the company like this, when it doesn’t for other countries like France though? Seems weird

It’s not nearly as hard to host your own server (or pay for it to be hosted).
Do you really expect more than even 5% of all youtube channels to do it? You have high hopes.
compensates for by sharing the distribution effort between viewers
I believe it’s done in a kinda P2P way? Didn’t really check, but wouldn’t that just not work with NAT internet connections, which many people have because that’s just more secure this way? Also, bad for privacy.
Using a TURN server would also add huge costs so it’s basically like hosting your own server

I meant good health, no (mental) illness, no medical treatment, already have somewhere to live…
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 1 week ago:
Then it’s not an alternative
If it pays “a good bit more per view” than YouTube when basically no one on YT pays and many users have adblockers, someone is getting ripped off here
- Comment on Matrix.org is Introducing Premium Accounts 1 week ago:
Then at this point I start to wonder: why can’t they take people in countries where the cost of living is cheaper? When you’re funded by donations, this seems more logical
- Comment on Matrix.org is Introducing Premium Accounts 1 week ago:
So 170k$ isn’t that much
If that’s the amount the company pays, then yea. If this is the amount the employee receives, then that’s a lot. Like really.
- Comment on Matrix.org is Introducing Premium Accounts 1 week ago:
what the employee pays
seems like there’s a problem here?
- Comment on Matrix.org is Introducing Premium Accounts 1 week ago:
Indeed, but it’s understandably a super high amount compared to what we get. If you’re in good shape, you get way more money. If not, you probably get less.
- Comment on Matrix.org is Introducing Premium Accounts 1 week ago:
Pretty much the same in France. Companies pay 150% to 200% of the amount that the employee receives, when the employee has a relatively high pay, and the employee then pays a significant amount of its pay in diverse things, then the income tax hits. France is pretty much one of the countries that taxes the most in the world so…

People have been saying this for years now.
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 1 week ago:
Who pays for the servers? Because if even big platforms like Signal sometimes struggle to pay the bills, in part because they spend a lot on their servers, then it’ll be dozens of times worse with video hosting
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 1 week ago:
Unless we have some serious alternatives, that won’t happen anytime soon
Video hosting is really expensive. Every service running for free will eventually enshitify and turn out similar, because there’s no such thing as free massive servers
- Comment on Matrix.org is Introducing Premium Accounts 1 week ago:
Funnily enough, it shows the localised amount.
For me in France it shows 50k€ to 69k€, so $58k to $80k at current exchange rates
It just confirms that this is USA only haha
- Comment on Matrix.org is Introducing Premium Accounts 1 week ago:
if it’s a matter of years and not centuries then in fairly alright. In many countries nowadays, new borns will never have ownership of a house or flat.
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 1 week ago:
If you reach the frequent limitations like X codec is premium only, then yes. Else, no, you’re free to go
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 1 week ago:
If it forces you to pay and have an account, how is it better than YT?
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 1 week ago:
Stop using it completely then, and we’ll see if that’s the case
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 1 week ago:
I mean if they get forced ads I would understand, but at the current state I would say there are too many.
If YouTube premium was less expensive it would be a great in-between
I personally use YT premium and music by faking my country. Getting it for like 3.50€/month feels like a great deal

They probably overused yt-dlp and are now required to fill a captcha + log in to an account.
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 1 week ago:
Seems like a great ad
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 1 week ago:
I would prefer an ad 🤷 if it doesn’t last a stupid amount of time

I guess you live in the USA? No one makes this amount of money
