The cost of running YouTube is constantly growing. New features cost extra to develop and maintain. Monetizing existing features lessens the burden and allows the platform to keep providing their core service for free.

So because they started off offering something for free they owe us?

Do NOT do it. I dont think the time saved is worth it. It hasnt changed irl stuff for me but any media feels painfully slow. I had to listen to a 1hr video conference with a group on 1x speed and I felt like I was being tortured. I had to refocused myself every sentence because i couldn’t hold attention on sentences that were being said so slowly.
If you want to consume info fast then reading is way better.

How is that any different from shifting existing features to premium? If you aren’t paying you’re lucky to get anything.
I dont pay and I ad block everything. I’m surprised I can use the site at all. These features are nice to haves and not core to using YouTube.

How would you suggest they get people to pay?

Have you seen people who complain about written jnfo his video info? Its because they can read thr info faster than listening to it be said. But if you speed it up to 2x or 3x then it becomes the same as reading in terms of time. You get used to it over time. I can’t listen to anything at 1x speed anymore.

- Comment on Australia begins enforcing world-first teen social media ban 6 days ago:
It seems to be popular with people i talk to in real life. It also seems go be very popular with leftwing people outside niche internet spaces like this. Most people are viewing this as a good way to prevent misinformation brainwashing and not paying attention to the removal of internet freedom. From talking to these people its because they dont think there is internet freedom as internet is only 5 sites which all spy on you already.

No. Its ecc ram and most PC motherboards aren’t compatible with it. If it crashes we might have cheap GPUs and cheap cloud gaming.

I love l4d2 and when i saw b4b on sale for $5 I was so excited. Surely I can get $5 of value of out this game. Nope after playing the first level everything was off with the game and I refunded it.
I instantly disliked the shooting and quickly grew to hate all the colourful effects they added. None of the effects fit the style of the game.

You can’t be out of the game this long and think you’re going to make another left 4 dead. We saw that with back 4 blood and we will see it with this one.
- Comment on Bread mold 1 week ago:
just remember, when it feels like someone is twisting you inside out as you slowly lose consciousness, you chose this because you wanted that bread more than you wanted to live.
I once left pasta out on the bench all day and night then the next day I ate it and moved the rest to the fridge. I then spend a 16 hours in the feral position in so much pain I thought i was gonna die. Then the next day I was really hungry and the pasta tasted pretty good so I ate it again and spent another day curled up in immense pain. My stupidity knows no bouds.

Hiv can fuck you up or require you to take drugs the rest of your life. Mold tastes a bit like dirty and might make you feel sick. The stakes are lower I think.

Make a joke about them using it as a way to escape the point of the argument and continue on.
- Comment on Bread mold 1 week ago:
I’m not a scientist. Is there any reason not to just eat it if its only a little bit of mould? I see so many people freak out. Bro just eat it you won’t even taste the mould over the peanut butter. Or if you’re really worried you can toast it which kills all the mould probably.

I really dont wanna do that. Firefox should add 3rd party repos so my distro packagers can handle that.

So what’s the lesson? How can we trust browser extensions? Ublock could go bad and cook half the globe.

- Comment on Valve Addresses Steam Machine Anti-Cheat Concerns, Says It's Working Towards Support 2 weeks ago:
Uh no I’m a linux user and i know the anti cheats that do support linux do basically nothing since any root process can hook in. If majority of gamers were on linux multiplayer games would be unplayable.
Anti cheat is always a Cat and mouse solution not just on the client side and that doesnt mean its bad and cat and mouse solutions do still reduce cheaters.
Good server side anti cheat is a perfect ideal solution, its never existed and I don’t think it will exist.

What are you comparing it to? Americans have a much easier path to permanent residency than a vast majority of the world.
- Comment on Insulin 2 weeks ago:
Its not that hard especially for an American.
- Comment on Valve Addresses Steam Machine Anti-Cheat Concerns, Says It's Working Towards Support 2 weeks ago:
I’m aware but games and players still want a strong anti cheating solution. There is no protection currently on linux for cheating.

Yes but if linux gets popular those games will get linux cheaters and will be pressured to do something.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
This paper was published a few years ago. I remember reading through it because it sounded very scary. In its current state I dont think it crosses any ethical bounds as its less than 30days old with no lived experience or consciousness. The ethical line should probably follow whatever the abortion debate defines consciousness as. Which I think is 30 weeks
It did spark a few ethics papers on the topic which turned out to be a horrible dry boring reads with seemingly no consensus.
