I don’t think I would. If it were a zero-sum game where I either have good reddit and no money, or modern reddit and a billion dollars, I’d probably take the money. But its not like spez was a broke man barely surviving paycheck to paycheck before he ruined it. I just don’t understand the greed rich people have to constantly take more for themselves when they’re already doing great.

Sounds like people like talking about AI, time to push for even more of it!

Nah, Vocaloids like Hatsune Miku aren’t AI. Vocaloid music uses voice synthesizers, with each character being a unique voicebank with a mascot. But the final result of a Vocaloid song is completely man-made. They’re closer to instruments than they are to AI.

Any time I hear people say county music is bad, I’m reminded about Bo Burnham’s pandering bit. There is good country music out there, you unfortunately just gotta wade through the slop to find it.

That baffles you? I’d be willing to bet that 99% of windows users don’t even know what explorer.exe is.

TIL it’s okay for kids to die if they’re privileged.

It kinda is a necessary evil, if you want free content at least. Especially for a website like youtube where you need to host millions of large videos 24/7. That shit ain’t cheap, and even google can’t make money out of thin air. Not that I’m defending youtube or anything, charging $8 a month for premium lite but still giving you ads is insane. Paid services should never have ads.

My problem isn’t with ads, but rather the type of ads used. Like I said a moment ago, I don’t think paid services should ever have ads of any kind. But for free websites, a few side banner ads are fine in my book, while ads in the middle of a page or popup ads or video ads (especially unskippable ones) are a no-go. Essentially anything that doesn’t interrupt what I’m doing is usually something I’m okay with.

So they’re like… low-altitude helicopters?

Tentacles, yeah that’s probably a more niche kink. But cat boys/girls? I don’t know a single person who wouldn’t consider that an upgrade.

Three out of four of the paragraphs in the article’s solution were spent convincing people of the benefits to buying premium. Still feels like an ad despite the tiny mention of uBlock Origin at the very bottom.

I do agree that Youtube, premium isn’t bad value. But I refuse to support google or youtube directly with my money. If I ever want to support a creator, I can throw them a couple dollars on patreon and help them far more than buying premium ever would have.
