It’s not even a majority of people.

It is false that 90% of the people you’ve met like Hitler.

“Ed is the standard text editor.”

That’s nice. Just exposing your dishonesty. Move along.

I’ll say this.

When I weigh the choice of handing over my personal videos to a company that is explicitly and actively going to use them to:

• train and improve their massive corporate AI tools
• develop their targeted ad platform (which is their real product)
• build a comprehensive profile about me and my family

Or

Putting a NAS at a friends house, or paying a couple bucks a month for some block storage.

I end up preferring the second set of options. It’s fine if you don’t, but don’t pretend you have no idea that your personal videos and information are valuable to Google.

Because, frankly, I don’t think you’re being honest.

Do you really not know how Google’s business model works, or are you playing dumb?

Is money is the only thing about yourself that you ascribe value to?

Nope. The admin of sh.itjust.works lets you use their storage for free. Google does not.

There are things that are free, Youtube is not one of them.

What other platform can I use as cloud storage for video files for free?

None. YouTube included.

And honestly even if it did serve it’s actual purpose, the cumulative power consumption would still be a point of debate.

Yeah, but at that point you’d have to consider it against how much power the traditional banking system uses.

Plus the acronym rules are inconsistent. It should be FURRE or FURRORIE

So is the internet.

So can the AI

Saving millions?? Goodness! That could be upwards of a dollar per person!

This just in folks, boycotting Amazon for a week is “no good”. Don’t do it!

That’s it! Let perfect be the enemy of good!

Don’t hurt your back patting it so hard!

Good job

Some people can’t even handle a 1-day boycott. I think you’re overestimating the average person’s tolerance for discomfort.
