Doesn’t make them less clever.

I feel it’s worse than this. Imagine being the brightest mind in college, have a ton of experience, just to invent new algorithms to get people to click on more ads.

I use YouTube the most of all streaming services. Yet I don’t understand why there isn’t an affordable easy to use option, that includes no ads and a high CPM for creators.

My understanding is YouTube premium, doesn’t highten the payout to creators, but rather just substitutes the dirt poor ad revenue per impression.

I’ve been using NextDNS for a while now. It’s great compared to VPN implementations like Blokada because it frees up your phone to use an actual VPN.

I’ve found PDNSQS for when I need to temporarily disable ad blocking, a really nice addition.

Free as in freedom. Not free beer.

You gotta admit, it’s fun to meme the opposite camp. Whether you are a GUI or CLI person.

What is it with Lemmy and far-[left | right] politics…

Things break in weird ways on Linux due to dependencies. Snap/Flatpak/AppImage has yet to show if it’s enough to fix the issue.

They gathered as much data they could on dislikes before it was removed, so it also shows actual numbers on older videos.

Curious, what’s wrong with Spotify?

Where I’m from, it’s legal to download cracked games so long as you’ve bought it legitimately. Paying for games isn’t a problem, it’s treating everyone as suspects that bugs me.
