Funnily enough that’s exactly what many full time microbloggers have been asking from Xitter for years. I always thought it was a silly idea and if you want to make money from your tweets print and sell them as a book like any other self-important celebrity or become a ghost writer for other people’s Xitty microblogs. If you’re that good, people will pay, surely.

And just like that Youtube becomes slightly less bearable again.

Are you telling me Apple hasn’t seen through the grift and is approaching this with an open mind just to learn how full off bullshit most of the claims from the likes of Altman are? And now they’re sharing their gruesome discoveries with everyone while they’re unveiling them?

Well that’s to be expected when you set extremely unambitious requirements in the first place. In practice it’ll still be a disaster one way or another because they just don’t think things through. The idea of “personal public transit” suggest they want to compete with buses but don’t meet any of the criteria of a public bus.

The rules apply to everyone and they’re not new rules by any means. Just do it in the proper category and you’re good. The rules may be silly but they’re not targeting Vtubers in particular. It’s not that complicated, really.

Vtubers can do that as well if they’re doing it in the right category. It just so happens that they almost never did in the past and kept breaking TOS. The rules are not new at all by the way, just worded more clearly because some users keep throwing fits. Twitch is a train wreck for all sorts of shortcomings and bullshittery, but this isn’t really news.

Sites like these MADE the anime industry outside Japan because Japanese corporations absolutely suck at advertising and distributing their products till this very day. Almost no one would care about anime if it was up to anime industry executives and they should be glad to make some merch sales from people watching fansubs. And yeah yeah it’s a little more complicated but the main issue is how stupidly IP is handled in Japan, especially in regards to anime.

The worst part about gas are all the leaks on site. Once it’s in the air, you can’t get it out. Often they don’t even burn the gas and just let it leak straight into the atmosphere. And we didn’t even get to liquifying the product or address the environmental cost of fracking for example. Meanwhile when coal falls off an excavator you just pick it up again.

If you care about the environment, go renewable. Gas isn’t magic and sugar coating won’t clean coal.

I legitimately do not have enough space on my phone to install all the crappy bloatware of all the stores I go to. They quite literally ask the impossible of me.

So they introduced shorts just to… lengthen them? The people behind Youtube are so incredibly lost it’s almost unbelievable.

I guess my point is that it isn’t worth an article in mid 2024 because it really only repeats what has been said a million times a about the subject. Even before it was bought. No one else would’ve paid much more than $9 Billion at any point because it is legitimately insane.

If I remember correctly the evaluation of Xitter has been around $9 Billion for years so they’re basically saying it tanked only a little if you adjust for inflation.

Post-pandemic idiocity (historically, far right politics become very popular after a pandemic, or so I’ve read) coupled with all the other issues. The filthy rich playing off the masses against each other being a big one. And of course it’s Austria we’re talking about. They’re resilient to learning from past mistakes even when it was just a couple years ago. It’s actually baffling how easily they swing from one side to another, but that’s probably partly because it’s a tiny nation.

Why can’t I shake off the feeling this is some kind of Edison-Tesla situation to give 3D printing a bad rep?

Least unhinged Cybertruck owner. Though I use the term ‘owner’ very loosely here.

Some of them are even in this thread which is nothing new, but shocking to me every time:

You don’t lose anything for the moment, but it might come back to bite you later regardless. Because Youtube needs to grow until the end of times but can’t, it will end ugly one way or another. It’s more of a symptom of a bigger problem than an isolated, ‘smart’ business decision.

Youtube doing what I told every Premium adversary they would logically do after dumping more and more ad space onto the site. And to make Premium look worth the price, they’ll continue to shove more ads in your face just before, you guessed it, doing another price hike. Rinse and repeat. Premium users are strong drivers of this enshittification so I will continue to call them out on it whenever they tell you to join the scam as well. I’ll stick to my ad blockers.
