The memes are annoying because most of the complaints are superficial.
"Look, "b" + "a" + +"a" + "a" outputs "baNaNa"! JavaScript bad!" Yeah, that's what happens. Just don't do that thing that obviously doesn't look right. Don't use var, just like every modern JavaScript learning resource will tell you. Don't use == if you don't intend for type coercing to happen.
If you don't write bad code on purpose, JavaScript is fine.
You people are arguing that YouTube should be hosting videos without asking for any compensation. You will continue blocking ads no matter how many of them there are.
I hope YouTube just completely paywalls itself so this whining can end already.
Agreed. I'm on a family plan and I find that I'm getting my money's worth, plus saving myself the headache of participating in this cat-and-mouse game.
I'm willing to bet the people who use adblockers and say "fuck Google" in this thread never considered donating to the developers of said adblockers for letting them dodge YouTube's fee.
The difficulty isn't in developing a platform, but in actually hosting the videos.
Videos are huge files, and Peertube instances will have to make do with pennies in donations while paying for massive amounts of storage if they actually gain a userbase.
I think the main issue is the people here suggesting and evangelising Firefox not really listening to those who aren’t
That's exactly it. A few months ago I saw a conversation on Lemmy where someone was listing the features they were missing in Firefox, and someone literally replied "There is no way you need any of this shit".
