YouTube cracking on ad blockers.

Jump

  • You realize that serving the video is incredibly expensive right? There’s a reason Lemmy doesn’t support video hosting

    They also pay for hosting the thousands of videos from "little guys" that no one will watch

  • I think the price is very fair if you split the family plan with others

    Also I think creators get a 55% cut for ad revenue which seems reasonable to me

  • How tf did it score worse than the 7 Pro

  • Definitely thought this was c/unpopularopinions for a sec

    • Qualcomm will try to have its Apple Silicon moment in PCs with “Snapdragon X”

  • The recent Snapdragon chips have been awesome, but that's not Apple's magic, it's their x86 to ARM translation layer

    • Tensor G3 GPU performance/efficiency test results

  • Wow S8Gen2 looking crazy strong there

    • Come back to us bro!

  • Kinda conflicted here. Universities segregated based on sex/gender seem unnecessary to me, and merging with Western doesn't sound like a terrible plan.

    But also I suspect this is done more for profit so I'm not convinced the merge will be handled well

    • Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish

  • If only even 5% of people were actually going to donate

  • The bullshit Reddit & Spez pulled is a lot worse than forcing ads on YT imo

    • Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish

    Jump

  • Okay it's clearly imperfect but I don't see other similar platforms doing any better (most are doing much worse, e.g TikTok/Twitch)

    A decentralized alternative would be nice but, I don't see many ad-block users out here donating their own $ to these projects

  • Not really being reasonable. I don't make much above min wage but buy YT Premium

    • Racism and the CPC

  • Native & Canadian, not a history expert but my understanding is that on avg the US government was much more violent and aggressive with their colonization than Canada, even if Canada was pretty fucked too

    • What app you americans use for personal conversations?

    Jump

  • I mostly use Telegram/Signal/Discord, but Snapchat and Insta are very popular here in Canada

    • Please, do not use Brave.

    Jump

  • Except the browser isn't the only thing that needs to have revenue, websites also do, so buying a browser upfront doesn't negate the need for ads

    • YouTube isn't happy you're using ad blockers — and it's doing something about it

    Jump

  • Okay but would that not require more user and data tracking that Google is already being criticized for?

    Jump

  • I assume neither of us are in the ad business so we can't say for sure but, if they could charge more for skippable ads, I'd bet they would have already

    • What sort of data does Google collect from Google Calender, Keep, Photos, Drive?

    Jump

  • My understanding is the only one of those with a decent privacy policy is Photos

  • Skippable ads don’t bring in enough revenue to cover infrastructure costs
