Taking the moral high ground after already blocking ads, which are pay based on view as opposed to based on segment? Do sponsor pay more based on segment of the video that is watched?
I can see someone who pays from YouTube premium taking this stance, but it is odd making it as though only blocking ads is morally superior to sponsorblock. When both forms are not providing revenue I'm not sure this grandstanding has much weight.
I tried testing it out in the connect app by going to a link you commented on and clicking I think what is your mtgzone username and it correctly took me to the correct profile for me
Is there vlemmy comments and communities still viewable on other instances? I wonder if that vlemmy user had deleted the comment then before the instance itself went down.
I am curious when an instance completely shuts down if comments fade over time to deleted or stay archived and what dictates comments staying or disappearing.
When I looked in my inbox of all replies I saw a vlemmy comment, which showed deleted. I had replied to it too, but that getting deleted made my response not be publicly visible. Only searched it out because was in a comment in a thread where I asked from anime recommendations and had started watching their recommendation then wondered where the comment had gone.
Not so much for basketball and American football though which are the main college sports that are the main focus of most programs. Guess should have said LeBron, since afterwards the rules changed.
But, that is my point. That as you said guys of Messi's caliber already go pro early. Like how Luka Dončić went pro at 16 compared to players like LeBron who had to wait until he graduated college and then guys like Durant had to do one year of college after the rule change. So it was speaking of the differences in college competitiveness in the states compared to overseas.
Highest paid NCAA football coach makes nearly 11 million dollars because of all the revenue and attention around college sports. It just seems like a completely different level of interest compared to what other countries have in their college sports. It's a giant industry. With of course student athletes not being paid.
Yeah, I've wondered about that. College sports seem a bigger deal in the US than in other countries. Overseas you got kids already being trained by pro clubs and high school age kids playing in the pros in places like Europe as opposed to having to wait until they meet an arbitrary age limit or year of college before they are allowed to go pro.
If that's the case then college sports overseas doesn't sound like it'd be filled with potential star candidates, so even less of a big deal than high school if it means those athletes in college have hit their peak so are unlikely to go pro or be part of the national team. Same excitement wouldn't be there, since in the US players as good as Messi would be forced to play in college before being able to move on which is also what makes college sports exciting despite being amateurs.
Or spoilers after spoilers if you search up some media you are interested in. I hate those youtubers so much who put the spoilers right in the tile and thumbnail.
I went with lemmy.one because of privacyguides from reddit, and I liked that the move of actually being serious about the protest by making an alternative to move away from. Very few of the subreddits I subscribed to ever decided to make an instance or a fediverse community, so lemmy.one was what I defaulted to in the beginning. Since then Android has made an instance too, so that'd be my second choice. Anyways, that's how I decided by going with what I was familiar with.
Sounds like a positive to me. One of the worst things is looking up content for a game or tv/movie show you're interested in then getting suggested similar content that increases the chance of spoilers due to people who put it in their thumbnail or titles.
I hated when via moved to using a web browser to remapping, since I find it hard to trust if the website is compromised. Fortunately my keyboard can do vial.
Interest rates probably plays a role with people having locked up mortgages at 2-3% and then seeing that if they sell and looked for a new home it'd be at like 6%.
More challenging is to remove the benefit of answering as a bystander and hand over an active role, so now the question is would you torture an innocent to keep the world alive. Then question progresses to what if that innocent is someone you care most about to see the extent of their resolve
Let's put more of the responsibility in the individuals hands. Would you be willing to carry out the torture of innocents under the belief that your actions guarantee peace?
Thanks for the explanation. Now I understand the dislike for snap.
