Back then videos were a lot less produced and more raw style. When I first started using/watching youtube in 07 content was a lot quicker to make.
"Quality" is subjective and doesn't necessarily require much money.
The requiring money isn't about cost to produce its the time it takes. Most successful channels now have several hours of editing for each video because the average standard of videos now looks like it could be produced for TV.
Thousands of people already are. Myself included.
And it's not "just for fun", it's because we don't want to subject ourselves to abusive and invasive corporations.
I agree with this on paper, but in practice the "customer base" is currently Youtube and TikTok. If I want to create a serious channel with a lot of views and a large community I'd need to spend all my free time making and editing videos and without a real chance to monetize its just not worth it.
Most people don't start making videos to make money. In the early Tube days there was no money.
Not anymore, people have jobs which take up at least 8 hours of their day, sleep another lets round it to 8 hours, then other responsibilities. Anyone who seriously want to make quality videos on a consistent schedule wants to make money and the end goal being to turn it into their job.
PeerTube only has 1 less avenue for monetization than YT, among dozens.
People on Youtube are much more easily able to make money and make a living. Most of it actually has nothing to do with Youtube other than the fact that Youtube provides them with a base of billions of potential viewers.
AdSense which is hands down the worst of them.
Sponsors allow people to decide who they are willing to show on their videos and makes people decent money especially bigger creators. That's not going to happen on smaller platforms.
Patrion this is probably the biggest one people are able to get consistent monthly income and make Youtube their full time job.
Creator made subscription platforms. This is another big perk I pay for 2 curiosity stream and the history one.
No one is going to a platform thats "just for fun" because content quality will suffer and be less enjoyable for creators.
Lol why does AI need to be in ask photos when I search for a photo google can already find it with just the discription a lone for exaple License plate, name of person, time of year its so good. Just give up on the google AI please.
Not the same thing if they object to a stranger living in their home, and you let them in anyway, they feel less safe and now if they come to you because that person does something bad you're more likely to question whether they're being truthful or not. It's literally the case for so many parents who think their kids are just trying to lie to get then out the house.
It's not that hard to wait to move them in. Let them come over for dinner or game night and let kids get comfortable and like them first.
That's a good point, I guess I'd add that it's fine to keep seeing them or even to allow them over for dinner or to game night, but giving children time to get to know them and like them before officially moving in.
Don't be surprised when they don't talk to you when grown up or ask to live with the other parent because you are prioritizing your new partner over your literal children. Also violating their consent.
It won't get bad there it's the richest country and has direct democracy, CHF 5,430 post tax median salary. There's nothing for an authoritarian party to say to convince voters who are the wealthier people (actual citizens) of Switzerland
Also the average assets for adults is over $700K they're too rich to fall to power hungry parties
Switzerland is probably the country most likely to leave everyone alone lol. Because they're a direct democracy and extremely decentralized. Plus internationally neutral.
You are paying for the physical infrastructure. Your ISP connects the physical cables to your house/apartment that allow you to access the Internet. Google Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari..... Are the digital portals to the web and search engines let you "serf" the web. We only pay for 1 service the physical. If we banned data we'd pay for at least 2 if not all 3 plus individual sites
What web browser are you using to get to this site? Unless you're on dialup you're accessing the Internet through a web browser that uses data to pay for the upkeep of the servers
It's not a false dichotomy, the companies that give us access to the Internet like Google need to make money in one way or another, they sell our user data to other companies which then give targeted ads to us. If we banned the use of user data it would require a monthly subscription
We pay an ISP because they have to maintenance on a massive physical structure to keep running properly. We do not pay for the Internet, some websites charge money but Google and the general web is free to use.
wow, so there are continuums. In that case group B is the "transitional" group between species A and C or the common ancestor between the 2. I guess we'd need a category for this situation. What a mess. Maybe "Intraspecies".
It just feels wrong to leave the tree/pyramid of life incomplete as far as categorizing.
As long as facts aren't being censored I see no issues
