I remember seeing an experiment saying that the difference is negligible. Even if it isn't, it's far more important to keep your battery between 20 and 80 percent at all times.

As an American, it's really sad to see the EU fall into this trap.

This is already the case because there's legal precedent.

It was simply a suggestion given that my neurodivergent friends have similar experiences. It's good that you ruled it out though.

Random thought: find some YouTubers who have Autism, watch a few videos, and see if you can strongly relate. If you do relate, it might be something worth exploring.

Reasonable control in the legal sense does matter though. Right now, a majority of creatives don't own their IP in the legal sense, and they can't stop large companies from milking their works dry as a result. In the absence of IP laws, creatives would be able to create their works, but they'd also be competing against companies that have the resources to monetize, influence the general public, and kill the franchise through poor choices.

It's really important to know that the vast majority of people aren't going to have the goodwill to tip or otherwise support free works, and it's even less likely if a large company does enough marketing to overshadow an artist.

Just call them a wet wipe and leave

It very much is still a problem. It's unrealistic to expect the majority of YT users to use a tool like SponsorBlock.

I already understand the point of the video. I'm saying that the point of the video doesn't reflect the wishes and wills of all artists. If someone pours their heart and soul into something, they should have reasonable control over how that something is used by other people. The last thing we want is to demotivate those artists from making great works.

I don't agree with that video, and I'm sure that a good chunk of talented creators wouldn't appreciate losing control of their own works. Copyright needs to be rewritten, but abolished is quite a huge overcorrection

Why would Apple make a tool for Xiaomi phones?

My one, desire

This isn't always the case.

One counterargument: without your current location, it can't send any weather alerts that immediately impact your safety.

The problem is that people in this thread are in the mindset that tipping encourages lower wages, when in reality, low wages encourage tipping. The US has an absurdly low minimum wage relative to the cost of living, and that minimum wage of $7.25 has an exemption for tipped employees who can earn as little as $2.33 an hour. While it's true that many states have higher minimum wages than the federal wage, there are several that are the same as federal.

The problem with marketing is that conservatives will make a huge deal about it. It's better to keep things lesser known so that they actually happen.

I don't think they are. In my view, social media is either personal ( i.e. pictures on Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat ) or short + very mainstream ( Twitter, TikTok). Reddit has too many niches that collectively make up an enormous chunk of the platform, plus it is very anonymous. I'd argue that the same is true of YouTube, and a lot of the content is closer to TV and journalism.

Same is true for dating and green flags.

"Hey you're complaining about all the asbestos you had in your house but you still had asbestos in your house...what's up with that?"

Past choices don't reflect present knowledge or values. This is true on both a personal and societal level.

The difference between pirates and drug dealers is that the former tends to need some level of tech literacy.
