Ngl, I'm torn on this because I'm honestly not sure I could stop using YouTube.

I hate ads with a burning passion, though, so we'll see which wolf wins out there.

If i can't get around this using something like SponsorBlock, I feel like I'll probably just set up some kind of pipeline to download videos and remove the ads myself (maybe using AI if it's that bad) and just serve them over Jellyfin or something. Gonna be a pain, though.

Would've been more deep to just not say anything, tbh.

Right? I mean I get there are problems in the world, but this post is literally saying "you're stupid for not joining a resistance (apparently any resistance) because you enjoy movies where the protagonist resists something."

What an insanely shallow take.

Fair points all around. Have a great evening!

I don't disagree that the word should exist, I'm saying it's become overused to the point of becoming meaningless. Take this entire thread, for instance. This is not enshittification - yet, here we are.

Protecting profits isn't the same as trying to squeeze more profits. If companies were enacting bad policy out of legitimate concern for their business (as is the case here), it wouldn't necessarily be an issue.

That's a stretch.

I think we see it so much because kids on the internet think it's fun to say. It's dismissive and stifles meaningful conversation.

Besides, this instance isn't even enshittification anyway.

Enshittification is when a company makes the user experience worse to squeeze more money out of them. This is just government regulation.

Yeah me too, but can we not discuss it in a more nuanced and useful way than just shoving this word into every single post on Lemmy?

Wo-oah, you're halfway there.

God I'm getting sick of that word.

I feel like it has to do with the "mystical" or metaphorical perception of mirrors, especially early on.

Like, as if looking "into a mirror" is analogous to looking "into a (or rather: the) mirror world", if that makes sense.

Kind of the same reason we use the preposition "in" or "into" rather than the more physically correct "at".

Wtf its been a year?? What a wild ride!

I figure the sentence is perfectly understandable with or without it, but it's a fun little extra for anyone that knows some Japanese. Besides, this is the internet, why keep ourselves bound to just one language, ね?

Hey, I resemble that remark.

...what?

Probably worth putting Tarn's name in the title tbh. (Directed at PCGamer, not OP)

What do you mean? Recall was never a savestate system or anything like that, ね? It just takes screenshots.

Aha, so I was right, you will give it to someone. >=3
