Do you pay them any money to have the songs on the platforms?

If not, I wonder if they charge you a fee but only deduct their fee from your earnings. So if you don't get plays then they don't ask for money. And the break even point is at around 1 million plays. Just a theory of course; I'm sure it's all stated in the fine print.

Based on your numbers, ~260k plays per dollar. The person in the submission would have to get ~2600 billion plays to get $10 million.

Something doesn't seem right with those numbers.

There are people on forums doing the same thing as the person in the submission. 1 person with ~30 phones can generate about 15-20k streams in a day doing it manually.

I've been curious about going alone on the Fedi but I've always been concerned about data storage. How much drive space do you think is required? I presume it accumulates over time.

Cost per month or year?

I still use Lemmy and Reddit side by side. I find a lot of submissions and comments on Reddit downvoted, where they're nothing burger contributions; some of the most non-divisive, non-offensive, and opinionless contributions I've come across.

I don't recall this behaviour when I first started using Reddit about 10 years ago. It makes me wonder if the world has become a lot more bitter in recent years since this type of behaviour is seen across platforms.

Nftables ables your NFTs 😂

By pasting content, I meant pasting images. I've just checked it and it doesn't do it yet. I often will take a screenshot but only copy the image because saving it pointless.

We need a NOVA replacement with how they've recently restructured the company. It looks like NOVA is getting squeezed for the last few cents they've got to offer by whom ever bought the company 1-2 years ago.

I've tried every other launcher I could find. In my opinion they all seemed to be minimalistic by design or they just lacked features.

Does the futo keyboard allow you to paste content yet?

I briefly used it but found the lack of content pasting too much of a hindrabce.

I find it weird that they upload content to their own servers even when you provide them with an external link.

Or they could just compression for their PNGs. PNG is a lossless format so they'll only lose a fraction of a second during creation.

uBlock and advert blocking DNS user: you have ads?

Just using uBlock is great if you only use a web browser that supports it.

Interesting. I wonder if things have changed from a few months ago, or are not all bans equal.

When did you do this? Some time recently?

The cross posting was annoying because there was a lot of it and there was no engagement. I'd prefer a few submissions with actual engagement than a ton of ghost town submissions.

Create a new account and use Reddit like you normally would if that's something you want to do. I've been site wide banned for 1-2 weeks earlier this year and I used an alt account throughout with zero repercussions.

I got site wide banned earlier this year for 1-2 weeks because I stated to a mod that I was going to circumvent their sub ban with an alt account. I got instantly permanently banned from a sub for holding a having a different opinion to the mod. I used an alt account using the same IP addresses and devices and didn't do abything; not even a warning.

It's not in the interest of Reddit to permanently ban you from their website. They lose advert money and they lose actively monthly users numbers which affect their stock prices.

I wonder what it would be like converting DC to DC at those voltages and power.

Unfortunately people don't see voting systems as a method to highlight the relavency of a contribution. They see it as a like/dislike system, and so I see as shut up signal used by most because downvoting a contribution buries it to the bottom where few people will see it.

If it was used for relevancy and quaility then communities would be self regulating by the users. I believe Reddit's guidelines state(s/d) it's voting system was meant to be for relevancy, even though most people use it as a like/dislike system.
