That’s Like saying I don’t pay rent to the landlord, the house has already been built.

If a society agrees on this being right, no more houses will be built. And no movies will be made.

Is there something like:

If(not chrome){add_delay()}

?

Antitrust lawsuit, here we go!

YouTube will win this battle.

If they do 10nm++++ people also get angry.

At least he understands what’s going on. I think Elon doesn’t have that level of consciousness.

Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard

Zuck: Just ask.

Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS

[Redacted Friend’s Name]: What? How’d you manage that one?

Zuck: People just submitted it.

Zuck: I don’t know why.

Zuck: They “trust me”

Zuck: Dumb fucks.

Elon is so bad that we like Zuckerberg more than him

The thing about from financial transactions is:

a) governments will insist on regulation and influence

b) the recipient needs to use the same system.

If my landlord and my brokerage aren’t on TwitterFinance, there’s no way to use it to send them money

catalog-like search what’s that?

Do you wish for more consent popups or do you hope that youtube is afraid of causing friction and will go back to how things were?

Netflix is able to only serve paying customers.

Sure, granting view credits for ads is a little more complicated, but definitely within googles scope.

So they can block everyone, unless you either pay or watch ads. Unpopular, sure. But they have a huge library and a constant stream of new content, so enough people would put up with it. They can also start soflty, and only tighten the screws later. Lets start with one ad per day.

The reason while they have all the content, is precisely because they can generate revenue for channels. I much prefer payment through subcription and ad views to annoying in video sponsors and product placements

For now. If YT really wants to end it, they can

The EU decided that it rather doesn’t have any platforms than some which allow hate/propaganda/childabuse. The intent is to fight the mentioned things and ideally remove them from society. By and large, this decision is a democratic one and fine.

Platforms may continue operation, if they promise to remove all stuff. Here there are two options, one stipulating that all content needs to be checked before its published. Thats the draconian approach. Currently its fine to only go after user reported stuff.

Now to your first question: They fon’t gaf about musk and don’t care if he removes the stuff. But if he choses not to, they will shutdown twitter for europeans. Thats why they adress him, because he as a major shareholder and CEO (is he?) calls the shots there.

It’s my go-to player for various podcasts. I don’t end up watching, just listening. But it’s YouTube nonetheless.

While I don’t normally use it for music, the magic of it’s recommendation engine has led me into several amazing music niches, wich I wouldn’t have found otherwise.

At least in Germany there are Limits to t&c’s. To put it simply, there musn’t be any ugly surprises.

The merchant retroactively cancelling your purchases would be an ugly surprise of that nature.

Ianal, but I assume they might get into trouble for the use of words like buy and own, if this is how they treat the purchases.

whats wrong with personalized ads? is it much different from booking different TV channels for different audiences?

Lurking is fine. It just uses their server resources and doesn’t give them much value

I’m happy to see that the big German communities declined by more than half, and went from growth to decline
