that’s so weird because I got an email inviting me to participate and I haven’t ever been considered a ‘prolific poster’. I’m only at 60k and 12 years. I had no clue I was invited until I looked in my spam folder.

This is my favorite version of this so far.

Like I said, none of that happens to me and I’ve been using YouTube since 2006. It really does seem like a difference between paid and unpaid amounts.

Do you pay for premium? From what I’ve seen the algorithm is much more hostile to people who don’t pay. I literally _never _ have these problems about YouTube recommending stuff I don’t care about.

Your logic doesn’t make any sense. They make money off of people paying for a service or watching ads. If you’re blocking ads then you’re costing Google money and no creators are getting paid. If you’re paying for the service then you don’t get ads, and you pay the creators, and you pay for Google to keep running the service.

I thought it was adblocks latest update.

Google doesn’t sell your data, they’re one of the few that don’t. That doesn’t mean they aren’t misusing your data though. They’re more the dragon hoarder than the thief selling off stolen goods. They want all your data so they can learn everything about you. Selling your data to others makes it worth way less. It’s a difference in strategy. Google retains the data to enhance their products, Facebook sells your data because they have no products that would be improved by keeping it.

I actually got them all in order on my side.

Never even heard of matpat and I’ve been using YouTube since 2006

Man is this relatable this month lol

KFC and Godzilla, I’m pretty sure they have it perfectly figured out.

I think they assumed it was “husband” at the time, and only ex husband after the AM leak.

Skewed priorities like trying to make sure that Firefox continues to exist even with the massive amount of competition in the browser space and everything being taken over by chromium. Yeah. Definitely skewed priorities.

And yet all of Israel’s disinformation is allowed to stay up…

CommonMark has been out for almost a decade and still isn’t used ubiquitously, while asciidoc is standard everywhere.

There’s a mod for five?!?

You can help someone learn in a much nicer way than by making fun of their mistakes.

The hard part isn’t running ai on a device… it’s doing so while retaining battery life, performance, and privacy.

All new Roku devices do that, even if it’s not a Roku tv. Roku went from one of the best video devices to the worst in one fell swoop. Literally the only good off the shelf device is the Apple TV.
