Meh, you’re just building an echo chamber. Everyone around is of the same opinion, everything against is downvoted to hell, sometimes bans are handed out.

And you are starting to believe you’re normal and you’re keeping your space clean of all the “assholes”. But instead you’re just way too far up your own ass most of the time.

Your downvotes don’t hurt. It’s just sad that this ambitious project that could’ve easily replaced reddit, turned into a circle-jerk. The content and opinion-diversity on everything that’s reachable from my current instance is approximately /r/antiwork. I could just go back and spend all my days browsing that one sub without any loss. But such pompous name “fediverse”.

You got nothing folks. Every community is about USA only and all the top posts are “trump bad”, “capitalism bad.” Like nothing else exists. You sabotaged yourselves. There’s no fediverse. There are 20-40k people chanting together “fuck trump, fuck musk, fuck capitalism”. On every instance, in every thread, on every topic.

And you know what, I agree with all three. But even to me you look pathetic. And as my multiple tests confirm, you do not accept any disagreement, and you cannot brin any rational argument to the table, you can only echo.

Fediverse: extremely USA-centric, extremely left and queer. Dissent is punished as hard as posting Winnie Pooh on TikTok.

True. Nonetheless, “women bad” memes aren’t a valid replacement. Please, kindly proceed to 9gag.com to find a community of like-minded individuals.

Bob Ross gets a share of the price for selling your soul to Google. He’s a tool in corporate abuse of humanity. Otherwise he would’ve long time ago quit YouTube with a clear public statement.

Facebook is a product that cost billions to develop. It scaled so fast at some point, they developed a big data framework on top of MySQL, cuz refactoring wasn’t an option. Their tech stack is the funniest chimera out there. And it only happened because everyone loved it so much. Facebook costs billions per year to run. And you get it for free. I mean, you pay with your data, just like on YouTube.

Lemmy, you show as usual that you cannot even basic math. You’re not entitled to criticize capitalism until you learn how to count. You sound stupid.

Top 3 upvoted post on lemmy for me, since I blocked all political content.

Tells you everything about your average lemming. Basement dwellers. This place is a queer wanna-be commie 4chan in disguise.

You folks need to go touch some grass.

And this image is just a clever rehash of those 🤷

Again you’re wrong. It’s counted directly by the amount you watch and goes to the creators you watch.

Or, equivalently, pool all revenue, divide by watch time, get the same result.

You can verify this by constructing an excel table of 10 users (rows) and 3 channels (columns). Assign random % weights of “watch time” per user per channel. Assume a constant subscription fee of 1. Verify that a column_sum is the same as column_average*10, where 10 is the total platform revenue, as there are 10 users each paying 1.

You keep imagining some way how YT could get cheaper for you.

But in fact, ads are highly profitable, and if you buy a premium there’s a very transparent revenue share model. 70% of your money goes directly to the creators.

All your wishes are already fulfilled, you’re just poor and are trying to justify not paying with imagined arguments.

Voter turnout is low on both sides. In your lame battleground states it’s especially republicans who don’t vote. If tomorrow you’ll have election with a 100% turnout, trump will win.

Oh, and he is wanted. By like half of the country. You better get used to it. Or are you against democracy?

Signal just somehow forgets to store your IP address. So, their response will be “here are our logs, that phone number last time logged in yesterday, that’s all we got”

Here’s a pro tip: sleep a lot the day before, and ideally the day before that too. On the important night don’t exhaust yourself with gaming or whatever, but don’t force it. You’ll end up sleeping maybe 4h, but if you slept well the previous two days, you’ll be fine.

Sleep deprivation only really shows over prolonged periods of time. You can ace a lot of tests with the above method.

That’s cuz you never had a proper napolitan pizza you uncultured swine. You’d never open your mouth about pizza again, or call anything you can buy in your America a pizza.

For those peasants who’ve never heard of olio peperoncino

Good point. Time to gdpr my bank.

I will pay for their single player if reasonable, I’ll probably pirate cuz their shitty online tracking made GTA5 not even worth playing legally for free. A pirated version would’ve worked much better and wouldn’t require their fkn launcher social club disaster.

But absolutely surely I’ll know I’m not an anti-corpo warrior. Just a tiny rebel insignificant enough to ignore. And I only matter a tiny bit, because I actually would’ve bought their game if it was on GOG.

And if everyone always bought on GOG only, you’d see a much, much stronger presence on that platform.

Till then their answer to you will be “hey you’ve been playing this game and your friends did too, well in order to play together it’s 10$/months, good luck pirating that”.

You want to portrait yourself as an anti-corpo warrior. But all you’re doing is making corpo content a mainstream monopoly, and through that they will eventually find a way to make someone pay for it.

You will only make corpos go broke if you actually spend some money on alternative content. Meaning that content will get better, and there will be some follower base to enjoy that content with.

And they’re not doing it to protect their customers. They’re doing it so only they have this data.

Your identity, most of the time, is not revealed to the merchant. The payments online and through a credit-card machine are processed through a 3rd party. The seller doesn’t get your info, only money on their bank account.

Doesn’t your credit card provider still get all your data?

E.g. doesn’t visa/mastercard know about every transaction? They charge fees and they have a fraud prevention systems. So, I think, they do, right?

Me in yurop, using a debit MasterCard, never needed a credit score. Who has my data, what are they doing with it, and how do I burn down their server?

(The answer, kids, is Stripe. Give it some years, it will be lit)
