Maybe everyone’s a completionist and would rather play the games in order rather than jump into the story halfway through ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There is such a vast amount of random crap being uploaded, that the content creators that actually generate views, hence revenue, must bear a huge sinkhole of costs for youtube.
There are better ways around this than by doubling the price for everyone and continuing to allow unlimited BS uploads for free. They charge $1.99 for 100GB of storage for email and photos. I guess it never occurred to them to include a minor barrier like this that most legitimate aspiring content creators would be willing to pay but would stop randos posting 10 hour long videos in 4K.
So, in a little over a year everyone in the USA will be shot dead? 875K people are shot daily?
It probably isn’t. Which is such a shame because you’re gonna miss out on 40 episodes of legitimately some of the best TV ever made. But that makes the let-down so much worse when it comes.
You’re proud of this, but you missed out. There truly was a golden age where it was easier to pay $8 for streaming and everyone was happy. Good for you for being Nostradamus and everything, but there was a good ~8 years there where you really could have enjoyed the ride if you wanted.
It was the reason I came back to Spotify when I decided to give Pandora a shot, way back when.
Right. Two minutes is nothing. I live in Florida my water bill for 4 people is $50. Water conservation is the very very least of my worries.
Maybe if there was a way for me to send my hypothetically unused water over to Cali I’d care more, but.
But that’s how it’s supposed to work, so it’s working just fine? Amazing, actually.
I agree with you, but I’m curious to know your thoughts: What do you do when the 2-3% of people who are willing to take that fight head-on aren’t nearly enough to combat the endless bots and astroturfers across social media? I don’t count myself amongst those 2-3% by the way, I’m on Lemmy and not Reddit in part to avoid some of that. Engaging is far too much effort and I have my own problems to worry about.
Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it!
Okay so is anyone going to elaborate, or…?
I maintain that it’s pretty simple, actually. Humans are animals, just like any other. That comes with irrationality baked in. We think we’re so much better than, say, orangutans, but are we really? I’m not impressed. I often think about how we would behave if we didn’t have language or opposable thumbs. I realized one day that all we have to do is observe traffic.
Almost as though fewer people being able to afford new cars by extension means that there are fewer used cars available out there.
Okay so here we are speculating about this, but there’s data on this isn’t there? Is it not the case that countries who tax tobacco more have all but eliminated it? I’m not well versed on the subject, but I think it’s a bit silly to just pull this out of your ass as if it were fact. Here’s a link to an ncbi article that talks about it. I’m sure there’s plenty more out there to show one way or the other, so I’m interested to know whether you have anything to back up your stance.
Has Reddit’s popularity dipped? We know its quality dipped, but it’s probably better known now than it ever has been. Doesn’t matter how many bots there are if there are also real people there too.
Do you want to stop playing chess after every other move and be forced to watch part of some medieval war drama unfold before continuing?
Yes, that sounds amazing actually
People don’t know what words mean anymore. Everything is hyperbole
They literally tell you when you go through setup.
Well yeah you can understand most stories without reading/hearing the first part and it’s not like Legend of Zelda is exactly Moby Dick.
