If I may offer a new way to think about things - YouTube ads support creators by allowing them to make a living making their videos. It’s quite different than Facebook, Instagram, and Reddit, where a company is just hosting and monetizing people discussing and sharing things with each other. If you want to see good content, YouTube decentralized alternatives will really only take off if there is some sort of crowd funding going to creators. Which would most likely take the form of a subscription. And…that is essentially YouTube premium anyway. And I might add that I’ve had YouTube premium for years and it’s my favorite subscription I have across the entire internet.

It’s basically a note-taking/journaling app that allows you to link entries to other entries similar to Wikipedia. Overtime you create a wiki of your mind and experiences. It’s also free and saves your files in markdown.
AB7ORH7D@lemmy.worldOPto Technology@lemmy.world•Lemmy is being filled with ragebait and doombait from new accounts. This is what drove me and others away from Reddit.English27·2 years agoThis is not due to subscriptions - the same thing can be seen logged out. Additionally, communities you are not subscribed to show up in the home feed - you would need to block such communities to not see content from them. You could make the argument that one should really just browse communities you’re interested in without viewing the home page, which is fair. However, take technology for example. There are many positive innovations that can be talked about. Instead - Right now, the posts in order, summarized in the same format as my post would be: 1. Corporation bad (ally bank). 2. global warming dystopia (Texas heat) 3. corporation bad (Netflix raising prices) 4. corporation bad (Elon Musk sued) 5. regular post 6. corporation bad (playstation store crap) 7. regular post 8 through 11 is corporation bad and AI dystopia news.

I might be pretty ignorant here but what is so proprietary about Twitter/Threads? It just lets people make public status updates and share photos. Unless they literally used the same lines of code, how is it infringement and trade secrets?

Which makes the whole “you’re not even paid for this” hit much harder. But here I am on Lemmy with a username different than my Reddit account breathing fresh internet air where no anonymous strangers yell at me
