I should take some time and find another redirect for http://notreddit.com

Well, obviously, someone should have asked Veranda if she was OK with that.

Libertarian nationalist? Isn’t that mutually exclusive?

Deluded. ;D

I agree with a lot of what you’ve said in the nested chain, but Trump didn’t have power over the fed, and macroeconomics are typically not something a president has sway over. So if you’re mearly saying the economy was better under Trump, and Biden had shit luck inheriting something that was bound to turn ugly as the economy of Covid caught up to us, sure, ok, but the way you worded it is ambiguous at best.

It’s a shame so many people are unable to see that the world is hurting economically from covid still. That food prices and inflation are a global issue. That it’s silly to pin that blame on a single individual. That so far America seems to be weathering the storm better than other prolific countries. That other than the black mark of Isreal and Palestine that overshadows his entire presidency, he’s done a lot of good domestically.

Oh well. :/

That comments section is such a dumpster fire of what I hope are bots and not actual human beings… Because damn, otherwise, Giant Meteor 2024

I understand your first point, that its frustrating for something thats always been free with limited to no ads to change its model.

The thing I want to know though is, YouTube costs a shit ton in terms of infrastructure and development hours, do you have a suggestion on how they can host the public and private content they host and deliver hundreds of petabytes a day while turning a profit? Do you stop user uploads, delete channels that have been inactive for a decade, delete private videos of non-subscribers?

Inb4 well they shouldnt exist because thats not how they formed tired argument ive seen, then my question is, ok so lets say we’re thinking up a YouTube replacement. How do we model it so the company makes money, people arent the product, i can upload what I want, watch it for free without ads, people who draw others to the platform make money too, ect… What gets cut?

Edit: Because I don’t have a suggestion and I dont think its possible to get anything like the old YouTube we all loved without making major consessions, otherwise I think we’d have more than a handful of compeitors.
