  • Yea this is sketchy AF. Not to mention concerning due to its potential implications. Going to be interesting how not only YouTube but other platforms deal with this.

  • All this will do is piss off creators due to monetization reasons, lead them to complain against YouTube, forcing YouTube to change their monetization process, which will lead to again changing the way videos are made.

    And at the end, they will find a way to again shove ads in your face more efficiently.

  • You get access to news from publishers like WSJ, Wired, LA Times, National Review, as well as magazines from many others. You also get access to news audio which is not bad.

  • Im already finding it a hard sell for my News+ sub. This price increase may just lead me to cancel at this point.

  • Oh in no way am I saying that Google is a good guy here. I’m sure that if it were up to them, they would keep the current status quo.

    They are only doing this due to the pressure they’re getting for their poor track record of supporting their devices. But it is still a step in the direction nonetheless.

  • Agreed. This and Googles announcement last month of supporting new chromebooks for 10 years is a step in the right direction.

  • That’s a potential solution but the problem is that IT departments in schools are replacing them when they reach EOL in regards to security patches (since testing software isn’t supported). While there may be people interested, I can’t see many wanting to buy chromebooks that won’t be getting security patches and are sluggish.

  • The amount of Chromebooks that go to waste in K-12 schools is insane. So it is nice to see Google taking action on this, especially since its largest market are schools.

  • It won’t just be electric cars, it’ll be all new model cars from manufacturing companies. At least until ICE is phased out.

  • Battlefield 4. Was there from the buggy as shit release on the PS4 back in 2013. A little over 600 hours. Some of my best gaming memories.

  • On what grounds exactly? Their incompetence is what gave Meta the opening to launch a competitor to begin with.

  • Yes, it has been fun adding and contributing to the small and bigger communities on here alike. Not to mention that there have been more constructive conversations as well.

    I differ with your view in that I’m looking forward to having more people join and seeing these communities grow. As of now, the platform is still pretty niche (which is nice) but the fediverse can be built in a flexible way to give users the power in what they want to see and block.

  • Twetbot (which I used personally and loved), Tweetdeck, and Twitterrific to name a few. They have been around for a while (some over a decade).

  • Seriously. Imagine the developers who sunk all of their time, effort, and money to make great and beloved 3rd party apps for these platforms to see it completely screwed over in the span of mere months by people who do not understand what made these platforms unique and successful.
