Usually the most straightforward solution is good enough. And when you want to improve the performance, it’s rarely about time complexity.

He’s also probably doing “altruistic acts” to defend himself against criticism.

Ow my balls!

Hate is a strong word.

I have a dislike for them. Especially in recent years. There was a time I thought they were the cool hip company with lots of cool innovations. When Google docs launched it was so revolutionary that two people could work with the same document at the same time.

Now I see them more for what they are: an advertisement provider. They’re only after our data. Once I realized that my dislike for them grew.

But my dislike for them hasn’t been enough to stop using their products. I’ve tried DDG a few times, but I’ve always been dissatisfied with their results.

It’s Poe’s law

I post my ignorant opinions somewhere. There’s always someone who will correct me with correct information.

I’m sure they had loads of fun writing this.

They want to make stuff that look good in the quarterly earnings report. They want to show they’re fully committed to AI in all their products or whatever.

They don’t want satisfied customers. They want satisfied investors.

I guess I’m 1. No, I don’t watch “adult video”.

I already have a decent amount of masturbation addiction, and I don’t want to make it worse.

Why don’t you just go directly to FaltyDL’s own channel directly if you want to listen to their music, instead of relying on some BS playlist unrelated to the artist? Music seems to be accessible there without Andrew Tate shit.

People use YouTube because that’s where you get biggest outreach. YouTube pay a little, but YouTubers mostly rely on secondary incomes like sponsors and Patreon. Both of these are viable on any other platform.

Podcasts have mainly been using this model for a long time.

The underlying tech doesn’t matter. Only it has an easy to use interface. I just took FTP as an example of technology that already exists today.

Recommendation systems don’t need to be that complicated. In its base form it’s just a list of videos you’ve watched (or content creators or topics). It can then be compared with the watching lists of other people to get an idea of what else you might be interested in. No need for any advanced video recognition.

Maybe this list is isolated within a single instance. Maybe it can be shared between instances. Different instances might use different recommendation systems.

Again, it might not work as well as YouTube’s, but I don’t think it needs to.

Recommendation systems are well studied. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to add some form of recommendation layer separate from (or on top of) the content delivery. It doesn’t need to be up to par with YouTube’s, at least before there’s any major content.

Most YouTubers rely on sponsors or Patreon. Podcasters are doing the same - many of which are self hosting. So I don’t think an ad delivery system is that needed.

I don’t see how it would have to work much differently compared to how Pocketcast or Overcast already works.

The first problem is getting content to the platform.

I don’t have an answer to your question, but suicide isn’t that simple.

Bad things can happen to people, and they would never consider suicide. Good things can happen to people, but they still commit suicide.

I don’t think people always know exactly why they’re suicidal. They might believe it’s because they didn’t get into the dream university or failing exams. It might be a triggering factor, but not the full story.

I don’t believe there’s a checklist of things to do and not to do. Why a person might end up in suicide is entirely personal.

I got a Switch. It’s been mostly untouched for years. Most games that aren’t created by Nintendo themselves are available on Steam. I even played Totk on PC using Yuzu.

Easy solution: host an FTP with all the videos. It has existed long before YouTube was a thing.

More advanced solution: Torrent ala Pirate Bay. High quality videos have been distributed this way long before YouTube even supported 1080p. Peertube is based on similar solution as this.

The main problem is to attract content creators to the platform. The problem isn’t technical.

Technically not debut, but Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man was well timed.

It was shortly after the run of the 90s TV cartoon. VFX had just reached a point where convincing web slinging could be made. A few years earlier it would’ve looked awful.

I would also say that along with X-Men it started a new era of super hero movies where they could be taken seriously. Compare it to the Batman movies in the 90s, which are goofy in comparison.
