  • Because AI and previously google searches are not a substitute for having knowledge and experience. You can learn by googling something and reading about how something works so you can figure out answers for yourself. But googling for answers will not teach you much. Even if it solves a problem, you won’t learn how. And won’t be able to fix something in the future without googling th answer again.

    If you dont learn how to do something, you won’t be experienced enough to know when you are doing it wrong.

    I use google to give me answers all the time when im problem solving. But i have to spend a lot more time after the fact to learn why what i did fixed the problem.








  • What’s the endgame here for users?

    Do we just want a reasonable subscription price? Something we can genuinely afford?

    If youtube doesn’t play ads then they cant remain a service. At least not as it is today. Hosting costs money.

    Im not shilling for them, i dont want ads either. And google are a terrible company. But im trying to be realistic.

    Do we want cheap subscription?

    Or a reduced service that can be maintained without so many ads

    Do we just want 5 second skippable ads back?

    Im just seeing this fight progressing to the point were youtube becomes subscription only and the ad blocker users have to pay or lose the service they obviously want to access.



  • Why dont these companies accept theybarent worth as much any more and just provide less services until they balance off.

    The stuff they cant afford to provide could be taken on by someone else. Being a one company does all type master of none sort of thing is clearly bad for society and the economy.

    I dont really know what im talking about but i just dont get why they see losses and an end to growth but take the position of “we need to find a way to keep this going” instead of “we need to sell off things until our company is making money again, even if its less money”
