Lemmy only has the information that I give it.

And it demands fairly little information.

I’ll take that in exchange for nobody privately owning as much of my shit as they can get their filthy hands on.

You pick songs, they squeeze ads and other songs in between (IIRC) and can gather data from how you interact with all of that.

You’re understanding the value of big data.

It’s why I reject all of these services. CDs, baby!

The article sure reads like AI word salad. Unfortunately it’s just legible enough that it could just be a dumb human with a thesaurus.

The government website is way more readable.

I hate Elon Musk and I still like the cybertruck.

I’m ashamed but I’d probably buy one and be happy with it, 100% in the city, doing mostly light hobby work, towing a boat, or locally camping.

Look at the tires, they are pretty suboptimal.

I switched to an EV 3 years ago and there is way too much torque at low rpm. The power curve just probably isn’t designed for loose dirt. Not to mention the cyber truck weighs a billion pounds.

Firefox with Adblocker Ultimate working fine for me as of last night. I’ll check again tonight.

Seriously, I don’t know why this is news.

Wait, yes I do, half the population is stupid.

What’s Threads?

No, nevermind, I don’t want to know.

I’d happily pay for YouTube if they hadn’t done bullshit free shenanigans to kill their competition while expanding their reach.

I’ll never pay for YouTube now.

This is his approach to IP broadly speaking, I believe.

Edit for clarity:

If you can’t effectively try something without paying, pirate it and pay if you want to and can support it.

It’s a goodwill model.

NewPipe works too

I wonder if advertisers will wake up and realize it too.

I would love this

You literally just proved my point.

It wasn’t profitable. And it was free. It killed competition by losing money.

And now, by your concession, they are turning it into a business.

That’s a fundamental change in the service. Fuck that. Either it was always their intent, in which case they were lying scum the whole time. Or it wasn’t their intent and they’ve just decided spontaneously to prioritize profit, in which case it’s greed and betrayal.

Either way, fuck 'em.

Me considers moving to EU after Twitter withdrawl.

YouTube defended their monopoly by running for free. They murdered the growth of legitimate competitions like Vimeo that had healthier business models… Because they didn’t try to run for free.

And now that they’ve saturated the market and killed off all of the serious competition it’s time to profit

Well, frankly, go fuck yourself.

So long YouTube, and thanks for all the fish. 🐬

Your search data and history.

Listening profiles: what tastes do you have, and what other things do you like? If you like Ray Lamontagne and Taylor Swift what else might keep you on the platform?

What % of people like X? What sorts of trends are happening in music? Chord preferences, rhythms, bpm, etc

All of this aggregate data can be sold to different companies, record labels, etc.

… Except they gather your data and use it to try and make profit.

Say least radio required them to give genuine value to you. Radio had to give away shit and run contests to get caller info to figure out how many listeners they had, to get advertisers etc. It was a real business.

Spotify just buys the music catalogue and then forces you into their ecosystem.
