Yeah, I think a lot of people on Hackernews fall into the "advertising never worked on me" or "I'm too smart for propaganda" camp. Clickbait is not just big red arrows and "OMG" in the title. It certainly

Well, do you want a platform people watch videos on, or a platform people simply upload videos to, never to be seen?

This is just a great example of people who aren't in content creation fundamentally not understanding the ecosystem. This isn't about "over-produced thumbnail-bait". This is about all high-quality media. You mention Rick

It's not about people "trying to make money", it's about viewers wanting to see high quality videos. High quality videos just cost a lot of money and labor to produce. There is simply no way around this. Any platform whi

The problem is that big creators have many subscribers, because they're the only ones making videos people want to watch. If a channel has 100 subscribers - (except if it's a brand new channel) - it's because people saw the v

The problem is that all of those accounts that don't earn money don't earn money because they get no views, because they make videos no one wants to watch. I don't know the exact statistics but a simple Google search says tha

About as likely as opening a grocery store where people can pay through voluntary donations. I'm a professional YouTuber. The problem with a "donation" system is that, unlike something like tweets or even blog posts which are

As a professional YouTuber, the main issue I instantly see with this is the lack of monetization. I think people who don't make videos for a living severely underestimate how expensive it is to produce high-quality videos people want t

The problem is that not all parents are "concerned parents" and children dont deserve to be taken advantage of by trillion dollar corporations for the crime of having bad parents.

Some writers like Martial were pretty much writing mildly entertaining commentary, not much different to social media now.

Its not a war because children arent combatants. It's instead a one sided slaughter where Meta and Google are destroying the minds of a whole generation of children who cannot and cannot be expected to defend themselves against the cla

As far as I can tell .gov.nl is only used for pages aimed at i.e. expats and businesses. Most services dutch people use simply have a .nl page like the digital id or filing taxes.

It exists, but the vast majority of government services dont use it (i.e. taxes are just done through belastingdienst.nl).

I think theres some real use cases in the household department. I would love an AI that I just tell my nutrition goals (I want to eat X calories, Y protein, Z fiber, hit all vitamins) and it just generates a full meal plan for me each day.

Yes, as a society we can collectively decide what companies should and shouldn't do. It's called living in a society with rules and regulations. > Every single games company faced with this issue is now going to change the term

All of these freedoms would only kick in after the developer shuts down official servers, after which the product is discontinued and not generating income anyway. It wouldn't affect game developers at all, the only change would be tha

Games in general are a very difficult thing to preserve because of how they are often "on-going" things rather than definitive objects like books or films. Minecraft has gone through 27 major version updates, most of which having

Yes, because children deserve to simultaneously not be under constant surveillance by their parents but still be protected from bad actors. Hence we should collectively, as a society, protect them.

Not all children have active parents. I do not believe those children deserve to be taken advantage of or hurt simply because they happen to have bad parents. The "laziness" argument doesnt work if the people being lazy (parents)

Also, if the government arrests you for making a post, the issue is them arresting you, not your post not being anonymous. Like, criticizing the government shouldnt just be possible because you can hide behind a fake name. It should be lega

Because many children will have parents that arent responsible and that doesnt mean they deserve to be taken advantage of by a billion dollar corporation.

This is famously why ID checks at the liquor store led to the government eventually requiring a mandatory ID check anytime you walk the dog or go to the beach... except none of that happened.

The problem is many parents will not do that. Do those children then deserve to be taken advantage of by social media corporations? Generally, things that are harmful and addictive such as alcohol, cigarettes and casinos require age verific

by djaro 4mo ago
Age verification has always existed in the physical world, such as at bars and casinos. I just dont see why the internet should be immune to real world rules we decided upon for good reason.

There is such a thing as general intelligence which differs between different people. Arguing that IQ isn't real because IQ tests are imperfect, is like arguing in the year 1500 that temperature isn't real because all thermometers

But its frequency still rose by over 300x since the start of the chart, which might suggest that for some people it is a basic color term. "English" isn't one monolith. Every English speaker speaks their own version, some clo
