  • "I would love to live here"photo looks like a typical suburb - with a population density that is at a level where everyone still needs to own a car. I’m thinking European cities like Bern. Most people don’t need one to get to work but basically every household still needs one for non-work use.

    Car-free population density should be more like minor Japanese cities (like Kanazawa, etc), or old towns in Europe (downtown Bordeaux).



  • You are correct. YouTube is tricky for several reasons, and hard to prosecute because the true monopoly is discovery (because everyone uses it).

    Content can be consumed anywhere, you can follow some niche creator on Patreon, but YouTube is realistically the only place you’ll discover them.

    YouTube chooses to demonetize and outright ban perfectly legal and normal content that happens to disagree with their politics. On it’s face this is okay, they’re a private company after all, but the insidious thing is that entire subjects may as will not exist for you know because YouTube bans them.





  • As a privately held business, we have no clue. Only the directors of the company and the board truly know what impact was made, and even then I would not be typing this on this app were it not for Reddit’s behaviors. The effect may not even be immediate - it’s now clear to many many people what value lies in developing an alternative that’s for everyone instead of something niche for those right wing groups censored/banned by Reddit.
