Copyright should not exist. However, under our current economic system, capitalism, it should exist for a short period of time. Probably about 5-10 years.
I honestly don’t know if I believe any of this. It could be one big distraction, and I think the people in high positions of power are skeptical as well.
I mean I guess? Aside from the calling it’s fine imo. UI was also easier for me to use
I never understood why everyone moved to discord. Regardless of this, it actually just sucks and is hard to use. Discord really gives me hope that the fediverse will succeed, just because the UI sucks so fucking much.
Bro’s in a wheel chair and still vetoed it, damn
Wait, we haven’t already done that?
this happened? >_>
What are you on about?
I don’t think this will do much of anything, except for the graduate loans section. You can educate people on the cost of school all you want, if someone needs to finish school they’ll take on whatever debt they need to.
Best solution is to just make it free. I feel like the investment will just pay for itself when you have more people with degrees able to fill more jobs, bolstering the workforce.
Youtube is waaaay different from pornhub. The amount of people uploading porn doesnt even begin to approach the amount of people uploading sfw content.
You can feasibly make people pay for porn, especially if you get a hot girl to advertise the content to lonely men.
SFW content though? How do you convince someone to pay for a gaming VOD, or some other type of mundane content? Hosting sfw video is just not profitable on the scale that youtube does it. Not without the backing of some SERIOUS money 😬
Yeah, the replicated youtube we’d need to either have a lot of money for hosting or use a decentralized model. The second option isnt even that feasible though.
Honestly, others do have point when they say we are basically leeching off of the platform. I honestly don’t think I’d mind paying for youtube, I currently don’t because it kind of just got ingrained in me that youtube was “free”. I think the ad supported model is fundamentally flawed though.
Platforms will always want to make it worth it for advertisers to work for them. With the huge trove of user data that sites like Youtube, Twitter, Facebook etc. have they will use that to leverage personalized ads that will feed your brain with garbage all day and coax you into buying shit you don’t need or sometimes even falling for scams.
I’d honestly like it better if these sites just straight up charged you right out of the gate. Maybe on top of that we could have sites be interoperable, like the fediverse, so it’s not necessarily what the site offers but how they offer it to you. Making you want to pay for an experience that you truly can’t get anywhere else.
I’m really in support of everything that System76 is doing. Outside of Framework I think they’re one of the more interesting enthusiast projects. I think what makes me particularly excited for Cosmic is that it will be under the GPL3 license, and that it will use GTK.
I use redreader for browsing NSFW subreddits, it’s genuinely a better experience. What a shame.
Yeah, I make my own music. I haven’t put out my album though yet lol
This is not a good comparison. Our bodies are not engineered by anyone, but our software is.
