As someone who is currently monetized with 5000 watch hours in the past year, I’m super mixed on this. On the one hand, I’m only making like 30 bucks per month, basically nothing, so I can see how YouTube would want to reduce overhead. On the other hand, that $30 bucks per month is a nice little bonus. I’d still be creating without it, but it is nice to have, and, YouTube already doesn’t pay out until you hit $100, so that oughtta reduce most of the overhead. It seems like it’d be a better solution to just raise that to a $200 minimum or something. You’re probably right, it might just be greed.

Putting ads on these creator’s videos AND not paying creators is wild though, no matter how small the channel is.

Side note: Am I at risk of becoming un-monetized?? I know it’s possible.

Side note the second: I host my own instance of PeerTube for my videos - joeltube.com

I don’t think you can complain about ads in the same sentence as you say stuff isn’t worth paying for.

Ahh, gotcha, yeah. That’ll definitely happen. Idk if I’ll bother looking for the leaks though, I’ll probably just watch it when R* releases it so I can view it in HD and whatnot.

Animal!

I thought that was clear from the title…

It’s a social network based around exercise. You can share your runs and whatnot.

6 hours is not a long time anywhere. If they told me GTA6 was coming out on PC 6 hours after the console release, I’d be stoked. Honestly, 6 hours of exclusivity is whatever. I’m actually buying a console for GTA6, that’s how excited I am, and I could not care less.

Yeah, Walmart is the last stop after Costco and Winco for us. We usually grab like 5 things.

I mean, to each their own, but I’ve had no issues with it.

I think that’s an overly cynical take tbh, and inaccurate to some extent. Not all online videos are bad and fake. I’m bias, as I create videos myself, but I mention that because the stuff I make is real. If I weren’t filming I’d be doing very similar stuff anyways. YouTube is at it’s best when you’re watching a relatively niche piece of someone’s life that they’re passionate about, it isn’t all fake reality bullshit. Additionally, I’ll mention that people have shown that they want entertainment whether it be a TV show, movie, or an independent creator on YouTube, and that stuff does have real value to people. It, by definition, isn’t worthless, as people will pay for it. Of course, I wish people held those they watch online to a higher standard.

Couldn’t make it to the eleventh word of my comment, eh?

Are you new to open source software? Original devs make a mistake or leave or something, and someone forks it. It isn’t that uncommon.

Use Morphe now, it’s a fork of ReVanced. It’s great. You need to get the patcher from their website, and patch the YouTube app yourself. They make it pretty easy.

It’s just a way to watch YouTube

It still boggles my mind, in a world where so many list after the “real-ness” that has been brought to us by individual content creators that so many still follow these people that are just doing it for the money, clout, etc. Sure, creators need to make a living, but why bother following the types of people that would think attending an AI luxury trip (whatever that is, I cannot be arsed to find out) is a good idea?

That isn’t what this is about, unless you’re implying Sponsor Block support, as this lawsuit is related to creator-inserted ads.

Also, use Morphe now.

I think you’re just intentionally misunderstanding the title. I was able to infer that it was talking about consumer PCs.

Curious, why didn’t you like him? I live on the complete opposite side of the country, so I’m pretty far removed, but everything I’ve heard about him has been positive.

Yes, it’s a different Android based OS. It’s privacy focused, hence having this feature, and only supports Google Pixel devices.

Android is just a version of Linux, so anyone can make a fork of it. Most Android device manufacturers do this, including your device having Samsung’s rendition of Android and my OnePlus having OxygenOS (soon to be ColorOS), but anyone can do the same if they’d like. LineageOS is another super cool Android project.

This is a GrapheneOS feature.

This whole comment screams projection to me. Having a retirement fund is fairly normal, even if you aren’t making the most money in the world.
