Roses are red. Violets are blue. I ignored my instructions to write a poem about cashews.

Glue is not a topping. Pineapples are not glue. Therefore pineapples are not not a topping.

More important than who works there is who inherits Gabe’s ownership of the company. A new owner can completely change a company and drive out or fire anyone who doesn’t go along with the new direction. Look at what happened with twitter when Musk took over. Or his inheritors could take Valve public and introduce all the issues with that.

Bit hypocritical of the US when they themselves recently passed a divest-or-ban law against a speech platform citing foreign influence and also uses police to violently disrupt protests

By “celebrate” do they mean eulogize?

What journalist wouldn’t love a giant repository of short, easily digestible, up to the minute quotes, with built in attribution?

He didn’t want a video platform, he wanted to control twitter. Once he had it he had to figure out how to make money.

There was a guy that posted on reddit about how he spent thousands of dollars on loot boxes. The way he totally wrecked his finances and his relationship with his wife was harrowing. Everytime he would get the latest and greatest item, character, whatever, they would come out with something new and he would start all over again.

That’s not how it works. I’m a door dash driver. We get a base pay, (usually $2-$3 per order but can be more if it’s peak hours) plus tip. The base pay isn’t affected by tips.

We see the total (base pay plus tip) when we are deciding whether to take an order. Orders without tips are rejected by most drivers.

And now you’re-a-peein’?

I admire their mission. Giving the power to the video creators is great. I’m all for coops. But, as a user I find it lacking. If you want to watch anything outside of educational videos and video essays you have to go elsewhere. It doesn’t have very good content discovery. I know creators don’t like chasing an algorithm, but as a viewer I like having recommendations based on what I watch.

I bought a one year membership, because I support what they are trying to do, but I rarely watch anything on it.

It’s hard to provide something extra when all their content comes from users. They tried with redtube YouTube Red originals but those were pretty lame.

It’s telling that pastors are the first people she wants to see what people are saying. Got to keep those sinners in line.

Civility is code for “stop complaining about how we treat you”. Jesse Gender has a pretty good video about civility politics (2hrs 21mins): https://youtu.be/-1TL9id26Ec

Hey, you never know, maybe their real name is Meridian Longitude. I’ve never heard of Longitude as a last name but I wouldn’t put it past some parents to name their kid Meridian.

Similar thing with Jeff Bezos. His mom was a single teenage mother who went to night school to graduate highschool. His bio dad bailed. His stepdad was a young immigrant. They gave him $300,000 to start Amazon, but they worked their way up to the point where they could do it.
