You better not leave us before he does, Dolly.

Sell public-option banking and cell phone services at post office branches and you’d turn instant profit. Bigger branches could also carry dry grocery goods. There is so much more they could be doing other than trying to out-Bezos the mail.

“I never visited that island with its dated room decor, poor WiFi signal and awful water pressure in the showers after 8am.”

Wow this man aged poorly. Real power of the dark side vibes.

That $7/myth also likely involves 30% platform fee surcharges. If there were more Peertubes and similar federated or community-owned models the fee could lower as more money goes directly to the creators.

If there was an easy solution more people would be doing it already. Just food for thought.

It’s going to take a big cultural shift to get enough people to pay content creators through subscriptions to compete with ad-driven models.

Eventually YouTube’s hubris will cross the line where enough people will just assume the ads are so bad it’s not worth trying to watch a video. As somebody with technical means and no tolerance for ads I’m astonished more people aren’t there yet.

The black screen on the TV could be related to your TV’s HDR settings. Only recent TVs have started to decrease that temporary stutter between SDR/HDR.

It was annoying as hell in ad rolls before I started to pay for YT lite so my kid wouldn’t be advertised to.

No longer paying since they shuttered the YT Kids app on TvOS.

We’re in a nationwide housing shortage. It would be great to attract talent but we won’t be competitive to other countries if all the “affordable” homes near our city centres continue to cost seven figures and come with 1hr plus commutes.

Yeah that sounds promising. If it can make the holiday season it’s a strong lead. Please DM away.
