YouTube can burn.

They generate more money than whole countries and you want to give them more? I don’t have to pay them shit for them to make money off of me from my browsing history alone.

I would rather speed forward the enshittification to the point that all creators decide to strike and hop over collectively to another, kinder, video hosting site.

In the meantime Google benefits from my viewing data/history and sells that over and over. They’re making money hand over fist and then when you pay them for a “premium” experience you’re just handing them more. You’re already a cash cow for them with just using the site. Screw that noise.

Give directly to the creator.

The string above this pointed out that the greyhound bus is more expensive than the delta flight from the same start to finish.

I’m not saying the price increase isn’t bullshit or acceptable, but you are already paying more for the greyhound for slower travel.

Maybe the convenience of speed as well? A plane will get you coast to coast in just hours vs a bus or train.

I think it’s more the psychology of the nofap group themselves that’s hurtful. I’ve seen many/most discussions that are fine, but others are just wildly toxic with a cult-like “discipline”.

You’re either with us or against us.

Us vs. the system/females/people in power.

You’re better than others. Or, if you trip up, you’re garbage.

There’s no in-between and no room for mistakes.

That’s not good for you in the long run and it’ll hurt more than it helps.

You don’t eat your toothbrush or floss right? I think that’s what the above poster was getting at.

You shouldn’t eat a toothpick, either.

This swings both ways. Public information such as voting records, for example, were used to coerce, intimidate, and physically hurt innocent people in the past. I think it takes a mature culture/society to use public information responsibly and I don’t think we are there yet.

Then again, a ton of awful stuff happens in private already, so there needs to be a balance of some kind.

It’s the same thing every season. Cold, flu, RSV, mycoplasma, hundreds of other viruses and bacteria, now COVID all go up when people congregate. We’ve known this since grade school.

Why the news is being sensationalist, who really knows? /s

You boofers are a funny bunch.

I just pour it all into my mouth directly. Cereal and milk. No dishes. No shame.

My grandma called it the doodely-woodely music.

I have had a long day and I’m reading this too seriously.

Why would the first guy say he’s still gay after being voted off? Wouldn’t he just admit he’s the straight one and everyone else splits the prize?

That’s pricey.

“Free Open Source Software”

I think.

Sync is the odd man out because even though it’s free to use, it’s ad driven, and then there’s a yearly subscription service for no ads.

Honestly, it’s a good app with a good developer. If supporting good work is your thing, I see no reason to use it free or with subscription. It supports him, and if you don’t like it…you always have FOSS apps which arent as polished but completely free.

FOSS apps are important because they’ll always be the standard of “acceptable” and alternative apps MUST be better if they want you to give up your hard earned time and money for it.

Just take a look at Reddit.

Anybody else hearing the words in that screechy voice?

Maybe the devs want Reddit to implode.

Randomly have green lights on my commute so I don’t have to slow down goddamnit.

Exactly, you can’t control when it happens. So hello spawning thousands of bills at the local swimming pool.

Bigger plot twist it applies too well and you use it once and go to jail.
