Don’t be absurd. Of course they only use it because of the network effect. If that’s where their fans/customers are, then that’s where they will communicate. You think they wouldn’t communicate on mastodon if they had 3 billion users because they wouldn’t be able to scrape data?

If some of the downvoters would care to explain their opinion on why they downvoted this post, that’d be great. I personally don’t care for AI news, but if someone wants to build a c/ around it, I don’t have a problem with that.

This is such a cool woman

I’d pay for youtube if I wouldn’t also be exposed to tracking, however I much prefer supporting creators directly. IMO the platform should be paid-only and have a revenue-share system akin to Nebula. Fuck ads.

This is like when we Danes tell jokes about Swedes and Norwegians, I assume.

Like this: How many Norwegians to change a light bulb in the ceiling?

Explicit sponsorship inside a video is considered to be one of a few good solution to the issue of content creators being naturally subjected to death by starvation.

It’s better on the issue of tracking, but if one is just an opponent of ads in general, there is no difference.

I would rather pay someone than watch ads (which I do if I watch their content regularly). I subscribe to Nebula, where a lot of the creators I watch post their videos. I also support some through Patreon. I wish there was a way to pay for just a single video, since some creators only occasionally produce videos I want to watch.

Ads promote overconsumption, and I don’t think anyone should be forced to see them, unless they want to. Also, the sponsors are always the same 10 shitty companies (Betterhelp, Raid Shadow Legends, NordVPN…). I don’t care for these companies, so why should I be forced to watch ads for them?

When you haven’t de-calcified the showerhead in years.

Also FYI all your english comments here are posted with language set to dansk so I couldn’t find it even though I got the notifications (seems lemmy does not really tell you you are trying to visit a comment in language you don’t have enabled in settings).

Thanks for pointing it out. I mostly use feddit.dk so it’s just a habit. I’ve corrected the language of the comments.

Really? I wasn’t aware. It doesn’t matter for me though since I use MacOS.

Built in todds-support, and of course it’s open-source unlike rimpy. It’s also available for other platforms than windows.

Mods for the game may conflict if not loaded in the proper order. This modmanager can auto-sort based on information directly specified by the authors as well as from a community database that is likewise open-source. In this db people can submit their own findings on what order mods should be loaded in, and Rimsort can interpret this db while the vanilla mog manager can not. It is also a good bonus to be able to change your modlist before launching the game, as that can take a while with large modlists.
