  • YouTube pushes whatever format feels popular to them at the time, like when they started giving absurd weight to shorts.

    Even content creators that pretty much only do long, focussed videos started to hack useless bits of them to put in shorts as an aside, just because the algorithm would make their channel basically invisible without a few of them.

    And then of course YouTube will prioritize those in all feeds, even if you’re watching on a fucking TV app.

    If youtube starts the same kind of shit with vertical streaming, you can be sure they’re going to pop everywhere, no matter how fitting the format is.











  • Which are not, by far, most people. I am not sure why you’re bringing the subject of banks. Of course they’re shitty and mostly run by bastards. Okay.

    But cryptomoney people are not banks, or groups of individuals. They’re individuals. And they’re in it because of the “get rich quick” scheme and push others to get into the pyramid’s lower levels, because that’s how they might get richer. So they’re either bastards or being conned, or probably both.

    Proof of work is a power/hardware catastrophe, and proof of stake is entrusting power to the already rich again. Crypto is not a new economy model, it’s a bad subset of the old one with fancy fake ideals.
