The HDR part is what kills me, if anything HDR seems to compress better than SDR. So it’s not even a bandwidth thing to provide 1080p HDR.
And the 4K upcharge was fine when I could share it with my siblings since it gave us 4 streams at once. Now I only would need 1 stream, so I can’t even get the full benefit of what I would pay for.
What I really hate about shorts is the lack of video controls? Do you really have to remove them, Google? Then there’s the looping videos that are cute when you first see them then get old and add nothing fast.
Does any other culture get so stupidly defensive over their food like Italians? If you paid for it you can put anything dumbass thing you want on your pizza.
This is one of the things that I'm struggling with right now as well. My reddit experience was heavily curated in favor of smaller subreddits, to the almost complete exclusion of top subreddits. The thing is, since Lemmy is so new, it hasn't had the opportunity to build up a diverse array of specialized communities the same way. So basically right now all we have are mainly versions of the "big" Reddit communities, along with ones that decided to emigrate here from Reddit.
But it turns out, content from "big" communities is often the same low-effort, lowest-common denominator stuff regardless which platform is hosting it. Memes, clickbait, and ragebait permeate the top results, because well shucks, that's what people want to see and engage with, apparently.
I'm hopeful that if/when Lemmy continues to grow, that it'll become home to more active specialized communities. In the meanwhile, I've been trying to improve the experience as much as possible by A) trying to subscribe to more communities and B) slamming that block community button like I'm playing Hungry Hungry Hippos.
