well I’m testing like 5 6 apps for lemmy rn. I’ll settle with one maybe after a year or two when everything settles down. rn I’ll say sync ui is fluid and rich but still incomplete. infinity felt better than reddit client which I’ll completely agree with you.
Tumblr, too, once upon a time. Started out as a side project built by a guy and a programmer from his company he paid to help him. He hated social media sites like Facebook and wanted to build a social media site that he would enjoy using. Someplace where he could post his photos and follow people he liked so he could see their content, and that was it.
I dunno if I’d call it a massive corporation now. Data grabbing? Most likely, it’s got ads at the very least, so it’s got ad metrics. But it’s owned by the same people who own WordPress now.
Honestly, the best part of modern Tumblr is that the creator sold it to Yahoo for just over $1 billion, and then Verizon sold it for less than $3 million 6 years later. They tried to monetize it, royally screwed themselves in the process, and ended up selling it for less than .3% of what Yahoo bought it for in the first place.
The original owner took his money from the sale, disappeared from public life, and only pops up occasionally when he makes a donation to some charity or another. All while Verizon gave themselves hemorrhoids trying to make it into another data-grabbing social media blackhole like Twitter X or Facebook.
I don’t understand the hate for charging for a product. I pay for a Mastodon client. If a Lemmy client that I really liked cost money and I felt the price was reasonable, I’d support that developer, too.
Don’t be ashamed, to be fair is our fault maintaining a tourism model that attracts this kind of people regardless of their country of origin, instead of respectful and nice people like you
Yeah that’s true I guess. Happens a lot in other countries too. Unlimited drinking for x consecutive nights for xx euro’s, that’s just asking for trouble.
Indeed. Our dependence in this kind of tourism also generates a low productivity economy with an underpaid and seasonal labor market, which leads to a lot of social problems. It’s really quite sad to be the “fiesta” country. I hope we are increasingly aware that this model is unsustainable and make a much needed change. Thanks for you kindness.
I use YouTube the most of all streaming services. Yet I don’t understand why there isn’t an affordable easy to use option, that includes no ads and a high CPM for creators.
My understanding is YouTube premium, doesn’t highten the payout to creators, but rather just substitutes the dirt poor ad revenue per impression.
It actually does get higher revenue for content creators for the majority of your creators. Average per view is something like 5-10x vs non premium views.
It’s based around your watch time and something like 50%? of your subscription split across the channels you watch.
