Youtube Rant from a paying customer

I used to use NewPipe back in the days of yore. Then I got Youtube Premium since it bundled in Youtube Music as well which I used. But the former’s app on mobile is a shit show. Even after paying, you are asked to tip random creators, purchase merchandise[ which are shown as actual ads below videos] and join channels to access...

Even after paying, you are asked to tip random creators, purchase merchandise[ which are shown as actual ads below videos] and join channels to access exclusive videos for more money. Basically pay money once, and then pay more money for more content.

You talking about YouTube Premium? I literally never see ads in videos and am never asked to tip creators.I listen to hours and hours of music absolutely ad free. Is this a regional thing? What country are you in?

Varoufakis likes to say what a lot of people like to hear 🤣😉.

mannycalavera ,
@mannycalavera@feddit.uk avatar

Varoufakis likes to position himsetas a sage. Someone that “saw it coming and warned everyone but nobody listened”. He likes to pop back and pretend he had solutions or influence but the world just conspired against him.

I don’t know if he’s wrong on this one. I do know he often sprays a bunch of doomsayer predictions and only reviews the ones he was vaguely in the same ballpark for. He’s the classic embodiment of the Texas Sharpshooter fallacy and, naturally, a lot of people want to believe what he’s pedaling. If he sells a few books or gets paid to give speeches here and there then so be it. After all… he did warn us.

@mannycalavera@feddit.uk avatar

Yeah fair enough. I should say I haven’t read his latest. He’s been almost constantly on the European media circuit with hot takes on anything and everything from economics to science to politics to culture since the Greek economic crisis with the EU.

I used to like him in the beginning but after a while I got the impression he was the guy at the bar with a whisky and cigar in his hand telling the same story to patrons. But, my god, what a story it was!

How likely is Scottish independence from Britain?

As an American, I can see that there’s what appears to be a vocal minority in Scotland pushing for independence, but I genuinely have no understanding of how likely that is to ever actually happen. Is it at least in the realm of possibility, or is it more of a “The South shall rise again” type thing? (No offense intended...

mannycalavera ,
@mannycalavera@feddit.uk avatar

A Labour government is, of course, preferable to the Tories. However they too are a Unionist party and not likely to agree to another referendum from Holyrood.

They’d be better to chip away at the two main cases for Scottish independence: 1) Closer and closer ties to the EU if not rejoining in some form (EEA membership for example) 2) hatred of the English by being more collaborative with Scotland in the running of the UK.

These two things might weaken the case for another referendum.

Pan the movie all you want, but the trailers for The Phantom Menace were outstanding.

mannycalavera ,
@mannycalavera@feddit.uk avatar

Was that ever a thing? Not revealing lightsabers? I certainly don’t remember that and I lived through it.

mannycalavera ,
@mannycalavera@feddit.uk avatar

Oh yeah, I got you. I remember the trailer quite vividly - I used to listen to Duel Of Fates on Winamp (remember that?) with the visualer effect!

But I don’t think it was a mistake at all. It got you excited for the movie because you knew there was a kick ass lightsaber fight in the movie - which there was.

Anyways each to their own. We can at least agree the movie did not live up to the hype of the trailer.

Without wanting to start another SW flame war, I actually think the prequels (as bad as they were) are better than the new age Disney sequels for one massive reason. They were original movies, with original stories, and original characters (ok interpretations of characters 😜). They were at least creative. The new movies, to me, are rehashed committee designed waffle. As wonderful as the cinematography is in them, I am deeply disappointed as to why they didn’t simple film Timothy Zahn’s Heir To Thr Empire and Kevin J Anderson’s Jedi Academy. They could have done that as a trilogy slightly condensed.
