rchive , to technology in Youtube's Anti-adblock is illegal in the EU

I think what they were saying is that the law specifically makes exceptions for things that are necessary. Others are saying ads are not necessary per the law’s definition, but that’s a separate issue.

Why wouldn’t the hacker just be liable instead?

I think it’s awesome that some people would create awesome things just for the love of creation and of sharing it with other people. However, I think we all know that the vast majority of current creators would not create if they couldn’t make money from it anymore. Do we really want that world?

That’s all a bit separate from the YouTube ads conversation, more about money in entertainment more broadly.

When you say YouTube crested a monopoly, what do you mean? There are tons of video hosting and streaming websites. Basically all social media platforms have video now, as well.

PeerTube needs a better way to monetize videos, I think. I know the Fediverse and FOSS community is generally against paying for things like content, but the fact is that most content creators aren’t gonna create for free.

What do you mean? Google has a bunch of competitors.

Are you arguing people should only try to be correct when it benefits a poor person? When being correct benefits a rich person we should just lie about the truth?

I mean, no matter what, you do have a say. You can just not use YouTube. Pretty easy, actually.

They’d argue that you going to their page which you know is sustained by ads is consent enough to check whether you’re using ad block. It’s an implicit thing, like how when you go to a restaurant you’re implying that you’re going to pay the bill afterward. You can’t eat and then leave saying, “well technically I never explicitly agreed to pay for this meal, it’s your fault for not asking before serving me.”

rchive , to technology in The FCC is Expected to Propose the Return of Net Neutrality Protections Oct 19th

What would you all say if I started an ISP that offered $3 a month for service only to a handful of websites? That would be prohibited under Net Neutrality, yet I could see something like that being useful to plenty of people, like my grandparents who use the Internet only to send emails and check their local news.

This is a better idea than Net Neutrality. Stop begging government to fix things for you when you and your neighbors can just fix it yourself.

rchive , to piracy in Disney is gouging customers with a near doubling of subscription costs.

Just canceling and not watching things is also an option. There’s so much stuff out there to do, you’ll probably never get bored.

rchive , to workreform in Employees threatened with loss of healthcare if they strike. Their employer is a hospital and they're nurses.

Healthcare can stay private as far as I’m concerned, but it certainly shouldn’t be provided by the employer. Just give me more cash and let me buy my own.

This extra passenger density would make it cheaper per person, right? More fuel efficient, too.

rchive , to technology in Twitch has stories now, because all social media has to be the same

Maybe. I just assumed people on Lemmy would be familiar with Lemmy when I’m not sure they’d be familiar with Mastodon. But, yeah, maybe they are.
