Only one episode out so far so hard to tell, but a moment from the book that I had been excited about ended up being done in a very anticlimactic manner with it lacking same emotional impact.

Newpipe and its forks for the win.

I usually use freetube but few times I’ve used firefox never had an issue. I don’t use a YouTube account, so might be why I never encountered problems.

I see YouTube style as the ones that are formulic with the plea to like and subscribe segue to sponsor and the obviously algorithm driven increased lengthen followed by the same tired robotic plea for interaction which is pretty much every big YouTube channel or wannabe big channel.

Doesn’t help that search pushes up those type of channels and shoves smaller channels just uploading content just to share something.

I’m pretty lucky not liking most YouTube style content these days, so don’t consume too much of it like I used to. Lot of the creators feel like AI with the same phrase of if you are new to the channel like and subscribe and ring the notification bell…blah blah blah. And then drag out info that can be said in a minute into a 10 minute long ramble for the algorithm.

YouTube these days is more for music or checking out a part of a game I’m stuck on these days from a creator with like 1 sub putting up a 10 second long clip that gets straight to the point. Those guys are the heroes over the 5+ minute long uploads of the same content in comparison that has you have to dig into the comments to find where to skip to.

Been a long wait. Excited for this season.

I didn’t know I was the only one that didn’t like it.

What does don’t listen to them mean.

Yeah first couple seasons felt like there were actual stakes, but longer series went on more it became apparent that the writers weren’t going to kill off certain characters and come up with reasons to have then avoid doing so. Last season was really bad in that department with the final episode.

Even if you disagree it doesn’t make only your opinion the correct one. It’s opinions after all.

Turned into a sitcom with how they kept coming up with excuses to not kill off key characters each season. Only thing keeping it from seeming generic was the gore to make it seem more “mature and edgy”.

I was playing the demo over and over before I finally got the full game this year.

Social media that requires an account to view stuff aren’t worth even visiting.

Please don’t Westworld it.

If it does return hope they don’t Westworld it.

YouTube is unwatchable for me without sponsorblock so I’ve liked the newpipe forks that include. And on desktop I love freetube because it goes further and lets me block channels.

Space seems overblown when Samsung ultras fit in an entire spen that takes up way more space, and most phones do not have a stylus that can be stored internally. So I don’t buy the excuse of space. Always has seemed like more a company excuse to sell accessories.

Easier than trying to keep track of all the different streaming services that keep popping up and managing payments for each to make sure you aren’t paying for what isn’t being used that month. It’s become too much.

Yeah, same goes for Apple and Google. People just look at cuts, but these companies do pay their employees well and the cut they take may be a large part of it, and they branch out to other things like Apple with Vision Pro, or Google and their many failed projects like Stadia. Companies that run on razor thin margins can lead to Amazon or Walmart working conditions. The treatment of devs is more the publisher issue with the company not taking care of their own employees.

Could cuts be better for creators? Yes. But, just fixating on cuts is a very simplified metric, and even Epic has shown themselves their inability to dedicate resources operating on the cut they are now that is losing them money and still years later struggling to be nothing more a worse fanatical or humble bundle with a launcher. Which tends to lean towards if you want to offer low cuts being a more simple key reseller storefront is more realistic than trying to maintain an ecosystem off of it and profit, since making a feature rich launcher is turning out to be much harder than thought.
