Private torrent content escapes naturally because it’s often shared on other P2P tools in use by the peers.

What makes you think Signal is maintaining relationship maps, and secondly, even if it is, is there any evidence they’re included in LEO subpoenas?
YT will likely attempt to play creators and viewers off one another. Similar to how hospitality does so with patrons and staff re: tips. You could see a FUD campaign aimed at anyone republishing their work on competitor sites.

A good example of this scam that sticks out to me is plastics recycling. The marketed goal is a circular, sustainableTM plastic economy. The real goals are uninterrupted plastics manufacturing and the maintenance of tax receipts from plastic goods consumption. Industry and government simply do not want less plastic in the world.
Is it really misuse if the mechanism was designed to be misused?
I haven’t logged in for nearly three years. Has TI been overhauled again?
Characters like him are targeted because they are both successful and anti establishment
Not silly at all. It’s a ship of Theseus situation, and the ship has helmsmen with bad attitudes. Bad attitudes engender bad decisionmaking.
2035 2028: Browser content is piped to a local AI that filters junk and noise then feeds the result back into the browser for screen display
I don’t understand when these companies are going to learn that sharing their IP is going to get them more money than being so fractured.
The risk equation makes sense. The potential gain from outlasting your competition and absorbing their subscriber bases to become a near-monopoly is higher than participating in a royalty scheme, and the downside is borne by shareholders and to a lesser extent creditors (the Other People’s Money principle).
All problems are user’s own. Yes enshittification sucks. You’re free to disconnect as much as you can.
Wrong attitude. Only atomization and further exploitation lies that way. The solution is to get vocal and demand higher standards.
Always cut out the intermediaries.
(I’m glad this story was published. We may roll our eyes, but it’s a contribution toward raising normie’s consciousness, which is welcome.)
Users: Do you realize what Windows is subjecting us to? MS board of directors: Windows? We don’t even use PCs
I remember omitting a hardware decoding line from mpv.conf. But I’m still getting the issue occasionally (even though playback in most cases now is fine).
So get this: I tested a live USB, and initially any video playback caused the crash, then 4k video in VLC played fine, including manual seek, but 1080p material first killed screen output then triggered the reboot. Fucking nuts. Too much window resizing also triggered it. But it gets weirder. After half a dozen restarts and auto-checkdisks, I currently haven’t encountered the bug at all on my main partition.
AI as insulation from true accountability and responsiveness. I think we’re starting to see a pattern with its use.
You make good points, but I still think what I envision would be able to attract enough people interested in specific hobbies, without achieving anywhere near Youtube’s scale. I’m thinking of a scenario where the video platform is more an extension of a web community, such an an old-school forum, rather than a straight video host where the primary aim is to gain any engagement whatsoever, and where (let’s face it) all engagement is generally fungible. It’d be something member-funded and run, like good torrent trackers, and the content is an interest ‘ecosystem’ - so not only fishing content, but fishing gear coverage, and camping and hiking stuff, and meat prep and storage, and boating, etc.
This couldn’t be any worse for either creator or viewer than what YT subjects them to. There would be no having to optimize for an opaque algorithm. The pressure to self-censor would be greatly relieved. Monetization scope and content guidelines would be accountably managed - ie. by the community itself. Creators would still have their Patreon/Liberapay/etc income streams. The platform can place the odd banner ad too, like 4chan.
I wonder how much convenience and (perceived) income security is a passionate creator prepared to sacrifice in order to start exercising power over Youtube by uploading elsewhere? We all know creators hate the place…
Australia tried this in the early noughties I believe - running a non-public URL blacklist. After some parliamentary accountability and commmitees got it cracked open, they found that about 10% of the sites met the definition for inclusion, with the remainder being a grab-bag of things various politicians and bureaucrats didn’t like.
