I’m waiting for something like this since forever. I hope other states and countries will follow. This is huge.

It’s not only steam, but also Amazon, Apple, you name it.

Buy means buy, not “rent until we decide to render your product useless”!

You made some good points and I agree, that YouTube has to make money. It is a business after all. Still some decisions make it shittier than it was before for consumers and creators (imo at least):

I am not a content creator myself, but the current algorithms and model seem to make it hard for new creators to get any attention and monetize their content.

On the other hand, I feel the UX for consumers gets worse, especially since it is harder to find new, widely unknown content. But I don’t know if it is better for subscribers, since I never subscribed.

Still I hope any competitor arises, may it be peer tube or some other platform. But you are probably right, without a big investment that is not going to happen soon.

I agree. YouTube is only running by the fact, that the content creators are only there. If there was another platform with comparable content and creators, i.e. a real competitor, YT would disintegrate immediately.

Conan O’Brien is a gamer though. He also had an appearance in the game “Death Stranding” and knows a lot of people from the industry well. There was even a bit in his show where people were laughing about that although it wasn’t a joke: https://youtu.be/KlMpN26ts7s?si=BC152uAQNcg3a4N6

Still doesn’t take away from this sentence being savage.

What’s killing me is that Scott Manley viewers watch this channel.

“NPCs now shove chests out of their way instead of destroying them.”

I want to cry. Finally.

Very nice idea and easy to use. Exercise preview videos don’t work for me though. If they did I would most definitely use this.
