Never underestimate American idiocy

"1,000,000 men out of employment"

Certainly showing it's age there. You'd never see unemployment statistics announced that way today. Not even sure if this is because of how "men" used to be used to refer to people in a more general way, or because women didn't make up a significant portion of the workforce (or because they didn't care about that demographic...)

"Net loss of gold in exports" too... Usually we see GDP used for that kind of statistic now

Why is this comment getting downvoted, while Fingolfinz is getting upvoted in the same thread for saying the same thing..?

Yeah, and the platform is set up in a way that hinders onboarding and discoverability of what's there (at least, compared to youtube's approach..). These are all problems that prevent it from replacing YouTube. If you read Peertube's official site they even say upfront that they're not trying to be a YouTube replacement

[–] AnjunaSouls@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Yep, that's intentional. They stopped prioritizing user experience and started prioritizing ad revenue instead a while ago

Yeah this is the kicker for me and for most others. It won't ever replace youtube until it can implement similar discoverability features and improve the onboarding process. Youtube is run by the shitlords, yes, but it's also a service that has no equal, literally has no peers. Until it does, it will remain uncontested and they'll be able to get away with whatever policy changes please them (and their dictator-in-chief. And their shareholders)

I would appreciate it if we could get rid of this dumbass. ^

We need a good federated youtube replacement so badly...

I would be a lot more willing to accept the inflation argument if salaries at these companies were going up at inflation rates too.

Not unless you're an executive, that is...

Pretty sure tariffs are part of the reason for the $80/90 price points

Fr. It'd be a forgettable bit of marketing, a tech demo no one really cares about if they'd included it free. With the price tag it turns from that into an anti consumer insult, a slap to the face to anyone who thinks they're in this for any reason other than extracting as much money out of their consumers as they can get away with
