YouTube is the only streaming platform I pay for. I don't want to bother with 3rd party apps, and I use it every day. Plus I get YouTube music out of it, so I don't need to pay for Spotify. Overall 7/10 it's fine.

No judgements toward people who don't want to pay though, I get it.

I need a Glassdoor account AND a review of a previous employer to see reviews on the website in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

What are they? I'd love it if people actually embraced using a different platform. Glassdoor makes no sense anymore

Simple solution. Add "make it fun" at the end of the prompt.

Then realize that YouTube was losing billions every year for over a decade, and that their current model is the only way it can be profitable for them 😅

I'm curious, could you elaborate on what this means and what it would accomplish if successful?

What would happen if we put a giant glass tinted dome over each city? (lemdro.id)

In this scenario, we aren't trapped in the dome. There are openings and doors, so we can get out, cycle in fresh air, etc.

Is this a viable ~~solution to~~ way to avoid the effects of climate change? Would it be cooler in the dome? Would there be any negative repercussions? Would clouds form inside the dome? Could it rain in the dome? Would the rain be more toxic than usual because car fumes wouldn't dilute as well? Could outside lightning break the dome if it got struck? Would there be a single point in the dome that the sunlight would be directed to that everyone would just have to avoid, else they just burst into flame?

Sorry but I have so many questions about this. Apparently there was a show about the situation, but all I remember is that it wasn't very good. Hank from Breaking Bad was in it.
