absolutely zero value to YouTube this is not true. non-paying users will like, comment, share to others making the platform more popular. and if they’re ads were less intrusive they would actually be more likely to be shown.

half of the websites are google-owned
there’s dozens of gaming subreddits already though. like truegaming or something else. i don’t think many existing subreddits will do this. i do think nsfw creators will paywall their posts
however if reddit goes that route i hope OF sues apple/google. I don’t like how some nsfw apps like reddit or x are allowed but others aren’t
bots take resources to serve just like any regular user
how? open ai isn’t funneling views to news sites it ripped from
ads cost money to increase users to eventually profit from them later.
how would a decentralized lemmy profit from the increased users.
Any money spent on ads would be better off hiring more engineering resources and improving lemmy for the next time Reddit does something dumb prompting an exodus.
youtube is more secure than reddit.
it’s hard to offer that much video content for free
Back in the day it was harder, especially supporting IE 11-, but now since there are really only 2-3 rendering engines to develop for it shouldn’t be as hard.
not to my knowledge
we just need another large corporation to save us again
it looks fine to me.
kbin and Lemmy are 3 and 4 for fastest brisket growing servers.
Twitter has gone over much more changes in the past year than reddit.
reddit really isn’t really changing the experience for most people but Twitter is.
also more mastodon users also affects us too since you can interact with Lemmy on mastodon so it benefits the network
what data do are using to support this thesis?
most is done through mobile
https://calckey.social/tags/Reddit has the best ui i’ve seen in the fediverse but it’s for mastodon
good point. one thing to not is revanced supports reddit so you can also block ads that way. and android has a few dns-based blockers.
I’m not sure. I’ve worked at companies using amplitude and hotjar that can record all click event and sessions on web
Still NSFW content will not be accessible
thanks. exactly my point
