No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Damn paying $15 for a service that is almost the sole source of my daily entertainment, crazy
It's not difficult. I like thing. I pay for thing so thing sticks around.
Why pay anything when you can literally get it free lol
Why wouldn't I pay for something that I enjoy? I am fully aware of the cost of adblock and piracy, and I've decided that if I'm going to use adblock, then I'm going to pay for services I legitimately enjoy. I don't bother with one-off services or things I rarely use, but I'm perfectly fine paying for things. I'm not hurting for cash.
Making enough money to live and also expecting everything for free is just greed.
Google makes more than enough to live, yet they demand more and you give it to them? How is that not greed.
If I'm blocking ads and not paying for premium, the channels I watch make absolutely nothing on my view. It doesn't sit right with me to consume content without giving anything in return. Paying for premium, which distributes half of what I pay to the creators I watch, fulfills that well enough that I'm fine paying for it. YouTube Music is just a bonus.
You watching it for free is not only taking money from Google but taking money from the channels you watch. Do whatever you want, I don't care, but at least understand the consequences of your actions. I for one don't like the idea of doing it, myself.
Their income isn't my problem
Not your problem, but you're directly responsible for making sure they get less of it
👍
I'd rather be greedy than give my money to the likes of Google, Spotify, etc. I'm not hurting for cash either, I just like shit for free. But hey as long as we have goody two shoes like you us pirates can continue getting what we want for free so keep it up!
I'm not paying to give money to Google, I'm paying for no ads on any devices (including my NVIDIA Shield) and more importantly half of the fee goes to the creators I watch.
I'm perfectly happy stealing from billion dollar corporations.
I'm not happy stealing from small businesses.
