While I mostly agree with you, I do think there are problematic things in this article that make Linus come off as disingenuous at best, especially seeing that he played the "I have 0 idea what I did wrong, I want to sue you but i wont" card.

As for the reciepts for lack of citations, while I think it's obvious that Steve is asking for citations and he shouldn't have to ask, it's always best to make your request explicit. It breeds animosity to have expectations and not state or ask them clearly. I could absolutely see someone being naive in these exchanges and thinking that Steve was reaching out not to get a citation but to fix future mistakes.

The worst thing about this bullshit though is the lmg clips video title. It's a serious allegation that Linus allegedly wants to resolve, but they cover it in cringe memery. And I say this as someone who watches LTT and not GN.

I think if Linus had just called out Steve's beef and publicly requested some forum to speak privately or publicly and sort out differences, that'd be one thing. But with the lmg clip title and the "want to sue, but I won't" bs, it all just seems kinda gross. I know that Linus may not be personally responsible for that, but the company uses his name, and he started it.

Americorps and the peace corp are a thing, but I'll admit, I'm not sure how much of a thing?

Likewise, I think 2 years of public service or military should be compulsory. The truth is we do need a defense force given the world, but it'd also be nice to have americorps or something expanded to fit the service option. Make military service more enticing than the other, I don't care, but provide room and board, and a spending allowance at the very least for both.

That movie was successful in making my eyes leak in the theater. It's on prime video now.

I should take some time and find another redirect for http://notreddit.com

Well, obviously, someone should have asked Veranda if she was OK with that.

Libertarian nationalist? Isn't that mutually exclusive?

I agree with a lot of what you've said in the nested chain, but Trump didn't have power over the fed, and macroeconomics are typically not something a president has sway over. So if you're mearly saying the economy was better under Trump, and Biden had shit luck inheriting something that was bound to turn ugly as the economy of Covid caught up to us, sure, ok, but the way you worded it is ambiguous at best.

It's a shame so many people are unable to see that the world is hurting economically from covid still. That food prices and inflation are a global issue. That it's silly to pin that blame on a single individual. That so far America seems to be weathering the storm better than other prolific countries. That other than the black mark of Isreal and Palestine that overshadows his entire presidency, he's done a lot of good domestically.

Oh well. :/

That comments section is such a dumpster fire of what I hope are bots and not actual human beings... Because damn, otherwise, Giant Meteor 2024

I understand your first point, that its frustrating for something thats always been free with limited to no ads to change its model.

The thing I want to know though is, YouTube costs a shit ton in terms of infrastructure and development hours, do you have a suggestion on how they can host the public and private content they host and deliver hundreds of petabytes a day while turning a profit? Do you stop user uploads, delete channels that have been inactive for a decade, delete private videos of non-subscribers?

Inb4 well they shouldnt exist because thats not how they formed tired argument ive seen, then my question is, ok so lets say we're thinking up a YouTube replacement. How do we model it so the company makes money, people arent the product, i can upload what I want, watch it for free without ads, people who draw others to the platform make money too, ect... What gets cut?

Edit: Because I don't have a suggestion and I dont think its possible to get anything like the old YouTube we all loved without making major consessions, otherwise I think we'd have more than a handful of compeitors.
