Murica. Dunno if any other country does censor such trivialities too. And to the deeper why: religious hipocrisy i guess.
I hate netfucks & co, but in the case of mindhunter, they were innocent for once. Author just lost interest and canceled it. Nothing they could do about it. But it's a damn shame though.
I dunno how that would be a trustworthy gauge. We talk here and i still don't know the content of that video π
Sure, to each his own, but still....it's lemmy, not reddit. And also this is a linux-post. I wonder how the efficiency of Linux goes with the inefficiency of videos with ads in it. But that's just me, and I'm just annoyed by no client (that i know of) having such simple feature to just ignore video-posts, especially if it's YouTube. Or just links to reddit or even nastier paywalls. Even if i might miss a good discussion or real information in the comments i would never see.
Though, Of course, you're not wrong with all you said.
Oh no, don't get me wrong. Of course Youtube isn't evil/bad per se. It totally has a reason to exist. And of course youtubers make videos. And yes, i simply don't consume YouTube unless i have to.
But, i am not on Youtube here. I am not here to grant someone a buck for a view. I don't want advertisement. And i certainly don't want videos. It personally pisses me off that i so often click on an interesting post here (lemmy in general) just to end up paywalled or in a damn video. That is all. I'd love a simple feature to opt out of posts that just advertise their youtube-video. If I'd want that, I'd go to, well, Youtube π
Not ranting about the existence of this video (it might be awesome, what do i know), but it's just totally misplaced imho.
Like i wouldn't want to browse YouTube to find videos of a picture or a text. Yeah sure it's called "social MEDIA", which includes all media. I'd just love to select what to consume.
Ah thanks for the vivid trip down memory lane. It's sad you have to really search hard to find such pearls nowadays.
You're downvoted to oblivion for being right. Well you could've phrased it nore civil and friendly though π
I miss the Internet of the beginnings. Pure, simple and efficient information. Mostly. I'd argue the downfall slowly started with geocities and the rise of "funny" animated gifs and music in websites.
And it all went bonkers with "web2.0" and sites needing 15 fat libraries and megabytes of visual pleasures to just tell the time...
Amen. So this. I always audibly sigh at this shit. The tiniest piece of information is always wrapped into tons of useless crap and blahblah which could've been a highly informative block of text or a table. As if the net wasn't already full of bloat anyway.
If they'd be super far advanced, they most likely won't be capitalists π
There will always be a "step further we'd love to see but won't". Let's be glad we're in that step which included this photo and the inherent magnificence in it.
It totally beats being one of the earlier humans who just wondered what the lights in the sky might be. Probably gods or something.
It rewards the whole dark triad of personality traits. And it sickens me to the core.
Don't trust every "article" on some shitty website.
Apart of that definition being outdated: Which major CEO isn't? It's more like a basic requirement for the job :-(
