Nice!

I’m also a sim racer and mainly use iRacing. I also manage a site that posts schedules and setups for the (low participation) Kamel GT series on iRacing.

You may have misinterpreted what I said; I probably wasn’t clear enough.

If NSFW content isn’t available through a 3rd party app, I’m assuming that usage will fall (as the user looks elsewhere), hence less overall API requests.

I’m not trying to say that because the API responses won’t contain as many NSFW posts, it’ll save data or anything (still sending a full “page” of responses at a time).

Your point still stands however! If the user leaves the 3rd party app and goes straight to the 1st party app instead, yeah it’s a wash and they are serving the requests anyway.

The point of this is to:

• Reduce the number of API requests from whatever 3rd party apps are left; this reduces server load and costs.
• Coerce users into trying the 1st party app and tolerating it so they can watch NSFW content. This may cause some users to abandon the 3rd party app and just settle for the 1st party app.

I doubt it has much to do with advertising.

If you’d like to learn about multi rotors (quads/drones/etc) or even fixed-wing stuff, I’d suggest checking out the following on YouTube:

• Joshua Bardwell
• Painless360

I just got back into the aircraft side of the hobby after being gone for a decade and these two channels were able to get me back up to speed. They both have really great reviews/tutorials/in-depth technical videos.

Hey this sounds like me!

I just built a Strix Nano Goblin FPV fixed wing with Arduplane and a flight controller. I’m looking to get a sub-250g FPV quad for the backyard/neighborhood and my kid and I recently built a 1/10 Tamiya TT02! We also have a TRX4m that is a load of fun.

Damn, this sounds like me… I wonder if I have some ADHD/hyper fixation stuff.

I’ll have to check that out. I’ve been using Space Sniffer. I like how it updates in realtime.

This sums it up perfectly for me too.

I tune whenever I start getting failures

Only if it’s a specialty filament or something tricky; like Proto-Pasta can be. If I’m just running another spool of Hatchbox or Overture I just use my generic PLA profile and send it.
