That’s not really natural selection though, is it?

Good point. If it’s just some random website though, fuck em.
I suspect the websites that use this system won’t be worth visiting anyway.
Not everyone has sponsorships though.
Oh man, I bet that was a proud moment.
Twenty dollars for an out of production toy still in the box isn’t exactly asking for the moon.
People get so insufferably smug about this. Also, completely ignore the YouTube music bit, and just talk about how to block ads.
Because the content creators get no muhnee.
Why? I use YouTube music all the time, it’s great.
Why do we want to tell Redditors about this place?
There’s a lot of idiots in the world.
Why is it awful?
but I could care less.
So, you do care? Because there needs to be some level of caring present for you to be able to care less.
The difference to YouTube is that it’s not intended to create a huge platform centralizing videos from the whole world on a single server farm (which is horribly expensive).
From their website. It’s a very different system, and also not funded by advertisers, which means someone else has to pay the bills.
Convincing content creators to upload their videos to multiple platforms will be easy, as will uploading their old work
You just end up with a chicken and egg situation with viewers and creators.
They explicitly say in their description they’re not a replacement for YouTube.
That’s definitely a good point, although I suspect a lot of content creators will do posting their work in multiple places.
The raw numbers are sweet FA though.
The total number of users across all Lemmy instances is about half a million, from memory? There was a post about it not so long ago. A quick google’s search shows Reddit has 55 million daily active users.
It’s fuck all, at least for now.
Killing a third of the population is a pretty good way to speed up the process, I guess.
