Might not be the most popular answer on this platform but it is the most seamless and easy for me. The integration between chrome and android is really nice.
Not that other options are difficult but the only reason I can see to migrate is ideological which is completely fair. I would probably do it if I was younger and had more time and effort to deal with it.
Intel marketing seems to be going all in on using generic names to trick people into buying lower end parts. They changed the marketing of Celeron/Pentium to the most generic “Intel processor” line up. Now when you specify to make sure you buy an “ultra” chip it’s easy for the layman to buy the lowest end chip out of ignorance.
Unfortunately I don’t know of any other platform that would pay creators like YouTube does which is half the reason the YouTube keeps creators.
I hate the crypto bros as much as but I wonder if there is a way to set up a federated video sharing network that has a $5 monthly fee and distribute it over the creators you watcher over the month.
My understanding is that as rates have gone way down the last couple of years and it wouldn’t surprise me if Google just has less high quality ads and is dipping into the crappy cheaper ad buys to fill the space.
This is why I think email analogy is very useful to get the basics of how Lemmy/kbin work on a technical level but falls flat on a practical and social level
You have what I would call federation idealists that feel that is should be just like email you should be able to contact anyone. This ignores the fact that email is private communication tool vs a public facing forum.
The argument that instances should be utilities with no “politics” or “culture” just ignores the reality.
