New York has a similar thing about to take effect, as well.

Someone just made this up so that they could get it away from their kid, didn’t they?
I jest, but that would be funny.
For sure! I happened to come across it by accident while watching the first version.
She has a “version 2” as well! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLFbZlYWaKc
Not just this, it’s AH. Not… terrible, but super hype-y from what I’ve seen.
Well. Damn. This helped me out, thanks.
This is actually an incredibly good point. This applies to writing, visual arts, music, programming…
The bulk of heavy users are on third party apps, most likely.
“Taking over” is the wrong tense and the wrong interpretation. With very few exceptions, charter schools have been a Christian nationalist ploy nearly from the beginning.
To some extent, Reddit does get a slice - in the form of user engagement. User engagement is how they generate ad impressions, even if it’s not from the users on the third party apps.
They COULD have simply put ads into the API, or made it a requirement. They didn’t.
Their entire goal is to maximize “value” before their IPO. Control and number inflation. They don’t care about the long term. Spez wants to cash out, and he doesn’t care what it costs the company.
Even worse, their official app uses the same API – and, by estimates, the Reddit app uses more calls than Apollo does.
They wanted more per user than they will ever make. A multiple of that, in fact.
Knowing what I know about the costs of streaming video, I really want to know what the alternative is for a platform that can’t just throw money down the drain. To my mind, there are only two options here - people watch ads (within reason, but 2 hour ads aren’t resonable), or people pay YouTube (a la Premium).
If you want things for free, the only way to make that happen sustainably is ads right now. Donations simply will not work, especially for something with the costs that video incurs - to say nothing about being able to compensate creators for their time and effort.
Yeah, I’ve tried those out before. It tends to make the game feel weird, if that makes sense? Like, everything is still expecting time to progress.
Really, I want a game like Stardew, but without the hard timeline baked in from the start.
Yep. I love planting things, harvesting them… I want Stardew Valley without the time management stuff.
Same – I changed jobs since lockdown started, I work for a company now that was 100% remote before all this started. I’ve actually moved halfway across the country and… yeah, other than now I pay state income tax, nothing has changed for me. I have an office, that’s technically a change, I guess.
