I believe I speak for all of us Europeans when I say he can go fuck himself while sucking off Elon’s micropenis.

Thank you for explaining!

Sorry for living under a rock, but what is vim?

Just Vivaldi browser works too. On your phone I recommend grayjay.app

And that, kids, is why you should pirate. Paying customers are restricted and being ripped off. Piracy gives freedom, it pays off, it makes sure you dont have to agree to stupid user agreements which take away you rights. Make sure to support your favorite creators though, through other platforms like Patreon. Don’t take the money away from them. Just take away the power and control away from the evil mega corps like Google and Meta.

Get the RiMusic app. YouTube music without ads.

The awesome algorithm for recommendations on YouTube was turned off to prevent fake news bubbles. This means that when you listen to a song and want YouTube to create a Playlist with similar artists for you, this doesn’t work anymore. But this function does still work with YouTube music.

It has its own like and dislike system, so it’s not cluttered by yt bots.

Sure, that works too, however with grayjay you can follow creaters across platforms. So in case someone’s account gets banned by YouTube due to whatever bullshit reason, you can continue following them on other platforms. Next to that you won’t get spammed with Shorts junk. If you want to download a video to watch it offline, you can actually watch it offline (you don’t require a connection like with YouTube to watch something offline)

They also can use sponsors in the video, but that only works when you have enough views.

You can still watch YouTube without ads using grayjay.app including sponsor block.

Yeah, that may be so, but priorities man. Priorities! Think of our profits man! In this harsh economy, ever ad counts! We’re only controlling 90% of the internet while we strive for 100%. That’s 10% short. 10%! We only had a revenue of 305 billion in 2023 which is not nearly enough to cut down on ads. Billionaire lives matter man! Come on, everybody, say it all together: Make millionaires billionaires again! Billionaires first! Meemaws don’t consume enough anyway. Screw her. By the way, want some penis enlargement pills?

Unpopular opinion? I thought this was a popular opinion.

How many positions on free speech does the kama sutra actually have? Just wondering.

If you read my comment again, you can see I noted that Spotify is in on it. They profit too from these schemes. All those bots listening to 30sec AI songs playlists are running on Spotify premium accounts so Spotify won’t do anything to fight fraud. They take 30%.

I never defended any platform, I only defended the artists. So I guess the confused one is you, my friend.

See this video for more info about these scams and how Spotify is enabling them and protects them.

I thought the same, but it’s at the cost of real artists who are struggling to survive in a harsh market, so it still hurts. Sadly, this man isn’t unique. There are many Spotify listening farms listening to fake artists with AI generated songs just over 30sec which is the minimal listening requirement to get payed. And Spotify does nothing, as they get more money too.

I can appreciate a well performed scheme or crime, but only if it steals from the rich and big corps. In this case, it steals from honest artists who give us amazing music while mostly being under paid on a regular basis, with the exception here and there.

Stealing from the poor is really low. Only the biggest assholes are capable of doing that. (looks at all the billionaires)

YouTube had a very well working algorithm. Because of the echo chamber effect, they turned it off with the goal to prevent the echo chamber effect. Creating an echo chamber platform isolates people even more from reality. At least YouTube is trying to push as much content as possible, how junk it may be, but at least it’s less of an echo chamber then it used to be, and less like Twitter any other weird place where extremists unite. I loved the YouTube algorithm as I was able to find amazing unknown music based on my preferences. But I take it that’s all fucked up now, because it’s better for society. Isolating and alienating people is dangerous. People need to see different perspectives. Otherwise it won’t be different from a cult or dictatorship. One sided information to radicalize. We already have enough nut jobs on this marble, please, let’s continue to confront them with reality and prevent others to follow them otherwise we’re all fucked. Trump has already been president, we’re still stuck with Xi and Putin, India just re-elected a dangerous idiot, Elon keeps getting away with all his lies, schemes and crimes, Netanyahu is free to continue his war crimes, European countries are turning further and further into the extreme right because of fake news and dangerous idiots. All they need is followers and to get that they need a medium to isolate people into their propaganda.

As much as that sounds like fun, the right with their own platform end up in an right wing, conservative, , fake news sound board where people will be subject to propaganda and nothing but propaganda, completely radicalizing anyone on there, instead of confronting them with an alternative sides of the stories. Isolating the nut jobs makes them even more dangerous. Which is exactly what Elon tries to do.

I found the right one for the job.
