Tell me how much did he spend on Xitter again? Are you sure you know who we‘re dealing with?

My assumption is that they identified an area ready for harvest

I admire your ability to just believe. I really do.

I recall Nintendo claiming they wanted to move away from mobile again a while ago but I didn‘t really believe it back then and I‘m still skeptical now. They‘ve received more criticism for their predatory mobile games lately so maybe that got something to do with it or it‘s simply not making enough money anymore to bother with it and they‘d rather get the devs working on something else.

You‘re part of the problem then. It only got so shitty in the first place so they could trap people in the Premium subscription that will get increasingly more expensive and less useful.

That‘s where Youtube Premium comes into play for many fools who don‘t really know about adblockers. Google‘s goal isn‘t to destroy the website, but to turn it into a much more profitable Netflix subscription based on user generated content. Sadly the enshittification of the biggest video platform will continue because enough people are willing to pay a lot for it. The site will not improve until there are mainstream alternatives that actually take revenue off Youtube.

Unfortunately your information seems a little outdated. It’s true that Germany did try it for a moment until Microsoft showed up with suitcases of money in the chancellor office so to speak and he announced to essentially move away from open source again.

Though on the federal level, there‘s still some hope. Maybe.

That sounds like dumping trash in the oceans so ships can’t get through the trash islands easily anymore and become unable to transport more trashy goods. Kinda missing the forest for the trees here.

And it isn’t even true in many cases. For example the internet with the dotcom bubble. It actually became much bigger and important than anyone anticipated in the 90s.

China macht das schon etwa genau so lange, also nehmen die sich nicht viel.

Wer da überrascht ist, hat auch einfach die Kontrolle über das eigene Konsumverhalten verloren.
