There are also a ton more people doing a lot of niches, so now you get fewer views.

So it’s tougher to crack. Surely a better way to rise to the top would be to have fewer or no adverts, and better content.

That I can agree on, but then again, how would they even sell their product if there’s no advertisement? The companies that don’t charge too much and then stuff some of it into advertisement, tend to go under.

I am not against advertising as a tool. I’m mainly referring to the companies that will pay crazy money for advertising, and pass that expense on to the end users. Blanket advertising, shouldn’t be allowed, it also allows the bigger, wealthier companies to drown out the smaller and start up companies.

Creator doesn’t really know if you have premium or not and many users (me) will also have adblock so they don’t get a cent from these views. That’s why many will show you ad-free videos on Patreon or Nebula. No sponsor segments if they know you’re a paying customer.

That’s why YouTube Premium should be the same as Patreon or Nebula. The creators should be querying YouTube about working something out there, instead of hitting the users with ads that they thought they had paid to get rid of.

I also would suspect that this case would be more about about the letter of the law, and not about what’s expected from the creators etc. If YouTube are marketing an ad free experience to people that pay for the service, then this is what it should be. Overall, if anything, this case should work out better for everyone except probably Google. YouTube would have to find a better way/payment to allow creators to have two videos without making too much extra work for them. One for premium and one for non premium.

There is still product placement etc. Subtle suggestions and other methods that I’m sure many businesses would still pay for.

Unless they are referring to paid advertisements by the creators.

The creators would presumably take a cut/fee from YouTube for showing their content ad-free. sponsorblock already does something similar.

Creators already get paid very well for posting on YouTube.

A good rule of thumb for me is, if I see adverts on YouTube and on TV for the same company or product, then they are charging too much…

I choose to avoid them.

if somebody is advertising a small company/startup etc…

Go for it.

But if a creator has ads on premium that costs x amount each month.

Nahh…

The timing is crazy, that’s around the same time that Google and Android is expected to start disappearing from thousands of phones.

Because they don’t use their indicators?

What happens if they suggest telling the US supreme court to go fuck itself hard?

And the rest of the world agrees with them?

I am not a betting person, but if I was, I would probably bet everything that I own, that Israel have taken well over $656m from them already.

The thing with Zionists… they think that because they have people everywhere the rest of the world can’t do shit about it.

That is going to be tested soon, and we will all find out. Not all dirty politicians are Zionists, even if most seem to be.

Nuvio - it uses the same stremio addons, you can import your settings. Nuvio can do more too.

But when Stremio shits the bed, have you checked that all of your addons are up to date, have you disabled any of the default addons (e.g. cinebye)? Have you tried to login to your stremio profile on a different platform or another version of Android to see if has the same issues?

This is purely performative, but won’t be overturned.

it’s unlikely that spurious/generic parts will work unless they want them to, and even then they’ll be less effective.

Their official parts will likely be more expensive, so they’ll be easier to repair, but cost a lot more, instead of paying the repair shop.

The devices or machines will no longer become waste as much, but the parts will. Warranties will be voided etc.

What would’ve been a better law to introduce would be introducing a minimum time limit on planned obsolescence with the right to repair.

Also, in the EU many countries have law that supercedes EU warranty.

If your device has an inherent defect (was always going to break no matter what you did with it) and sometimes may need to be proven in a court of law, The warranty can be extended to 7 years (some countries are shorter).

For example if you buy a TV, and after 4 years it develops a fault outside the normal warranty, and you find out that, that model has a known fault that happens to a few of them, don’t try to repair it and void the warranty.

It may be still protected by that warranty in your country.

He’s holding out until the elections. He knows there’s a slim chance that he mightn’t get re-elected while pushing this. But if he gets re-elected again in 2027, he will be able to sit for another 4 years and will have the time and power to change whatever he wants then.

Hopefully, in this instance it seems that a few of the federations have seen this corruption as a step too far and will have him removed from his position before he can stand for election again.
