I’d be interested in a response to this (that isn’t “hurr durr just wank bro”) because I don’t want it in my feed but that goes against the whole “no curated feed” philosophy.
You’re right about advertising, but they also are a legal target. Any platform that has sex related content on it will eventually feel pressure from their country’s government. It just takes one incident and
I reckon platforms see them as a burden due to the volume of regulation that they inevitably become saddled with, or face penalties. Hence why tumblr rolled the dice on removing it all, Reddit is restricting ease of access, and Pornhub purged most of its content.
I’m interested to see how the Fediverse will handle it when it eventually comes this way.
Oh no! I’m gonna have to read man pages
The last few releases of Jerboa have been atrocious. It’s currently crashing when backing out of activities, voting, or commenting. I tried Thunder but the UI is extremely confusing for me.
Another Podcast Addict user here. But I don’t think they pay the Podcasters anything if that’s your concern. If you’re listening to Joe Rogan, don’t pay him a penny. Pirate the shit out of his podcasts. But maybe you should consider giving to Patreon if you don’t already. They take a cut but at least you know its going to the podcaster.
Also you really should know that Tidal isn’t paying anyone any better, no platform is. They’re all beholden to rights holders, and that is mostly record labels and their parent companies. No platform pays per stream, that’s a myth. Spotify just distributes all the money left after their 30%. Blame the labels for making audio so unprofitable and for the average listener for treating music and podcasts as disposable,
Before you think I’m defending spotify, I’m not. They tried to make an unprofitable product profitable and they did it by selling out to record labels. Spotify could have made them irrelevant but chose not to.
I’m not sure it was, unless you actively sought it out.
Lots of communities were nice and pleasant, with little to no animosity. The politics subs invite debate and discussion, so naturally argumentative people gravitate there. But most of Reddit was fun
Online discussions can be toxic anywhere. You don’t have to take part in a community and don’t have to be dragged into dramw. There’s always somewhere more welcoming.
One completely out of touch ideologue praising another isn’t surprising but it is shocking how such incompetent people can land positions like this.
It’s not too late for Reddit to claw some of it’s reputation back, but this guy needs to step down for it to happen.
