The Beaches - Blame Brett
Forrealest
On Maui. Rumors from first responders point to a death toll in the hundreds. Lahaina town looks like it was bombed and we won't know how many people are lost until all the rubble can be searched.
If there are any deep pocketed Lemmy friends out there, please have a look at Hawaii Community Foundation or other local organizations. Please be diligent if donating, as the bot-farmed fake donation scams are already starting to pop up online.
Thank you
Whelp, here's a toast to the future where the creators we enjoy can be supported through a more federated system.
I don't think there's any way to beat YouTube's infrastructure right now, and you can't even replicate it without a steady supply of blank checks.
Any geniuses out there know how to think of a system design that's FOSS, competes with YT's pay structure, and who knows what's the best supply for that pay? I hate advertisements.
How do we take the money that we already spend for subscription services and funnel that into some kind of pool to be equitably distributed to content creators?
I just checked my subscriptions and my YouTube Premium is still grandfathered in at $9.99/mo from my Google Play Music subscription that included Google Red.
Myself and family listen to music all the time, and YouTube without ads has paid for itself with dev tutorials, DIY videos and other educational stuff; I can't run aBO on my TV. As soon as they find a way to kick me off my current rate, I'll bail, but until then I can't find a cheaper fit for my needs.
