Pretty cool you worked it out from that perspective. My current thinking is that if something is costing me time, is it worth my time? Which leads to a lot of unread videos and articles.
There’s a lot of friction in today’s internet… it’s going to take some monumental events to change the current trajectory.
Yeah, that's one of my primary points. It isn't as simple as people on Nostr like to make it sometimes. Funding is probably THE issue for a YT displacement and I can't figure out where it would come from.
Exactly. I typically use money to buy time. I may waste that time fucking off on YT, but I made that decision for myself.
Same. I weigh my time very high because I put it to good use.
That's why I, for instance, go to the local butcher with trained personnel, so I can just walk in and they're like, "Ah, Mrs. Laeserin, good morning, I've already put some stuff to the side for you. Look at this lovely pork loin and one of our suppliers is taking orders for duck..."
Everyone else spends 30 minutes pouring over ALDI fliers and driving to three different stores to save 10¢ on ham.
Just give me the loin, thanks. Here's a €5 tip for your troubles, see you next week. I got shit to do.
Nah, just takes the dollar losing purchasing power and interest rates going up and people retiring and liquidating their 401(k), so that companies need to finally break even, to keep their stock price up, rather than taking on more and more debt.
Can already see it moving that way. Get more and more notices from freemium services that they're going to start purging unpaid content and etc. Data centers are not free and shareholders want to finally see some dividends or they're going to sell and buy Bitcoin. 😂
I have no idea about these things to be honest, I absorb a fair amount of information but I don't do the work to verify. I instead amuse myself by making funny noises for cash.
