It's also the single clearest example of a product that's been left behind by the "AI revolution" - while Google may still have the numbers (like Yahoo Search did back in the day), DeepL is what serious people use.

YouTube is very profitable
>Edit: And I'm suprised few people are mentionning how much information youtube gets about you from using the site, and using youtube premium makes being anonymous impossible.

This is an important point. How much money is Google making by being able to track and spy on YouTube viewers?
YouTube premium was probably the best decision I did. Amount of time saved on ads alone makes it worth it. Other bonus feature - downloading videos. If you make enough money it is a no brainer together with things like extra cloud storage from google, Apple and now ChatGPT
One way would be to require logins and then timeout accounts that behave abnormally wrt ads. Given that WASM will be mainstream soon, it will be hard to monkey patch the code to prevent all this.
YouTube's quality deteriorated. The amount of ads is obnoxious. Lack of dislike button to check, if a video of worth it probably inflated the view rate. They try to squeeze as much money as possible (hey Preference Max - we know it's only to allocate some of the money in the platform), until TikTok takes over.

I don't need YT, the content they host is not worth paying and I wouldn't have a problem to live without it.
From my understanding it doubles.
Did they ever figure out how to look at the value of a loop counter and use that to predict the branch?
If we enter Twitter as evidence into the record of yanking the cord on 3rd party apps getting a free ride off your company's hard work, then maybe Google has decided the negatives do not outweigh the positives.

What many people specifically don’t like about subscriptions are the transactions, IMO. Transaction costs aren’t zero, and microtransactions just introduce more of them.
I ran into this trap very early in my entrepreneurial journey. Developed a data "standard" for events in a vacuum, convinced that nothing else in the world could possibly exist. Then spent a good year learning the lessons that already-existing standards had learned and adapted from years ago.

A protocol like this doesn't work without community adoption. And the best way to get the community to adopt is to build on what's already there rather than trying to reinvent the fridge.
There are two forms of pronouns. The correct form is multiple pronouns, “he/them” or “it/she”. They are alternatives, both can be used. I think the first is preferred.

The second form is different cases, “he/him”. I have theory that people started using that because they didn’t want to put just “he”. They were following the multiple case form and it stuck. People aren’t really specifying cases because nobody uses different cases and nobody puts cases in the multiple pronouns form.
It’s always good to own the phone that people can’t understand or looks like a gimmick.

If Apple nails the iPhone max that unfolds into an iPad mini while minimizing thickness, it will be hard to ignore.
I think people are even indifferent to single-family homes. Many people would be happy living in a duplex or any of the various structures of the missing middle. You can raise a family under those conditions. What difference does it make if your child plays soccer with their friends in the shared courtyard or your own private backyard?

I actually don't think Blender does "full ray tracing" exactly either, or at least at some point it didn't. At least to the point where you do get some rasterization artifacts, like being able to see the polygons on the edge of objects. That's probably about as good as you can get. Combined with a "nanite" like technology, it's probably not much of a problem.
Same cost model as any hosting service.
I'm not who you were talking to as a heads up, but as someone who blocks ads, I frankly just don't care. I view ads as a security risk and as psychological warfare. If Google thinks it worthwhile to invest resources and manages to successfully stop my blocking, fair enough, but otherwise I'm going to continue to optimize for my own well being. Google will go on continuing to be one of the richest and most powerful / influential companies on earth, and the small fraction of ad revenue that the content creator would miss out on from my ad-blocking, well, cost of doing business.

I've stopped visiting Twitch because their ad's are annoying to block. I'll stop visiting youtube if the same happens. I refuse to engage with ads if I have a choice. I've given money to a handful of people on Patreon that I want to support, but otherwise I have greater problems to deal with than the small fractions of a cent that these creators lose by me blocking.
Traditional search engines aren’t going away for a long time, even if they are hybridized with LLM quick answers. My favorite websites about bike touring or someone’s tech blog will still be findable, and perhaps less buried under junk once content marketing is worthless.

Not sure what you don’t trust about it. I love Premium. I’ve had it for years, and YouTube is the best streaming platform there is in my book. It honestly just seems like something you are being stubborn over for no good reason. Stop hitting yourself sort of thing. No one is bullying you. Oh, they are advertising a service in their app that dramatically improves the experience and supports the channels you watch. But no, they are bullying you. Please.

This is the same argument people make about piracy. About potential revenue. The fact of the matter is, if I couldn't watch the video without either watching ads or paying for premium, I wouldn't watch it at all. So, the creator gets no money either way. Same thing when I pirate software or a movie or a game. I wouldn't have paid for it anyway, so the amount of money the creator gets is the same, zero.

Which brings us right back to the article: don't be surprised when your ad-blocker stops working.

Serving high bitrate video is not cheap and YouTube is notoriously breaking even at best. Any alternative is going to be even less efficient and more expensive due to the lack of economies of scale that Google has. If that's what you want so long as it doesn't have Google's name in the corner, so be it, that's understandable.

>If their platform was worth paying for, everyone would have moved to the paid tier by now.

I disagree. I think people are inherently cheap and will exhaust other options of getting the same content for free first. We shall see I guess.

Much appreciated.
YouTube is by no means the primary reason I run my ad blocker. That it works on YouTube is a side bonus, mostly useful if I need to watch something in an incognito window or while I'm signed into my work account. I pay for Premium on my main account mostly to support the creators. (The good ones tend to do the Patreon thing, and I much prefer to chip in there given the choice, but not everyone on YT does that.)
Has anyone heard of a viable escape route for sf? Every piece of news just seems to say sf is dieing but I haven't really read about any potential solutions. Shouldn't we be one of the most capable areas to solve a problem like this? Or did the culture or economic impact that silicon valley has produced cause this?

> because even when there is a paid option for a service much cheaper than any alternative, people do not want to pay

People don't want to pay for half-baked products:

- Workspace accounts don't work

- Even with standard accounts, it won't work on many devices (eg. TV apps), so you still get ads even as you paid

- As Google regularly kills people's account, it also means most of us have multiple Youtube accounts that we check in different contexts, and paying for premium on all of them is way more of a commitment that you make it sound like.

I actually subscribe to YT Premium. More than happy to for an ad-free experience.

But that's tied to my personal account. Sometimes I want to watch a video on my work laptop, or just in incognito mode. I would find it incredibly irritating if that were blocked because I use an adblocker. In this case I've paid for no ads, I just don't want this particular video linked to my personal account.
The value in LTV would be influenced by density. If every parcel around a plot of land is dense the total value would be higher. So tax the land at the average density of surrounding parcels and allow for unlimited density. That would incentivize density and development where it is needed and prevent a single hold out from inefficiently blocking development.

Theoretically you can short the stock to offset the risks, though this creates a conflict of interest and can be considered insider trading. Alternatively maybe invest in a fund that invests in a competitor and other industries.
> Really?? And these content creators willingly post their content on the site so that Youtube can steal from them?

Many no longer do because of this. YouTube "demonetizing" videos they don't like, while continuing to show ads on that exact video and keeping 100% of the reward for themselves is certainly not fully in the right here.

> Please tell me how Youtube is supposed to stay in business without using ads, without having premium services...

As I said, I would be more than happy to pay for a service that actually treated me as a customer rather than an inconvenience. Stop forcing creators to do dumb things like "Shorts" to keep their recommendations up. Stop forcing creators to make videos of a certain length so you can drop ads in. Stop hiding incredibly useful features like the downvote just so you can force me to view content I'm probably going to hate. Just show me the content I want and provide actually useful recommendations next to that, and I'd absolutely be willing to pay money.

I think the real problem is they can't because of the mixed model. They need those dark patterns and anti-features for the ad-supported half of the userbase. Maybe if they were building two entirely separate applications?

Or maybe I'm entirely wrong and Premium actually does what I'm asking for. But I've never seen anybody claim it does, so I haven't even given it a shot.

> just buy the stock, which keeps going up....this is effectively the same as a raise.

No, its not. Its “effectively the same as” using some of your shrinking-in-real-terms salary to buy stock; if you can afford to do it at all, you could afford to do it more if you had a raise, so clearly the two are not equivalent.

(OTOH, if Microsoft undershoots the market on salary and has stock worth buying, if you are good at your job you can get a job someplace that isn’t undershooting and use your additional salary to buy Microsoft stock — which is equivalent to both getting a raise and using some of your salary to buy stock.)

EDIT: Of course, if leaving for places not undershooting on salary becomes popular with the competent, buying Microsoft stock based on past performance may turn out to be a suboptimal idea.
Please don’t ask for sources on publicly available information, as if it’s my responsibility to personally convince you of it.
The YouTube app is a lousy user experience. The ads are the most intrusive and irrelevant of any service since commercial TV. For those reasons alone I would never become a paying customer. What’s worse is they have established themselves as yet another guardian of ideas. Content creators have to be careful not to talk about topics that are deemed out of line by the current msm and liberal zeitgeist. They could have been a great venue for debate during covid for example, but they censored and deplatformed world renowned scientists and doctors who dared question the cdc and wh. YouTube has the best content and I suffer through their UX to consume it but would leave as soon as there is an alternative
I run into problems like that a lot; I guess I do edge case things. That particular example was on an Intel Atom Bay Trail tablet (garbage architecture) I resurrected with a lightweight distro. It was a huge improvement, but there was no support for auto rotation, and manual rotation turned the screen but not the mouse coordinates sent by the digitizer. This meant touch inputs were mirrored or flipped or both.

This wasn't an old-school problem, either, it was three months ago.

> So, why does it have to be every keystroke? We can batch them locally.

This approach would absolutely work. Thanks for bringing it up! The problem is that it has a cost I'd rather not pay.

The problem is that batching only works if you don't send anything until the end of the batch. And that gives you an awful tradeoff - the more "live" your editing system is, the bigger the overhead. Its really nice seeing someone type live. Seeing their changes "pop in" after 5 seconds doesn't feel great. It doesn't feel current. And I think its too slow for pair programming over zoom and things like that. It also makes the DAG of changes much more complicated, because there's a much higher chance that changes are concurrent when there's that much latency. And that in turn also makes other aspects of the system do a lot more work to merge.

With hashing alone, you don't need to batch changes like that. Instead, you can just store hashes on disk for (for example) every 100 changes, and regenerate the changes in the middle when needed. (Though you need some other tricks so you can know where to look for a given hash).

Respect where its due, that would 100% solve it. I'm just looking for a way we can delete data without needing to give up the liveness.

> We should also permit the author of an operation to rollback the operation.

This doesn't completely solve the problem of hashes and guessability. Say in the 5 second batch I only type 1 character. We store some metadata, the character and the hash of the metadata & character. Then in the next 5 seconds I issue a rollback operation to delete that character. If I delete the character from durable storage, I can still figure out what the character was by brute forcing things and checking the hash for that batch.

I think thats fixable by adding junk data to every batch. I just bet there's ways to avoid doing that.
Right. This is actually not a bad summary at all. It's basically a very flexible harness which can be configured to be used with most linters and tidiers. I have passed this info on to the maintainer. Thanks for the feedback!
The "attention economy" has always been there. If you truly value your time so much you should be glad to have an option to pay for ads to be gone.

I know the human shit aspect of SF gets called out a lot, but it seems perfectly representative. The city won’t arrest humans shitting in the streets and can’t figure out how to stop it humanely so they allow it. And the citizens defend the practice as if there’s nothing possible to fix it.

So as a result you have to either deal with human shit as part of your life, or leave. The city won’t fix it. They won’t choose to arrest and institutionalize active drug scenes.

I don’t in SF but I spent a few months there in total over the years and really liked it. But I can’t imagine a reasonable person staying.

But maybe we’ll have some cool robocop style movies for when the city finally breaks down into mad max style real chaos.
> Peer to Peer for streaming doesn't seem a reasonable alternative at any scale, since most people own phones and then laptops, and much fewer desktops.

Peer to peer streaming of the PeerTube type seems to work reasonably well. Unlike Mastodon, etc., you don't have to sign up to receive content. You just click on a URL and it works. What it doesn't offer is discovery. Nobody will find your stuff on PeerTube. They might follow links there.

I put metaverse tech demos on PeerTube.[1] Works fine, few views. No ads.
