No shit. The question is just about the current system. Your answer is like saying “How should we implement universal healthcare while capitalism still exists?” “Pass”. It doesn’t make sense.

Thanks for your thoughtful response!

That’s how much my student subscription is, that’s why I was curious. I think it’s $6.99 plus tax?

That’s really interesting! Would you pay $8 for a no ads subscription?

Pass on what? Using YouTube at all?

All decent people would. I meant within the bounds of treason and tyranny.

Interesting. I didn’t think anyone was cool with any ads.

I’m curious what people would prefer for revenue generation models. Just subscription fees? A lot of folks also seem resistant to that as well.

I believe it is centralized but it is certainly an alternative to WhatsApp. My understanding is that it’s encrypted and privacy centric.

Correct. If they ever roll out ads on premium, I’m not sure what we’ll do. Maybe figure out a new platform or a new way to watch.

I stopped using RIF when the dumbass who developed it started whining about open source and monetary remuneration. The app became popular in large part because it was open source.

It’s just like the nutsack who founded GitHub. A literal GPLv2 program and the guy got super rich and famous, then extolled the virtues of using lax permissive licenses. Absolute tool.

I don’t think the problem quite amounts to Trump likes Trump. For me, the issue is obvious: this is reactionary policy that he and the Republicans have been quite clear about enacting. I am trying to be a bit more sympathetic because I get that people have been tricked, but I think Trump was very clear about doing this well in advance of the election.

At least you appreciated my joke!

Why are you censoring the word reddit? Is that a joke?

As all decent people do.
