Yeah they can’t keep raising the prices. Especially when they now have competition. Altho the newcomers are pricing their services competitively to steal marketshare. If they were in the same position netflix is in now, they’d likely do the same.
This is Dystopian o.o
This is a good question I also have. I think we do need to explore some monetization options. As an example, ads on youtube allowed for independent media to thrive. It was good.
But youtube, or alphabet as a publicly traded company, wants more money than just to pay the creators. They gotta increase profit to please the shareholders so we are seeing more ads.
I think we should normalize paying a subscription fee for content so that we don’t pay with it with our data. But it becomes a chicken and egg problem. Unless a creator or website is huge, not many ppl will subscribe for it initially. So what do creators or small websites do? Maybe there is room for ethical ads if we cant get enough users to pay or donate.
Haha they really shoould
I’ve been thinking about this recently too and Revolt does look nice, and would be better than discord, but I would like to see matrix clients/clones that also cater more to discord users.
It’s kind of like the signal app. It’s the best one that is easy to use for now.
Ubuntu touch is indeed very stable compared to the other linux distros.
Have you tried using the teleports app?
I think having payment in the messaging app will be expected as it is becoming the norm. But I don’t like that signal is partnering up with a private crypto coin corporation.
Is the answer necessarily cryptocurrencies? Maybe a stablecoin version or just some different intermediate way to send payments privately that doesnt involve cryptos?
Happy to hear this news too.
Do you think there will be any downsides to having an alternative payment system?
I wish it were ARM based. What other SoC will they use? A custom AMD?
Same! my total mailbox size is 179 mb out of 18GB with protonmail :D
Haha that was good! I am all for mac os style distros. It is good eye candy to attract mac fans :D
Good points, I think the matrix/element relationship does deserve scrutiny but people blow this out of proportion when they say matrix itself is for profit or bought out.
Would anyone here pay for facebook or instagram to remove ads?
Thanks for the mention! I used to post videos on peertube.social but now post on TILvids as I like their curation. https://tilvids.com/video-channels/geotechland/videos
i gotta give apple credit. their software may be closed source but their privacy policy seems to be decent and is exposing all these data mining companies.
@nutomic@lemmy.ml Glad you posted this! I’ve been getting a lot of comments on my video about Lemmy regarding the political views of the Lemmy devs.
I’ve think I’ve handled them like a champ but they seem to be so afraid that Lemmy will be used to “convert” people to communist ideology which is absurd.
As for the slur filter, while I personally don’t think it’s a good way to deal with abuse on Lemmy instances (e.g words can be used in different contexts). I understand the reasoning behind it.
I’m typing this on the app, it works great! Very clean look and feel.
The real question is: When will there be an ios version? 😉
yep as much as I dislike Elon’s politics, this is actually a good business move.
Though I doubt this will impact the ads/analytics side of things.
