They are not entitled to money, therefore they can't "lose" money.
This whole "oh those poor creators" argument is ridiculous.
Most youtube content is trash.
When you produce trash but feel entitled to receive money for that trash, what does that make you? This is not a proper, healthy mindset.
You obviously were not alive in the cold war era.
I have to repeat myself your perspective is a very naive one.
Becoming totalitarian is a step by step path.
"Article 13 won't bring upload filters" 2 years later... upload filters.
The basis of the EU is not a democracy and as you can see and will see in future attempts will become so less and less over time.
There will always be people who want to control and spy upon other people.
And without knowing you I'll say you too. If you get the chance to spy on someone's bedroom passing by from outside the window without being noticed and no risk of being caught you will do so.
Opportunity creates crime.
Exploring entgo.io, planning to write a service for a no longer existing country and its diaspora.
But also generally considering other projects because all the jobs that are supposedly open are not for me. But I need a source of income so idk gotta do something.
I like working full stack with vue and go.
I hate devops.
Just because go is my language of choice doesn't mean I have to love docker k8s and generally write system stuff.
Thanks I didn't know about those.
The previously successful site that needed DRM isn't online anymore because we couldn't find a solution to the streaming audio/video problem with DRM and monetization.
Because of that we lost our access to content so the site had to shut down.
For 9 years it was the leading news source for an, unnamed here, African country.
So I see, Apple and Microsoft have offers, but that's also not open source or easily accessible?
It doesn't matter to me anymore personally.
Google cut their own source of income by denying us access to widevine, since the site was fully monetized via Google.
I blame Google for making mpeg-dash so inaccessible.
Want/need to use DRM? You won't receive a response from Google/widevine, no matter how often you write to them, despite them claiming otherwise and no matter how much money you already earn them via their advertising network.
They have the defacto monopoly and they want to keep it.
I'm instantly reminded of an at least 3 year trauma time when my Ex cheated on me and added more insult to injury.
Emotional injury is real.
I felt a pain as if someone has beaten the crap out of me and it was present all day every day from a few seconds after waking up to falling asleep. I felt as if I was beaten up so bad that if it was physical damage I would've been put in hospital.
That is real emotional injury and should be punishable by law. And if I'd have an educated guess it's also why some men beat up their cheating ex-partners or the third party, commit murder, suicide etc.
And reading some text can make me infuriated but not injure.
I can only be injured by text if I'm already in an emotionally vulnerable state, see the cheating ex example.
