no one likes instagram shorts

it’s “reels” i think tiktok recommends better videos, but IG has closed the gap in recent years.

they embed dark souls into the browser

valve does a lot though. they continue to expand their store and related products, OS, hardware

if they did nothing another company would have leapfrogged them in terms of digital storefronts

i don’t believe stored fingerprints can actually be used on modern devices

thanks. exactly my point

you can thank the non-paying youtube members who made post like this possible

absolutely zero value to YouTube this is not true. non-paying users will like, comment, share to others making the platform more popular. and if they’re ads were less intrusive they would actually be more likely to be shown.

half of the websites are google-owned

there’s dozens of gaming subreddits already though. like truegaming or something else. i don’t think many existing subreddits will do this. i do think nsfw creators will paywall their posts

however if reddit goes that route i hope OF sues apple/google. I don’t like how some nsfw apps like reddit or x are allowed but others aren’t

bots take resources to serve just like any regular user

combine card with 2fa on mobile or confirm via sms would solve most problems

how? open ai isn’t funneling views to news sites it ripped from

ads cost money to increase users to eventually profit from them later.

how would a decentralized lemmy profit from the increased users.

Any money spent on ads would be better off hiring more engineering resources and improving lemmy for the next time Reddit does something dumb prompting an exodus.

not every game you own can be used this way.

because you have to extrapolate.

publishers don’t want you to own games just lease them so they can deprecate games and make you upgrade when they want to.

also no more mods or cheatengine to enhance the game or bypass microtransactions

reddit requires you to go out of your way to enable nsfw. tiktok is pretty heavy handed in moderation, but i still get some spam videos of nsfw content

Brevity is the soul of wit

i didn’t think it was a big problem but i could see how some people are slower to react and pressure gets to them

but i also think it’s weird when npcs wait forever for player input. but we’re not there yet

yeah but then you have to play a console without mods or cheap games

try buying a used GPU and game on 1080p monitor and you’ll be able to have great graphics without a lot of money

youtube is more secure than reddit.

it’s hard to offer that much video content for free

you can do this on device or using flashing utils.

but you probably need root
