Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I actually pay for YouTube premium. I know, I'm the literal devil according to some people on here.
It's just that I like to watch a lot of cooking shows, infotainment, and long form visual essays on a couple of niche topics pertaining to my profession and YouTube happens to have a great cross section of that kind of content. And, if we're being honest, I've gotten old enough where it's just a huge waste of my time trying to get to the experience I want via hacks or workarounds. Specifically, an ad free one.
YouTube, Curiosity Stream and a usenet provider are the only subscriptions I pay for and I'm quite happy with what I get for ~$20 a month. To each their own though.
How are those “experimental” Ai features?
I don't see a point in them. Why would I want to talk with a chat bot about the video I'm watching? Why would I care about YouTube comment summaries when YouTube comments are some of the lowest quality I've come across? These aren't 'features' that I'd pay for specifically.
