You're presuming people are paying attention to everything all of the time, which they don't. Humans need that extra level of redundancy to mitigate our own shortcomings. Also, we look twice right as well! Once while standing still, the second time instinctively when you're already crossing in case something changed. Would you be required to do this 100% of the time? Probably not, but learning from a young age you can't trust one look is good practice in more ways than one.

When apple changed to lightning it was in the middle of the accessory hype where there were loads of accessories using the 30-pin. People where outraged because they could no longer use any of their accessories. Apple then commited to lightning for 10 years in order to sooth the public image. This was 11 years ago, and they didn't switch last year to cut costs, but I'd argue it only overstayed it's welcome for a year.

Luffy wants a stocked fridge, to honour his friendships and to be king of the pirates. He just doesn't give a single fuck about anything else

Honestly in my line of work I seriously considered Police, but when I noticed it's essentially a cult I noped out of there

I can vouch for Belgium, where this is still the case. I have yet to meet someone who can only drive automatic (except for people with disabilities ofcourse)

LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER is honestly one of the best channels I've found this year, the guy's energy is amazing, and the journey of his organ is definitely worth watching. I'll check out the other channels for sure!

Lmao, thank you. Unironically just people doing their jobs is great content. Powerwashing, yard cleaning, wood building, etc

He's absolutely the best spokesperson for right to repair. Very knowledgeable and no-bullshit approach. Although I find he's becoming very complainy lately, not that there's not enough to complain about lmao, but sometimes I'm not in the mood for 15 min of heated ranting.

Nothing wrong with a little self promotion! I do enjoy channels like The Retro Future as well, I'm sure I'll enjoy yours as well.

I'm looking for some small content creators who's content has not been influenced by the potential of making money. In the early days of YouTube there was mostly trash, but then a few small channels started using formats, using specific styles and actually standing out above a pile shit.

I used to love how these creators made their content for their viewers, they were so very different from anything we had in those days. Things have changed, I get it, everybody and their dog are trying to make money on the internet. Content creators need to pay bills, feed families and maintain/improve their quality. Honestly, I get it. But it sucks, I feel like 90% of the content I come across are contractually based to release at a specific time or interval. Meaning content creators are just milking their audience and sponsors. I'm not saying this type of content isn't good, it's just how it feels 10x less genuine and from the heart of the creator. (I feel LTT belongs in this category as well) It feels like cable television with extra steps and a personal algorithmic touch.

What people tend to forget is how little resources you need to make good quality content on youtube. It's never been easier to just start recording on our 4K+ smartphones. Yet, it's never been this hard to consistently find early internet ethos content creators.

So Lemmy, can you tell me about some small content creators whichhave the passion and drive we used to see?

I'll leave a few channels here which I enjoyed the most this past month.

Nokeric - Of the rails sketches

Joel Haver - Short sketches but also long form deep thought (Larger channel)

Exactly, we all helped build reddit for what it is today. They repeatedly showed its users and moderators that all they care about is filling their pockets. The API death is just a symptom, but the disease will spread.

I actually got my sync to look like a better version of Baconreader, needless to say I'm pretty happy!
