Makes me wonder if a fork will happen in the future. Wonder if offerings will be much different a year from now, and if options like kbin will be more polished by then.

They chose to financially put themselves in a situation where they are forced to release content at that frequency because they chose to expand operations and drastically increase expenses compared to other channels. It's their decisions that created the work cycle that is needed in pursuit of exponential growth over a more financially sustainable model that affords the luxury for a less hectic release schedule.

It's getting old seeing people keep making they have to do it this way when it is the situation they created for themselves.

Monetizing an apology video of all things says it all.

He's another tech bro. Wan show always seemed more like a soap box for him to try to make him seem like an aww shucks type of guy, but there was the whole discussing wages issue at LTT too that broke the illusion of the image he tries to depict of himself.

I think people who visit here have been pretty cool. Not any worse or inferior to people with accounts here.

I didn't know something like that was going on. Logo would be cool.

Just because you disagree with someone doesn't mean it's automatically a circle jerk. People do have valid reasons for not choosing to spend money on the epic platform.

It'll probably be a 4k tv then? LG, Samsung, Sony, TCL, and Vizio seem to all have airplay support for TVs released recently these days. If Android TV it's easy to side load smarttubenext, but never bothered due to finding airplay convent enough.

Until then it might be worth checking out to see if you can get smarttubenext installed on your chromecast

Looks like it is up to only 720p. Never been bothered by it myself for the type of content I've air played. Not ideal for movies or TV shows though.

Absolute golden resource. This will save me so much time when I'm searching through random videos.

What brand do you have? If they have Android TV they seem to usually have airplay support too, but you need to go into settings and then get your Apple device paired with the TV to get airplay to start working.

For anime there's not really activity for episode or Manga chapter discussions, and found that the My Anime List forums ended up filling that void. https://myanimelist.net/forum/

For buildapc checked out pcpartpicker and found they had a forum with people to help and being pcpartpicker the layout of parts is really nice when people suggest them to you https://pcpartpicker.com/forums/forum/27-create-a-part-list-for-me/

For more casual stuff like pics and memes found squabbles has pretty good activity https://squabbles.io/

For NBA stuff found realgm forums with lot more activity for individual team boards https://forums.realgm.com/boards/

For video game deals found this forum https://www.cheapassgamer.com/forum/10-video-game-deals/

It was nice that forums are still alive once I finally tried to seek out communities outside of reddit after all these years

 

It's inconvenient to have to hop between different instances to see what is going on, and it would be nice to just be able to aggregate it all in someway like the equivalent of multisubreddits in events where defed happens.

One hypothetical being

lemmy/c/PatientGamers@sh.itjust.works+technology@beehaw.org+Futurama @lemmy.world+Android@lemmy.world+RetroGaming@lemmy.world+PC Gaming@lemmy.ca+Movies and TV Shows@lemmy.film/.rss

Being able to customize the feed you see regardless of where you are signed in or not signed in would make it so much easier to juggle different accounts depending on the policies of each, and stay connected with the communities you want. Would also make it easier for instances to be able to defed without worrying as much on impact on users to create the space they want.

 

For me it's been communities like /r/buildapc, /r/buildapcforme, /r/buildapcsales, /r/gamedeals, and /r/consoledeals have been useful throughout the years.
