Like it must have been really expensive and no one at any point that "why are these light bulbs so expensive".

We're talking about people who have absurd amounts of money. I know a rich guy and he doesn't even blink at spending $10k+ on some things. It's just inconsequential.

I mean dunkin serves 396mg of caffeine in their large iced coffees. Just eyeballing it, their large iced beverages seem to be 30oz as well. I don't think that the serving sizes are much of an issue when compared to other beverages with similar caffeine content at other restaurants and cafes.

It has the same amount of caffeine if you get the 20fluid oz cup. A 20oz coffee at panera is 268mg while 20oz of lemonade is 260. I don't think you have a point here.

That's why you use your eyes and read the sign that clearly states "as much caffeine as our dark roast".

Sure, if you want to put that label on most coffees as well since the lemonade has the same caffeine per ml. Then you get to the point of having everything labeled so everyone will naturally ignore it.

It says "as much caffeine as our dark roast" on the dispenser. It's a pretty solid reference imo. If you have the same quantity of lemonade or coffee, then you have the same caffeine intake.

That is correct. If you compare the caffeine content per ml to most coffees, you'll find that it's essentially the same. Star bucks coffee, for example, has 410mg for their large cup which is actually more per ml than the lemonades have.

Where else are they supposed to put it? Do you realize how small Gaza is?

True, but it doesn't make sense to astroturf on a site with the tiniest fraction of users, most of which are already critical of mainstream centralized social media. Why worry about doing it here when a single comment on reddit can reach millions of people when lemmy doesn't even have as many users combined as some of the subs over on reddit.

This guy is a clown, regardless. I had an interaction with him on another thread where he edited his comment to make himself look like he predicted my response lmao. He also refuses to elaborate on some of the good faith response comments from other users because he knows his viewpoint is indefensible.

Even if you barely donate, you're donating more than most users. Everyone should help in whatever capacity they can and there isn't any shame in not being able to contribute as much as others. I'd love to see how many donations some of the FOSS purists here make haha. I bet a lot of the real toxic FOSS bros don't contribute anything.

I guess that's fair. There's a critical point where that happens though. Even if they doubled the amount of ads right now, I bet they wouldn't lose too many people because there aren't any real competitor platforms. The amount of youtube ads right now is still significantly less than the equivalent watch time of cable channels, for example. You can watch 20 mins of content and sit through maybe 3 5 second skippable ads, and 3 20 second ads or something? Still significantly less than tv where you have 15 mins of ads every hour.

I'm talking about purely in terms of ads on the video. Both youtube and content creators want as as much ad revenue as possible but not to the point where they lose viewership because of the quantity of ads. I'm not saying content creators are in the wrong, I'm just saying that they get paid based on ads, so of course they want more revenue. It's just an analysis of the relationship, I'm not pointing blame towards anyone.
