No but I'm not going to pay Google for anything. It's obscene to give them even more money.

Google is one of the richest companies in the world.

The PR team got the task to improve his reputation, and they paid newspapers and online sites to write positive things about him.

Nothing new under the sun.

Even a pic where he doesn't look like a lizard. Well done.

Lol 14 dollars for YouTube without ads when you can just run Newpipe. :)

I guess some people react to it and other don't. I'm not trying to be rude either - I just mean that the language that you call "formal" comes off as extreamly disconnected from the community to some of us.

Reddit should be grateful for moderators working for free to moderate their site, and the way they talk to these moderators is absolutely fascinating. I can only assume it comes from living your life around corporate bullshit to the degree that it becomes normal to you.

Normal human decency, friendliness, sense of humor, compassion... Reddit leadership doesn't have these qualities. Corporate bullshit is a term for when you fake these emotions to reach a strategic goal, such as trying to make people work in the same direction even when it's not in their interest to do so.

I think people on Lemmy.world wants every Lemmy user to be on their instance. I have never seen any other instance post so much messages about how people should that instance instead of joining the network.

Centralized will lead to a lot of issues for Lemmy but I guess people need to learn that.

The way they talk to the mods is absolutely infuriating and the "best" part is they they don't even recognize it themselves.

More rude people yes. But it was to be expected. On the plus side, more content also created by people who are not rude and immature. Most are not.

There was an article not long ago about how blocking threads won't make the problem go away. Not sure how to find it again here, I tried searching for it but there are so many articles about Threads so it's hard to find. Either way it made a very good case why blocking won't make a difference.

The default software is kind of shitty and buggy. I flashed my Asus with Tomato. See if your router is supported by FreshTomato for example, it can really make a huge difference in stability and features.

You will get paid for your work on windows or mac if you make good software. Go ahead and create.

Content doesn't cost to create. Users are doing to for free as you can see. People have other reasons to contribute to a platform than making money. It's not the meaning of life you know.

This is what you don't understand I think... That a technical platform can have other goals than how to produce profit for it's owners.
