It genuinely does sound like that, they make a horrible noise.

This place has a weird sense of humour.

Thoroughly awful human being, for sure.

That’s also a very sensible business decision, to be fair.

Aircraft company manufacturing gas turbines seems perfectly sensible.

It’s not underage porn, it’s depicting someone as underage, while the actress or actor is in fact over 18.

Which does seem like a reasonable thing to ban.

Bullshit does that take multiple hours, windows updates are typically pretty fast.

My Windows 11 laptop was about an hour of updates when I first got it.

Which is fine, I’m pretty sure I went and made dinner while it was doing that, it’s not like you’re required to actually do anything for that to happen.

Including Pizzacake, except she has arguments everyone agrees with.

That makes no goddamn sense.

The more time you spend on the platform, the more ads Google can show you. A video that people watch is good for showing people more ads. If people don’t watch a video, it’s not useful for showing ads.

I’m very happy to block communities, much less so to block an individual. They’ve got to be consistently spammy for me to get annoyed enough to block.

I kinda don’t, especially the type of people who bitch about the algorithm on Reddit.

I disagree about constructive feedback, if someone has decided “the algorithm” is the reason their video isn’t getting views, they’re not going to do anything to actually improve their content.

By pointing out it’s people who are choosing not to watch their content, they might decide to actually do something different.

If your audience was bored by it, it wasn’t a good video.

I remember there being a bunch of people saying this in the YouTubers subreddit.

What they never quite grasped was this : the algorithm tries to put videos in front of people it thinks they will want to watch, with the goal of getting people to watch as much YouTube as possible, with one of the metrics used to make this judgment being whether the people who have been recommend the video have watched it, and if so, for how long.

If “the algorithm” doesn’t like your video, it’s because the people it has been recommended to have either not watched it, or have watched a very short amount before clicking away.

In other words, your video was shit.

Being able to download both videos and music is a big one, it saves me a lot of mobile data.

That’s why “conman” is short for “confidence man”.

They talked someone into just handing over the keys to a truck by acting like they belonged.

Lighten up, it’s a solid joke.

And yet, my ancient Kobo just keeps on ticking along.

And given that YouTube probably loses money money on those people, I don’t think they would miss them.
