Guess, AMP didn't give them enough control over servers, now they also want to capture the clients.

In my experience, it can be difficult to grasp for privileged folks, who do kind of have not that much to fear, if they don't hide their identity. But for minority groups and well, women, it comes a lot more naturally.
They got bought out and the new owner laid off 50% of the staff: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/oct/17/bandcamp-lays-off-half-its-staff-after-buyout-by-songtradr
These images always look so fucking creepy...
Universities are cool (presumably only if you live in a country without tuition).
Well, "Bro" is cut off. That game is called "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate". But someone else pointed out that there may be a more intelligent heuristic, where it will cut off words, if e.g. only the last 1–2 letters need to be cut off...
Why compete, if you can buy your competitors?
If they elide based on words (not letters), then it's weird that 12 is displayed as "Bro"...
Alright, yeah. I do even feel the same about copyrighted music. But lots of people want to listen to their favorite artists and will accept rather much pain to do so...
YouTube has lots of competitors in the field of video content: Netflix et al, Twitch, TikTok, DailyMotion, Vimeo, PeerTube etc.
But they have a monopoly on specific content. If you search for a tutorial on how to take apart your specific toaster model, you'll probably only find that on YouTube. Or if you've watched a specific video creator for years and they only upload to YouTube. Or even if your colleague sends you a link to some dumb YouTube video, then you're not going to ask them for the title, so you can throw it into SepiaSearch.
If you're part of a younger generation, it's just not really an option to not use YouTube...
Because they have a monopoly.
I tend to use Falkon, which is developed by the KDE community...
