Thanks. I never expected this to happen, I thought people would understand what that would mean. I wish Americans good luck in the upcoming years.

Wait, what am I missing? I thought the elections were not entirely decided yet. Could someone fill me in?
Huh? No I am not agitated or offended.
Alright.
And I haven't seen one yet is the thing.
Yeah and you might not have “seen a reason” but others have, that’s the thing. Just because you see no reason to use it, others do. If they found a reason then it doesn’t matter whether you see a reason or not. As long as they do.
Idk tbf, not needed in the UK.
That’s great, I suppose.
Our conversation is going nowhere. It’s pretty much the same thing on repeat. So, I’ll stop responding after this message.
Yeah, but I've never had one so ig I'm trying to learn and maybe help some who are having trouble.
Yeah, I’m just saying there’s always a reason one might use a site instead of torrenting.
VPN? I don't think I mentioned a VPN. If your WiFi has ISP busting your balls then use a different WiFi :)
Never claimed you did. I only mentioned a VPN because that’s usually the case (at least in Europe like Germany and The Netherlands) and I assume also US?
The way you responded back makes me assume you feel agitated or offended.
Some people just prefer to do so, others cannot afford a VPN just yet. There’s always a reason.
For example; I usually torrent but due to just being graduated, no job yet and so no income. I’ll resort to streaming sites for now.
Reminds me of “Detroit: Become Human”.
Man, I loved that show! Might even rewatch it. Caffrey, Mozzie and Burke are amazing.
It's funny to me that people have such a problem with YouTube Premium.
Just means you don’t see or agree with their point of view.
YouTube Premium is about as close as it gets to the platonic ideal of a video subscription service. It completely banishes any ads you'd get without paying
I don’t understand what you mean here (could be because English isn’t my native language). For YouTube premium, you still need to pay. So how does it banishes ads without paying?
Anyway, you still get in-video sponsors which doesn’t get automatically skipped by YouTube’s “premium”. A lot of people (included myself) find premium expensive for what it is. I, personally, don’t need the whole package for €15-20/monthly. It could’ve been like €5/monthly to remove ads.
Sure one could use advantage of currencies but ain’t worth it when there’s uBlock Origin + SponsorBlock for Firefox, SmartTube for TV, uYou+ for iOS and ReVanced for Android.
If showing ads is unacceptable, and paying to not see ads is unacceptable, then what's the alternative?
It is not that’s “unacceptable”, it is the price and ‘value’ you get out of it.
People have to make a living, and servers don't run on magic.
Google/ YouTube (whatever) as a company are immensely rich. Toning down the price or change their tactics won’t hurt them so much. But of course they won’t, I would not either because eventually there are people who will gladly pay the €15/monthly. So why change?
Is there an easier way to block NSFW altogether? I wanted to try Mastodon but left because no matter what, I did - it was filled with NSFW.
Any Mastodon server recommendation for anime, games and art that are not NSFW?
Sometimes I’m perplexed how someone can be so smart and immensely stupid at the same time.
Dude became one of (if not the most) richest person in the world and yet his attitude, behavior and speech are immensely stupid.
I’m not the right person to start a community, that’s the main problem. I’m not fit to be a Moderator and such.
I made an account yesterday to see how it is, however, I never used Twitter and so I don’t really understand how BlueSky works (since it suppose to be the same as Twitter?).
I followed 8 people and a couple of “#” but I barely see a thing of the people, I follow.
