Not exactly doable since living spaces legally must have egress windows, and shopping malls... Don't really have many outer walls for that compared to the amount of space internally they have

I'm not really certain what value nebula provides other than some creators uploading occasional content exclusively on nebula. Without nebula they'd just... Upload it to YouTube, which is free, so I'm not sure what the difference is

So it's not Firefox

I like the post but had to downvote it because the English is atrocious

Oh sure I'm not a huge fan of the GPU shortages, though very few crypto things need them anymore

a solution for a non-existing problem

Depends entirely on where you live and if you trust your government, but yes the USA and most Europen countries are fine in general. I personally just prefer anything that can be decentralized. That's why I'm on Lemmy, after all, haha

Which shitshow? Imo that's like saying the internet is forever stained by whatever "shitshow" there was. It's just a technology, there are good and bad applications

One could argue that we're paying for it without our consent

One could argue that the Flying Spaghetti Monster exists. That doesn't make it remotely true.

Google doesn't pay anything in taxes

Uh. Google pays a shitload in taxes. There hasn't been a single year that they HAVEN'T paid taxes. They paid 11 billion in income taxes alone in 2022.

Which is really unfortunate because there are some actually useful, neat projects

Nebula can only afford to do that because basically nobody who subs to nebula actually watches the videos on it. They did a video about their revenue model and people treat it as a way to support the creators, not to actually watch content

They'd absolutely 100% be losing money with a $2 ad free tier. Ads make significantly more than that per user per month. Same with your """solution""" for higher res video. Bandwidth is goddamn expensive.

I mean you didn't buy it before so why would you now? You don't need excuses. You just don't want to pay for it. Own it.

Dunno. I distinctly remember doom and gloom that he'd get away scott free.
