With the change in political atmosphere I suspect they’re going to get a lot more leeway to do things we don’t care for. I wonder if they could lobby to make ad blocking illegal.
It seems like it’s already beginning. For one, Firefox is getting blocked more and more often as being “out of date” (it’s not) while a chromium-based browser is fine. My VPN keeps getting flagged as malicious (PIA). It’s getting really irritating.
I use PIA a lot, But yeah a lot of VPNs are getting flagged as malicious these days, to be fair there’s a lot of malicious people doing things on them.
That’s what people are doing with sponsored segments.
My gut is that if Peertube had an ad marketplace that content providers would flock to it. But ODYSEE already failed at monetization. And then you’d have to have some kind of guardrails in place to keep people from hosting pirated* movies for $$$.
Just have someone ask him what kind of ‘nasty things he thinks democrats use the internet for.’ He’ll start rattling off things that are way too specific and definitely projection.

Google purposely gives you an issue when you use their search engine with a VPN. when that happens I say fuck your capcha and use duck duck go
Long live the Duck
or SearX, which by proxy uses the duck and whoever else :P
I find it infuriating that the “free market” doesn’t let me bid on an empty ad slot on my own videos and instead makes me pay a flat rate monthly fee.

edit: voice dictation sucks :)
No, I mean videos I’m watching. Let me pay the fraction of a cent myself.
Hopefully by then we have full mirrors of YT. Maybe PeerTube would be viable replacement
Yeah…not going to happen.
I wonder if someone can “buy” records of Trump’s internet habits
I’m fairly certain he just tell you if you got him doing his rambling thing.
