Not to mention, streaming services are just about everywhere. If you look at the right time, sometimes you can even find entire seasons of shows on YouTube.

Do some of the people from older generations commenting suddenly forget about the rest of the internet or what? Lol

Some of us also have parents who collect DVD, CDs, Blu-Rays and more. I find it hard to believe that an entire generation would just be unaware especially with how all over the place media is

Tbh, I almost caved and got premium, but I have a lot of the same issues with Youtube that you have.

A big YouTuber was doxxed recently by another big YouTuber, and Youtube did nothing about it. If I was him, I would be going to court.

It’s a streaming service, kind of like twitch

Funny how those same people still expect others to put in the time and effort for that work, eh?

With how many comments I’ve seen saying that it doesn’t take a lot to make an app, I’m shocked that there aren’t more lemmy apps. Shocked I tell ya.

Imo when it comes to topics like that, people tend to be able to just brush it off as a silly internet thing.

A silly internet thing is not necessarily equivalent a toxic community. I’m good with annoying posts, but a lot of people are taking other people’s personal decisions a little too personally. I find that behaviour more annoying than I ever found the bean posts, tbh.

Why would someone spend their free time somewhere that they feel brings bad aspects to their life? Why would someone want to deal with a lot of negativity over (let’s be honest) pretty minor things? Of course some users will get put off by that. It’s why some people left Reddit years ago.

If someone is against how a website operates, why would they continue to freely contribute things that would give profits to that website? People found out random specific information before reddit, and people will still be able to find that information after reddit.

Personally, I look at it as I’m grateful that people freely share such information in the first place. When information is this available to find (we have almost the entire internet’s worth of resources), I’m not going to complain that I can’t find it on one website.

Having attitudes like the one in this post can discourage people from sharing these things in the first place. No one wants to feel obligated to change their personal accounts to suit the liking of complete strangers, especially after they’re ready to move on. No one will want to be helpful if it just leads to complaints and grievances. Life’s just too short to deal with that noise, frankly.

Some of these posts are almost implying that an individual person providing valuable information for free for multiple years isn’t enough anymore. It implies that your own morals and wants don’t matter anymore, if someone else has to look a little longer to find something.

I’m sorry, I’m just sick of all the complaining and the expectations being placed on complete strangers to likely go against their own morals. Just use other websites, or create your own community. No one is beholden to go against their own morals just because it makes searching easier. That is not a great thing to expect of others.

I have a coworker who types like this, they might have turned it off altogether

I might prefer potatoes, but you might hate potatoes.

If we were looking at dishes in a restaurant, I might think one dish is a better value, because I like potatoes. You might think that that dish isn’t worth it if you hate potatoes. It doesn’t mean that the dish is better or worse, just that we have different preferences.

I don’t use sync myself, so I can’t speak on what specific aspects other people prefer over the FOSS apps. They might trust the developer more because they’ve interacted with them for a while, they might like how the UI works with their specific device, or they might even just like the logo. At the end of the day, it doesn’t effect me, as I can just keep using jerboa.

This recent trend of people telling other people to go back to reddit over (frankly minor) disagreements is ironically really reddit-esque behaviour, imo. That website was atrocious for gatekeeping behaviours.

“Our community is not like reddit!” Uh- huh. All of that stuff seems to be moving to lemmy, too.

Anyways, thank you for not randomly name calling like some other people are.

People can spend money on both, you know. There’s no hard rule that they have to be mutually exclusive.

It’s funny how NONE of these comments saying that the dev earned millions have a legitimate source. It’s always just “pretty sure”, “I assumed”, “I figured” etc.

I wish we would all stop making things up and trying to use those same things as proof. Lol

I hope that the lame jokes that were recycled for well over a year stay there, though. Certain repeated jokes were becoming just as annoying as ads.

Those “jokes” actually caused me to start blocking people, and I’ll do it again if I have to lol. It was like reading the same comment over and over again, which got pretty boring.

The cup. That was a whole thing that I completely forgot about lol

We can only hope
