There is a demand, and there is a supply. Decentralization trends lead more and more people to self-host, and you can’t get around it any other way.
But also self-hosted (the central server, i.e. “lighthouse”) and open-source
Mental Outlaw also has the great guide explaining the install step-by-step in a great detail
Damn I imagined this
We need a movie about it
Your analogy is not entirely correct.
As a viewer, I do not demand producers to create remakes or enhanced versions. They do it themselves - to take profits off relatively easy work, compared to, you know, producing a new great film or whatnot.
The correct comparison would be me writing a book and selling it, and then writing an appendix to this book and selling it separately with a solid price tag.
If I’m an honest author, I’d post updates freely, so that people who already own the book would have important data and wouldn’t use incorrect results from there. It would affect my reputation if I’d do otherwise, too.
In my real case, I can publish an update, and yes, it will be free. This is a standard for scientific articles, open or not, and many even have easy links for version updates, containing all corrections.
And my boss pays me because otherwise I wouldn’t be able to produce the first result to begin with.
Also, the very idea of digital media is to be accessible and not transient. You can save and backup data and it will be there, in its original form, forever. Updates in art are entirely optional and often unasked for.
I still don’t get where you’re going with that. Pointing out that in the past physical media did a little bit of the same, draining fans of money with re-releases that just added what’s been cut or were enhanced in other ways? Then that’s same as, say, DLCs: a small amount of work draining much more money than it’s worth, just as means of squeezing more cash from fans while making the base thing affordable for a wide audience. It’s just about maximizing profit way beyond the point of payback. Greed, essentially, and nothing else.
As per How I Met Your Mother, I kinda felt the ending to be somewhat natural, even though it seems like they didn’t think it through well to begin with. And yes, it’s super cruel to kill Ted’s wife - she’s extremely nice and suits him better and I get your feelings. But this is also a very logical plot twist, and the ending feels…like it should’ve been. I just knew it’d end up there.
And as per ethics, everything I produce (I work in scientific field) I hold no rights to, and they either belong to a company, sadly (on one job that actually pays me enough to survive), or are in the public domain (open access scientific articles, available for everyone in full text). I wish it would all be the latter. I do not want to retain copyright on anything I make, and I wish for it in general to be abolished. And until that’s not the case, I’m comfortable breaching it forcefully.
If you purchase something and you can’t just download it, move it wherever you want and watch it there with no limitations, you didn’t purchase it.
So you’re saying you want one show, and you pay subscription to see it, but then, if you want to watch it again, you have to pay subscription again, and at that point the “paying subscription for a show” model kinda breaks.
I absolutely didn’t get your argument on digital media. Film is not a stage performance - the former is recorded once, the latter needs to be manually recreated every time. Every performance is a lot of labor, and it needs to be paid. Every film view is literally nothing.
And yes, I personally have an ethical system strictly opposed to this, and, really, business/corporate greed in general, and I don’t think I’m alone here. And in the digital space, we can pack a punch.

I see, that’s valid
NewPipe was built precisely with the purpose of avoiding that, so it goes directly against your use case.
Nope, but that’s the point
You can import your subscriptions though
There’s a NewPipe fork that includes Sponsorblock and dislikes, just a heads up
That’s an impressive feat, especially considering the complexity and differences of yeast DNA encoding compared to more researched bacteria.
Can confirm, incredibly powerful combo. Allows for lossless downloads!
