  • Again you’re wrong. It’s counted directly by the amount you watch and goes to the creators you watch.

    Or, equivalently, pool all revenue, divide by watch time, get the same result.

    You can verify this by constructing an excel table of 10 users (rows) and 3 channels (columns). Assign random % weights of “watch time” per user per channel. Assume a constant subscription fee of 1. Verify that a column_sum is the same as column_average*10, where 10 is the total platform revenue, as there are 10 users each paying 1.


  • You keep imagining some way how YT could get cheaper for you.

    But in fact, ads are highly profitable, and if you buy a premium there’s a very transparent revenue share model. 70% of your money goes directly to the creators.

    All your wishes are already fulfilled, you’re just poor and are trying to justify not paying with imagined arguments.



  • Always happens in your dreams, lemmy, while your biggest political activism is “trump bad” memes.

    In reality, your beloved democratic party are just a different flavor of a corporate bitch.

    You need to work hard on starting grass-root movements all across the country to facilitate proper democracy and eventually allow for a civilized political discourse at the parliamentary level where the whole spectrum of opinions is presented representatively.

    But, no, ofc “puuuurge elon tomorrow!”. And then back to watching YouTube on your couch.

    You’re only allowed to have post-nut clarity in capitalism if you have earned a lot or better yet once you have a stable passive income. Otherwise, it’s money-horney talking in you.

    And most of the days that’s what lemmy sounds like “I never had sex, this attractive guy has slept with too many girls, we gotta make sure there’s an equal distribution of girls among all of us”.

    We can still talk about how that situation is unfair, but you’ll never convince me that you’re neither jealous nor horny.













  • Cars, car infrastructure, people preferring to live far out and drive to work – those are choices that can be made individually and collectively in a society-respecting way.

    Driving an ICE car is a choice that affects the entire planet. When you do that, you’re doing something immoral no matter what.

    Driving electric essentially illuminates the most immoral aspect of the entire driving your car thing. It is a moraly superior choice, and you should feel good about it.

    And now that we removed “if we all drive the world will end” from the discussion, we can in a civilized manner discuss and decide how many cars and where do we want.

    Oh, sorry, this is lemmy, lemme quickly correct myself: burn every Tesla you see to stick it to the billionaires! Revolution starts today!
