Oh that’s not weird at all. Totally normal for a government to attack the press like this on an official scale. Completely average.

The algorithm recommends things it thinks you’ll like or have watched before. So if its recommending AI slop, it’s because you’re watching AI slop already. People just refuse to take the time to “train” your algorithm (and this isn’t just YouTube, it’s all algorithmic based platforms). You like / dislike stuff, hide things, give feedback, etc, and eventually you only really see the stuff you actually want to see. Sure some things slip through but 🤷‍♀️ I use YouTube and will continue to only bc the people I watch don’t post anywhere else, unfortunately.

All they care about is getting ad revenue from you and scraping your comments / posts to train their AI. So if you’re giving them neither, then yeah, being on Reddit is aight, imo. Like you I only go there anymore for answers to questions I can’t find anywhere else.

I think it’s because both are in the “fediverse” so perhaps that’s part of how that works

Wow that is just basically twitter. That makes a whole lot of sense! Thank you!

Am I stupid lmao I got here via Lemmy 😂

I think it’s okay, now I know apparently that mastadon just does that. I did not realize mastadon and Lemmy interfaced like this. Carry on! Enjoy your stay!

I genuinely did not know that was a thing on mastadon!

Perhaps it’s the app you’re using? I would say most people (at least on Lemmy, where I’m viewing this from) don’t tag the OP unless there’s something specific they want to draw their attention to or if they’re calling them out specifically in a reply. They get notifications of all your comments so no real need to tag them. It’s a lot like reddit in that respect (again, I’m on Lemmy, using the Voyager app. Another app might be different).

Edit: apparently that’s a mastadon thing. Proceed.

Lmao why did you tag the OP in your reply ?

Edit: I did not know they were coming from mastadon and I had no idea their platform worked like that. Sorry!!!

I do not want war but I also am not sure what will happen. I feels bad to just let Russia have Ukraine (if it covers to that). Because you know they will not stop there.

Edit: whoever downvoted me is delulu about Russia lmao

So what happens when Ukraine loses? Are we at war with Russia then?

This one has never failed me, always updated, always good.

You’re right but people don’t want to acknowledge it.

Didn’t they violate the ceasefire like an hour after it began? They’ve done this time and time again, idk why anyone trusted they would actually behave this time.

lack of hardware and skills

All you need is a smart phone and an Internet connection but aight

At this point why not download the music you want and ditch Spotify altogether? Not trying to be mean / annoying but there is a million ways to get your songs. I’m in the process of backing up my photos so I can download all the songs from my liked playlist 🤷‍♀️

Is anyone surprised they did this? They have done it before…

Are you being purposefully obtuse right now? There are tons of creators who post to YouTube and that’s it. Nowhere else.
