Holy wall of text Batman! I’m lowkey interested in the service, but uhhhh…

Agreed. If every song I heard had it, I’d grow tired of it, but that’s not been the case for a long time (if ever).

Here’s a longer version that gives a little additional context to the quote:

“A lot of the challenge is with younger people. More than 50 percent of young people in America get their news from social media. So just pause on that for a second. They are seeing short-form videos, some of them totally made up, some of them not at all representing what they claim to be showing, and that’s where they get their information.”

Streaming video is expensive. LTT did it with Floatplane, even going so far as to develop their own backend. Watcher and some other YouTubers did it with Vimeo as their backend, but Vimeo still takes a large cut.

At the end of the day, people are doing this, but YouTube still offers a compelling value compared to other platforms. It’s hard to beat their scale, sophistication, and the discoverability of their platform.

Brave Search has !bangs and an independant search index. Kagi relies heavily on it.

Not even a little in this situation. Maybe take your head out of your ass and stop spreading lies. He literally addressed this head on.
