someone should make a new youtube with no ads and no algorithm and just put a widget on the top right where you can link up a paypal or whatever and throw a few bucks to somebody after they made a video you feel deserves a financial reward.

the company that makes the website can take a % of each donation to pay for server fees and that's it. the website never gets any better or worse.

if i hadn't been using adblockers for the past 15 years i don't know if i would watch anywhere near as much youtube as i have

cos those 30-60 seconds of ads i've occasionally been seeing lately is more than enough for me to stop and think wait, maybe there's something better to do than watch this video

Eventually you will lose the services altogether as energy becomes ever scarcer and more expensive as fossil fuel companies tap into more marginal sources and renewables keep bumping against the laws of physics. Everything is downstream of energy, and GDP "growth" is all credit to paper over the fact that we're becoming materially poorer. By the end of millennial lifetimes we will become poor in a way I don't think most of us can even imagine.

the post was about how internet browsers inevitably enshitten themselves, creating the space for something to come in and easily be a better alternative, and you go straight to the heat death of the universe
