Lemmy users are so fucking annoying. All of the shitty people from Reddit moved here.

Because Lemmy is full of insufferable entitled assholes.

Then it sounds like a you problem…

Timbers are shivered.

Antisocial people.

It was the same on Reddit. All of the people who despised emojis were often posting in really cringe and incel related subs.

My use of emojis sky rocketed after I started dating. They are fun and convey emotion really well.

Go back to your broken Linux and PeerTube lmao

Having a discussion about paying for things isn’t garbage. You’re just poor and salty.

No they didn’t. Please stop spreading this false rumour.

And remember… don’t be evil, and if you see something that you think isn’t right – speak up!

Love how Lemmy downvotes anyone who pays for anything. Such a great place for discussion! Definitely no echo chamber here.

I agree that the pricing doesn’t make sense unless you can split it, which is what I do.

Premium is $25 in Canada. You can add 5 people to your plan. That makes it $5 per month for each of us.

Personally I don’t buy cable or satellite TV, so I get most of my enjoyment from YouTube. So to me $5 per month is nothing, especially if you have something like Spotify which you can cancel and use YouTube Music, which is included in that $5.

If you have no friends and you’re the only one footing the bill, I agree that the pricing is a lot. At that point you just have to deal with the annoying ads.

I hate ads as much as anyone, but my question still remains for anyone who demands on blocking all ads and refusing to pay for premium, how do you expect servers and creators to be paid?

I know Google can technically afford it, but that’s not how businesses are run. You can’t take profits from one department to make up for the losses in another department, and as we know bandwidth is extremely expensive, and Google hosts an unbelievable amount of data, and free, too.

Like I’ve mentioned in the past, I have a bunch of videos uploaded to YouTube to share with family, and they are all private. Therefore Google is paying to store my videos, while making $0 from them, as they are not public and making any ad revenue.

I also know that Google is bad. Corporations suck. All that jazz. I just don’t understand why most of Lemmy users think everything should be free, but when asked about how these things are supposed to get funded, they go silent.

Lemmy itself won’t be around long if users refuse to donate to their instance, and refuse to view ads. Even if someone is hosting an instance in their basement, the cost of internet, replacement drives, maintenance, and electricity all add up.

It’s also the toxic community.

I was called a racist and holocaust denier because I asked someone how they expect YouTube servers to be paid for if you refuse to pay for premium, and don’t want to watch ads.

My comments were downvoted like crazy, and the person who called me a racist holocaust denier was upvoted…

Again, all because I asked a question about how servers should be paid for. What the actual fuck? Reddit is insanely toxic, but Lemmy takes the cake.

Canada doesn’t even give people on disability enough to afford rent, let alone groceries, power bills, car insurance, etc.

Maybe start there. Help the disabled survive.

With the way the Lemmy community treated him for releasing a “non-FOSS” app, I wouldn’t be surprised if he bailed. I would’ve.

I’d have to have an always listening Amazon device in my house to try, and that’s ridiculous.

You mean going off reading the title of a post on Lemmy and not actually looking into it?

Meanwhile I have 25ft cables running my large format vinyl printers lol

Ubuntu, one of the most popular Linux Distros, already did that.

Remember when Ubuntu had Amazon ads baked into the OS, and would send everything you typed in your dash to the web, to advertise to you? and it was enabled by default?

Or are we just hating on Windows?
