I guess his flavour of tainment just doesn’t jam well with me. Like I said, it’s not the subject matter, but the content just feels needlessly padded. Compare this to videos by Tom Scott, CGP Grey, Matt Parker, Steve Mould, etc. Those videos are far more dense with content It reminds me of how mythbusters gets so much better once you take out the narrator and the endless recaps…

Regarding clickbait - to me a title this one is just another symptom of that disregard for the viewers time. Being coy and mysterious about the subject matter to lure people in. And yeah, hat’s probably why it works.

I agree that the production values are incredibly high. But I just can’t stand being treated like a simpleton who needs drama to be tricked into watching videos, it feels very patronising.

I feel the same way. I feel like I would love his subject matters he picks, but he’s being so disrespectful of the viewers time that I can’t stand it. Just the clickbait title alone is enough to put me off.

I was gonna post a list of other things that happened on July 9 2025, but it was all kinda depressing.

The post ended with “stay tuned”. Do you have any update for us, OP?

To me it reads like “I’m going to move abroad if x wins the elections.”

Actions speak louder than words, but even then I don’t really care what you do in your personal life. Wake me if you need help or have something useful to share.

Or option C: there’s a discussion going on about an open source project, and you’re starting a discussion about the semantics of the word fascist/asshole, without taking a clear stance on what you mean. I didn’t downvote you, but I also have no idea what you were going for with that statement. It seems unrelated.

For the past half hour I tried to read into what’s happened, and who the supposed fascists are, and these are the facts I managed to uncover. I hope it will serve anyone who reads this well:

1. Communities are gonna drama.
2. Moderating is hard and (paraphrasing Douglas Adams) anyone who wants to do it, shouldn’t be allowed to.
3. I really don’t care enough to waste more time on this.

For me it’s just generic influencer dislike. Wouldn’t go as far as hate though. It’s just that I pre-emptively don’t care about what they have to say. Clickbaity titles “this is why…” (without explaining why) certainly don’t help.

In other words, clickbait?

So… How can you possibly justify that start button?

I’d say that federation is the core principle of the network, so centralisation by piling all the users and content onto one server is very undesirable.
(also looking at you, lemmy.world)

uh huh-huh.

Because triggered and hate circlejerk.

It sucks that it overshadows the actual news.

On the plus side, this post serves as a wonderful tool to clean up some garbage users/servers.

Damn, those are not rookie numbers!

I hope they managed to grab some content creators.

Now that sounds like the job for an extension, since for most users “stfu and always apply the fix” would be the preferred option.

How about, if you want a broken version of Firefox, you compile it yourself, rather than let everyone else suffer?
Like, the vast majority of browser users don’t even know what an extension is, let alone install one.

I like the thought, but I can’t imagine that most people will enjoy getting even more popups when they load up a site, especially when they come from the browser itself.

Just take a look at OP here. If they responds this way to settings that are there for their actual benefit - just imagine how much they’ll like those popups.

Awww, it learned to write a word without understanding what it means.

Yeah fair enough. Key part was “arcs that go nowhere”. I got so incredibly tired of TV shows that think the way to do mystery is drawing out plot far too slowly, in hopes you’ll tune in next episode.

Then again, regarding new trek, I only watched season 1 of Discovery, and the first episode of Picard. I ain’t got no patience for this.
