    Unfortunately this financing requires a populace widely adopting cryptocurrency…making it a pipe dream for mainstream use.

    Tips are generally a bad model as well, which creates an incentive for rapid and pandering work (like ad supported content).

    Patreon had frankly built all of YouTube that is worth watching. I think a simple payment system using real banks can be integrated into smaller hosting services.

    It’s all academic though, YouTube is unrivaled in ad revenue and helping you expand an audience.




  • I don’t disagree with any of this, but in this particular instance i do think it’s simply a reflection of reality. Biden’s whole strategy is win over dummy undecideds who can’t tell him and Trump apart, rather than excite his base for a good turnout.

    Fact is that strategy requires charisma, not brains. Biden’s running a strategy on his weakness. It’s doomed, which is impressive since Trump is so widely hated. Literally any other dem in there party is a better choice, save Jimmy Carter…

    Also KDE here, but largely without modifications from defaults. I turn off a few things, but more or less it’s exactly what i expect from a DE without taking up too many resources. I really buy in to the K-suite apps for almost everything too, so it all works together nicely.
