Books are not nearly as addictive as social media though.
I would say when you start hiring people for monthly salaries rather than for specific tasks.
The median household income in the US is like 83K, which means half of all households survive with less than that. And most households have two earners. Even New York City has a median household income of ~80K. Half of…
If a native speaker didn't pass a C2 exam, it's not because they don't understand the language well enough, it's because they are bad at reading/writing as a skill and might make e.g. spelling mistakes. Any native…
The thing that makes this illogical to me is that once you reach basic fluency, you stop needing to study since you will now be automatically improving your language skills every time you hold a conversation, read a…
I would disagree about it not being "easy". Learning a language certainly takes time and effort, but the fact that even the dumbest people in society can speak fluently, that literal toddlers learn languages, shows that…
Yeah, B1 is not even nearly fluent, on my B1 exam Spanish I had to roleplay with the examinator going to a store to return something after buying the wrong item. This is like, bare minimum of functioning. I cannot…

This is very obvious any time you try to create exhaustive lists of something. For example, for every country in the world, I would recognize it and say, yeah, thats a country. But if I had to write all ~200 countries…
Its very true for humans as well. For example, if you ask someone to "name 100 historical figures", they will have a very difficult time. But there are of course hundreds of historical figures people woukd recognize.…
The strongest endorsement for PeerTube is that it cannot sustain creators and thus will only either 1) freeboot off of platforms that do or 2) be flooded by low effort slop?
I think this is the only way for new platforms to ever rise in this space. A video sharing website is not a social media platform, it's a streaming platform. The real competitors to YouTube are not PeerTube or whatever,…
The problem with this is that creating the content you watch costs a lot of money and labor. As a user I would see a grocery store where everything is free as an advantage... utill the products inevitably run out and no…
Sponsorships are definitely the highest if a youtuber actively engages in them, ad revenue vs patreon depends highly on if you have i.e. a small but highly active fanbase of core fans, versus a wider more general…
If YouTube becomes a quarantine for high-quality content, then it will also become a quarantine for viewers. the fundamental issue a lot of people here don't seem to get is that high quality videos that people want to…
I think the problem is that the "act" of a lot of streamers and content creators is that they are relatable, in the sense that, part of watching a video game streamer is the appeal of, he's just a guy like me playing…
Yeah, I think a lot of people on Hackernews fall into the "advertising never worked on me" or "I'm too smart for propaganda" camp. Clickbait is not just big red arrows and "OMG" in the title. It certainly can be, for…
Well, do you want a platform people watch videos on, or a platform people simply upload videos to, never to be seen?
This is just a great example of people who aren't in content creation fundamentally not understanding the ecosystem. This isn't about "over-produced thumbnail-bait". This is about all high-quality media. You mention…
It's not about people "trying to make money", it's about viewers wanting to see high quality videos. High quality videos just cost a lot of money and labor to produce. There is simply no way around this. Any platform…
The problem is that big creators have many subscribers, because they're the only ones making videos people want to watch. If a channel has 100 subscribers - (except if it's a brand new channel) - it's because people saw…
The problem is that all of those accounts that don't earn money don't earn money because they get no views, because they make videos no one wants to watch. I don't know the exact statistics but a simple Google search…
About as likely as opening a grocery store where people can pay through voluntary donations. I'm a professional YouTuber. The problem with a "donation" system is that, unlike something like tweets or even blog posts…
As a professional YouTuber, the main issue I instantly see with this is the lack of monetization. I think people who don't make videos for a living severely underestimate how expensive it is to produce high-quality…
The problem is that not all parents are "concerned parents" and children dont deserve to be taken advantage of by trillion dollar corporations for the crime of having bad parents.
