this is not feasible even in China

Since alternatives that manage traffic in a better way exist, such as peertube and odysee, google can burn in hell, it’s a shitty company that slows down competition, I don’t give anything to a company that spends its budget on bullshit as manifest V3. I pay the creators with PayPal or Patreon, not with 70% of a subscription.

If only they didn’t demonetize creators who accidentally say whatever SJWs don’t like.

Or remove the slowdowns they deliberately applied to those who use Firefox (it’s not a conspiracy, they really did it).

It would just be enough that Google aren’t sons of bitches and I would probably also be happy to pay youtube premium.

I prefer to pay my favorite creators with donations, patreon or merchandise.

You can buy a DIY opensource 3D printer that can print on paper by putting a pen where the extruder is and use some open source software to convert text in GCODE.

yes, but singleboard computers take up less space, make less noise and have almost non-existent energy consumption

It’s used by my father for some old porn and the colourful progressbars.

if you want DRM-free, bandcamp is the best way, but for “exploring” subscribing to spotify is the best way in terms of quantity, and it doesn’t pay much less than other DRMs even if it has a monopoly, and is not from the USA or China

Here you can compare other services if you are interested in how much money goes to the creators: https://streamingcalculator.com/ or https://www.musicgateway.com/royalties-calculator

otherwise if you don’t want to pay, youtube + soundcloud with adblock is the best solution. or if you really have a lot of time you can make your own self-hosted pod on funkwhale: https://docs.funkwhale.audio/administrator/index.html

I have to find the time to do it, I had seen jellyfin as a solution, but I also have to find something that acts as a server, my raspberry pi 3B+ is not powerful enough for 1080p+ streaming

Tell me what type of society you are imagining please, in the real world it is already difficult for the average entrepreneur not to evade VAT on at least 30% of his purchases, because if we don’t talk about Nordic countries or Switzerland then I don’t see it feasible how people can accept even more interventions from the government in their lives.

I regret convincing my parents to subscribe to Netflix instead of using Torrent or Emule. Fuck these fucking companies that now cost more than bluerays and broadcast content with crappy quality if you don’t have a platform that knows how much you’re shitting yourself

the dyson airblade v is good
