Mark has always been icky for me. I watch these kinds of videos almost excellently - the science-tech ones; yet I avoid him like the plague.

That price wouldn’t even begin to cover it. Infrastructure is expensive at that quality. Engineers to maintain such infrastructure are also expensive. Content creators make a ton of money too. Their profits are much lower compared to peers - https://mannhowie.com/youtube-valuation

Also, 22$/month gets you a family plan for 5 people so wtf are you talking about?

I don’t give 2 shits about YouTube, I use ad block where I can too. I’m just saying that people who complain about YouTube’s anti-adblock stuff are being unrealistic, you can’t fault them for trying to block people from stealing from them.

Are you saying that the ads shouldn’t be video ads but webpage ads, instead?

It’s their job.

Yeah, exactly why they are enforcing anti-adblock rules…

How do you propose YouTube should pay for infrastructure costs (servers, Internet etc), staff costs (engineers, designers, moderators) and the content creators?

Coincidentally I’m on a train too and the whole train car is complaining about me furiously masturbating at the picture.

WDYM? Common Vietnamese W

I don’t know what you are even arguing. My point is India is democratic and secular despite being flawed. Do you not agree with that? If you don’t agree with that, why are you worried about the word “secular” being removed? How does it matter anyway?

Your incident counting means nothing - India has 1.4B people. Obviously you can find more cases LMAO.

My point is India is democratic and secular - and that’s an achievement in South Asia (that’s why compared to Pakistan). And that has made it more developed. So democracy and secularism are good ideals to fight for.

If India is not better off than Pakistan and Bangladesh, might as well let BJP make it non secular like them? Why bother fighting it?

Right, so went from “no persecution” to “police addressed it”. Cool cool. Can you point me to perpetrators of the genocide being punished?

I am wondering this too. I can’t imagine why they would be this sloppy. It’s also possible that it is one executive who is trying to save himself and maybe throw someone else under the bus.

no refugees

Not true - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_immigration_to_India

fall to the Hindu majority who would nationilze around their identity and oppress everyone else which is exactly what happend

It’s not even close to that. For sure there needs to be big improvements in minority rights but it’s not even close to what Pakistan (and Bangladesh) are. India is heavily flawed but still has a functional democracy and secular state while not a single PM in Pakistan has completed a full term. Lol like they are not even comparable. If anything, India is an achievement of secularism and a good example of why you should separate the church and state.

just gives credit for Pakistan’s purpose

Now that is a circular argument because the nationalists say “look at Pakistan and Bangladesh, Muslims got that, why aren’t we getting one?”. So creation of Pakistan is what gives credit to their argument.

For its purpose of avoiding being an oppressed minority, it succeded.

Did they? Do Pakistani Muslims lead better life than Indian Muslims?

aren’t facing any persecution

Except the genocide, lynching etc. am I right? LMAO

How exactly?

They claim that they are doing this to help non-muslim refugees fleeing places like Pakistan. Their claim is that they can’t accommodate all refugees so the first preference is for non-muslims being persecuted.

If Pakistan didn’t exist, this persecution wouldn’t be there?

I don’t understand why this comment is inevitably under every Tiktok thread. Everyone knows Big Tech spies for the govt especially the lawmakers, precisely why they don’t want a hostile foreign govt doing it.

China knows this too - that’s why FB, Google etc are banned there. So what’s your point?

Nah. Short penis privilege 😎

What is it?

I sit on the toilet to pee at home. Why do all guys just not do that? It’s better in every way.

Jesus Christ. Only on Lemmy, lol.

Is that joke that on a cosmic level, it’s mostly hydrogen and helium (?) so others get ignored, like how genders other than the usual 2 get ignored? If so, that’s so smart and funny, wow.

Or is it something else that I’m not getting?

Nice post history, OP. Not unhinged at all.

that it’s a cultural issue

So when white people say racist things, it’s a one off shithead person. But when brown people do crimes, it must be in their culture, got it.

We can get #NotAllIndians trending

How about we don’t make it about their skin color or “culture” so that we wouldn’t have to do?

By your arguments you’re saying article like this are bullshit hysteria with zero basis in reality?

Not bullshit, never claimed that. Only thing I’m saying is that violence against women is a problem everywhere, not special about Indians. And making it about them is unhelpful and harmful.

That take is super chill and not victim blamey at all. I mean, these “victims” were probably asking for it. Got it

Oof damn talk about putting words in my mouth. Crazy that you want to die on this hill so bad and all based on “the data is wrong” and “my friends said they were sketchy”. Since you are resorting to things I didn’t say to attack me, I’ve realized that this is a waste of time. Good luck - make sure to practice your bigotry in silence, though - unlike this shithead professor but like thousands of professors who are not shithead enough to put it in writing. That will definitely help everyone.
