  claimed an objective opinion, and that supposed to have data and a study to back it

  Not “someone”. Me. And I linked to the paper, which itself had many links to other studies backing up my claim. You essentially said “nuh uh, more sources” without providing any of your own. Your bad faith arguments don’t work here, go back to Xitter.

  so let’s get the data and compare

  Haha, you’re hilarious. Yes, let’s get the data. You first. You’re really good at telling other people to go get data and sources. Show us how it’s done.

  My brother in christ, drones are all over that paper. Have you read an academic paper before? Do you know how to follow sources in papers? Tell you what, you go find some sources of your own and we can compare. Sitting back and saying “nuh uh” ain’t gonna do it. Put up or shut up.

  Yes, I do. Here you go champ.

  Objectively yes.

  This is the same reason that you never touch something that looks like a carrot plant in the wild

  That’s funny. I was just thinking to myself “Fuck all this mushroom noise. I’ll just stick to eating carrots, no way to mistake those for something else.” I guess I’ll die quickly in the coming apocalypse.

  For a second I thought you meant never showed up as in your pihole can’t print to it. I was mildly surprised when my pihole automatically recognized and configured my brother printer on my network. But now that you mention it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it black holed in my query log either!

  I would imagine a lot of it has to do with food scarcity. There weren’t trucks and boats and planes to fly food back then. You had to eat what was available in your specific patch of dirt. If there aren’t a lot of options, and what is available can make you sick, you might start trying to prepare it and eat it in different ways until it stops making you sick.

  For most people, rhubarb is one of hundreds of options of things to buy from a grocery store. To our ancient ancestors, it may have been one of a small handful of things that grow where they live, and therefore a necessity to figure out how to eat it.

  At the end of the day, Google’s paying them more for my views than if I were an ad-viewing user. So for ~$20/mo (for family plan), that’s much more financially viable for me than if I were to pay $1/mo to all 100+ creators I watch.

  Are you trolling? It feels like you are. If you’re paying $20/mo for premium, and you’re using an arbitrary amount of $1 as the donation minimum per creator, then why not just donate $1 to 20 different creators for each month? Then the next month, donate to the next 20 creators, then the next 20, and so on.

  It seems like you’re trying to argue some moral high ground of funding content you enjoy on youtube. That’s fine. But it takes about 10 seconds of critical thinking to find ways to do it where you pay the same, the creators get paid more, and google gets paid nothing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Facepalm⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As much as I would love to support all of those creators directly, it’s not a financially viable option for me.

  No one’s suggesting you pay more than what you’re paying now. I simply suggested you pay them directly. Take whatever you’re paying per month/year to google directly, then divide that up and contribute directly to the creators of your choosing.

  which is more than they’d get from me if I was adblocking their videos

  Now you’re moving the goalposts. No one is arguing against the fact that content creators get some amount of money from ads and subscriptions. The argument was that donating to them directly is better / more revenue for the creators, since google doesn’t get a cut. You spend the same amount, the creators get paid more, google gets paid nothing.

  It’s bizarre how you are such an apologist for google.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Facepalm⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You could just, you know, send those creators money directly. Nearly all of them have methods set up for that already, and I’m guessing anyone who doesn’t would set something up in a hurry if you asked to donate to them.

  It’s a win / win. You get to sit on your moral high ground, the creators get paid, Google can fuck off.
