Let's do this.

@chrismerkel Fair enough, and that's one of the other biggest issues with Peertube at the moment. But my understanding is, for many YouTube creators anyway, Ad revenue is a pretty small fraction of their income. Obviously I can't say much on that for Alec specifically.
Also the viewership is so low, I doubt it would even make much of a difference at the moment. Obviously that could change in the future but he could always stop uploading to Peertube, or find some other monetization strategy.
@techindepth27 Creating a diverse income stream is absolutely top of mind for most creators. YouTubes algo is stunningly arbitrary and I've seen amazing creators get absolutely rinsed for not adapting content to their opaque whims.
I love the idea of peertube and would love even more to see advertising and payments tech come to the fediverse, becuse the power to decide wether to see ad-supported content, or make micropayments is better than a monolithic platform only designed for revenue generation.

@TechConnectify Well said.
-
@TechConnectify@mas.to so good that I'd like to subscribe twice
-
@TechConnectify yaaaay, feature film length!
-
FUCK YEAH!!!
This is a long video and well worth it to watch the whole thing, but if you want to see @TechConnectify absolutely unload about everything going on in uspol, jump to 1:16:35 mark!
-
Thank you so much for this.
-
@TechConnectify curious what it your take on the airborn wind turbines? I recently saw one in a video and wasn't sure if it is AI or not, but quick search showed that it is a real technology and it looks WEIRD
-
@TechConnectify Oh, my favorite YouTuber who sits in the front of my socks with a great video again! (About 50% through and need to make a break for Formula E in a minute.)
Thanks for all you do, this is great!
@TechConnectify Oh fuck, the second half of this video goes hard. Thank you very much. As an inheritant of German Fascism I appreciate that you are speaking out. Sending love to you and my other friends in the US.
-
Well done.
-
@TechConnectify That rant was absolutely necessary. Thank you for daring to speak up.
-
@TechConnectify In regards of your closing statement, you are still too nice about it. Whatever ICE has become resembles the Sturmabteilung which became quite powerful in German in the mid 1920s. It's paramilitary terrorising journalists, opposition and people deemed unworthy.
I'm not certain, if peaceful resistance is going to suffice.
And please get yourself solar cells on your roof. That is an opportunity for multiple videos and rants against dongled inverters and similar bullshit.
Thanks:) -
@TechConnectify
The technology stuff in this video was awesome, as usual.
The rest was.. well.. even better! -
@TechConnectify Fuck yeah, love from Minneapolis my friend.
-
@TechConnectify thank you!
-
@TechConnectify omg someone using math and basic common sense to discuss renewable energy - immediate follow!
If anyone wants to dive deeper into the land use/biofuels discussion, Oxford just recently published a good analysis
TLDR - if we put solar on the land currently used for biofuels, we would have enough electricity for ALL vehicles to be electric
Biofuels for transport is straight nonsense

@TechConnectify As a German that part about learning from history hit home.
-
@TechConnectify Just watched it, thanks for all the effort, this gives me hope and strength to keep on. There must be more people that share this values
-
The comments here have already said most of what I want to say. I still want to add my voice to those saying: this is important, this is well argued, and this is necessary in our current climate.
I truly believe this could be a perspective shifting video for a lot of people, not just in America. I will share it far and wide. Thank you so much for you contributions to this discussion.
Staying after the credits roll is a must for those who truly value progress.

@TechConnectify I was gonna make a joke about I hope he explains the refrigeration cycle again but that last 30 minutes was everything I could ask for

@TechConnectify one of my key takeaways from the video, aside from what already is stated in the video itself,, is how easily i am personally affected by propaganda and how important keeping my own voice alive is.
for a while now, i felt it was rather useless to put my own views out, and i would stay content thinking/knowing that i am right. and that's one thing a well crafted propaganda intends to achieve, to put enough noise out that people start thinking that they can't change anything.
your videos inspire me to see things more clearly, to not ignore things because i am used to them, and as a consequence to make more informed decisions. and today i was able to see how easy it was to steer me away from some obvious truth.
great video, as usual.
