The same "dumbasses" are likely DRM and subscription model advocates and in that way, they're already having lots of success on influencing company policies.
No.71699
>>71693>The same "dumbasses" are likely DRM and subscription model advocatesThat's a lot of unwarranted cynicism. I don't think there's that many people "advocating" for either. Everyone knows they're shit, including the people who use them. They stay around not because anyone loves them, but because they make money and most people don't give a shit.
No.71705
>>71693Not sure what complaining about embedding has to do with DRM and subscription models. If you hover over any of the videos on that site you can see the source and it's giving them views. There is the story of people who make mashup videos being forced to discontinue their work because copyright laws get in the way of art.
Are you suggesting that embedding videos is going to become a paid youtube feature eventually? Video authors can prevent people from viewing their sites through embeded links already.

when I was more interested in art I had a blog where I would analyze the artwork of popular hentai artists and try to understand why their work was good. It's still up and I get emails on errors from google search console and gets one or two clicks a week. Kind of neat how things like that exist.

whatever was popular at the time. Most of the quality artists are SEA and some are imitation Western. Everything I wrote was kind of what you'd find on Sankaku except I was trying to learn art theory.

>>75602It lets you download things from the steam workshop. So, imagine you have a game you bought through GOG (or more likely torrented), but wanted to use some mods only on the steam workshop. Well, all you need to do is just paste in the steam workshop URL, and then the site gives you the files in a zip so you don't need to have the game on steam to get them.

>>71687>It's both hillarious and unsettling to know that if Google were to ever listen to these dumbasses youtube content would never be able to be linked from anywhere else on the web.We're already experiencing that now. Most music videos and any other promotional content that isn't by a regular content creator but rather a corporation have pretty much disabled embedding. Now with this dislike button gone as well, who knows what the state of YouTube just will be in the next year or two. It's already an unusable piece of trash. Really need to get people to start uploading on alternatives more now than ever. Archive anything you can and reupload it everywhere too. Get as many people away from YouTube as possible.
No.80518
>>80513>Archive anything you can and reupload it everywhere too.This is the thing that worries me the most of YouTube going stupid. There's just way too much there. YouTube has been around for almost 17 years now, and has an endless amount of content. If it ever goes down, or decides to self-sabotage itself and delete a bunch of stuff, or some other thing happens, I don't think it would be an exaggeration to say that an irreparable amount of information will be lost.
No.80541
>>80518Same here, but they do remove important content and channels go down every single day. There was a wave of people who deleted their channels back in 2019 worrying over legal stuff when the whole COPPA thing was going on. People kept telling others that they would get lawsuits on videos if it was marked for kids or not marked for kids. I know it became a whole nothing case but a lot of people went insane worrying about it back then.

https://www.stat.go.jp/english/index.htmlThis pretty neat. I guess they collect a bunch of data and create public reports on stuff. It's nice that they release monthly population estimates too. It makes the US seems really slow seeing as we only do a proper census every 4 years and then just go off of that until the next one while guesstimating inbetween.

https://www.spriters-resource.com/I can't remember bookmarking this one, but it looks like it's something like archive.org that lets you look at old websites? The default one is nintendo.com and it works. Looks like it has some related sites, too, that could be interesting.
