It doesn't. Maybe try with something more obscure. It is a phenomenon called frequency bias (it has different names)

Automatics suck less. Why am I constantly trying to change gears of the transmission system?

Chess and actual war has some similarities at the very abstract level like space control, initiative, gambits etc but other than that trying to make some romantic parallels is too much and a bit ridiculous.

Do you have any source of this scheme?

Support page clearly explains about revenue sharing, I don't see anything about pooling:

Do you have numbers to back your claim?

Afaik From ad revenue channels get 55%. They also get money from premium subscribers depending on how much time they spent on channel. I wouldn't call it peanuts.

Note that in the Phoronix post it also mentions in the modern and demanding Jetstream benchmark, Firefox is still way behind. While seeing improvements is good, Sunspider is a very old microbenchmark not sure how relevant it is.

How is your rant has anything to do with the subject? Do you have a shred of evidence to support your claim?

1,000,000,000ng = 1g

I am in the industry for a very very long time. Maybe that is the reason, as I have heard (or made) similar jokes made several times in meeting rooms, on coffe breaks etc. Maybe I got too numb in general.

I appreciate his comics, some are definitely alright.

What I meant was that the humor of these comics did not appeal to me, but maybe that could change if I read more of it.

The humor is a bit of an acquired taste I guess.

You forgot to mention that it was converted to a mosque in 1453 and stayed like that until 1930s. It was the symbol of the victory by Mehmet II.

Exactly my thoughts, cliches, bad humor, and merch ads. I'll pass.

It is utter fud / bs.

"But simply saying "if prices look high to me it must mean corruption" is very naive."

Naive or not, this turns out to be true surprisingly frequently.

IMO, the claimed price is never to cover these so called "testing for requirements", It is a random / maximum amount they can charge basically. Sure they could give you a nice explanation that looks nice on paper, but it is rarely true. It is always the smoke and mirrors bullshit that happens for government contracts.

I think it was an attempt of a joke.

Or, a simpler explanation: "corruption".

Hm if he has 1.8 million subscribers, I wonder how small is " small amount of revenue from his affiliate links" for him.

Hm not really funny, but each to their own I guess.

I always thought when people mentions lab leak theory they meant an accident. Never heard the bio weapon thing before honestly.

Some of your points might have merit, but your tone is very off putting.

The reddit web on mobile is a sad experience, before it was possible to shut its continuously asking about installing the app but they removed the option. Now it always asks to use the app when I navigate to reddit. And no, I don't want to use any app to read it.

I would love to see your update to this comment after you and your family starves for a while and waiting for something to fill your niche.

Actually better, because I share it with my family and no one has to deal with installing / configuring adblockers on different platforms (mobile app, TV, laptops whatever) It also includes Music so together I think it is a pretty good deal. Prices in some countries are ridiculously cheap as well (<$2 monthly in India, Turkey) , but of course that could change in time.

My only problem is the sponsored content in youtube videos, I would give some extra money to skip that crap as well.

Some of the best chess tutorials and commentaries, music from favorite bands?

Content creators get paid as well, but I don't think you care about that either.

You just want to have the cake and eat it I guess, which is fine as well.

"YouTube Premium fails because the content isn't worth paying for."

Are you serious?

Just wait a few months. You are underestimating thousands of researches and engineers only working on this with enormous compute budgets in several companies.

Look what happened to image generators, no one talks about Dall-e or whatever that was.
