you should differentiate between types of AI

2018-01-20 06:20:16 UTC  

as someone who's been studying radio formats, I have to say 40 percent advertisement is pretty steep. The format for most programming, radio or TV, is 25 percent.

2018-01-20 06:24:07 UTC  

Also, you could possibly post videos to your patreon ad-free, or with reduced advertising

2018-01-20 13:21:39 UTC  

its not 40% though

2018-01-20 13:22:03 UTC  

its 14%

2018-01-20 13:23:11 UTC  

right now every video has an ad in the beginning

2018-01-20 13:23:21 UTC  

the promo videos replace google ads with direct ads from me

2018-01-20 13:31:34 UTC  

Only issue being that even Google's ads can be easily skipped 5 seconds in, unless the ad is really short.

2018-01-20 13:34:27 UTC  

youtube red's obnoxious ads a few years ago single handedly got me to install adblock

2018-01-20 13:36:16 UTC  

dont worry, i disable adblock for my favorite youtubers

2018-01-20 13:36:48 UTC  

unless youtube is on a "you have bug eyes" ad spree then i just throw my monitor across the room

2018-01-20 13:40:46 UTC  

anyone not paying attention to Qanon, what are you doing? https://qcodefag.github.io/ Together We Are Strong

2018-01-20 14:56:32 UTC  

what are you talking about?

2018-01-20 16:04:19 UTC  

btw @Timcast I love how your using your need for revinue to also make people aware of vpns. They are needed now more then ever in this growingly 1984 era

2018-01-20 16:04:36 UTC  

Also a huge fan, and im actually far right wing XD

2018-01-20 16:25:40 UTC  

πŸ€” VPNs are actually not that useful

2018-01-20 16:26:47 UTC  

basically useless if you are using a VPN for the internet unless you were trying to bypass geo-lock

2018-01-20 16:26:49 UTC  

They are a step in the right direction

2018-01-20 16:27:04 UTC  

wdym?

2018-01-20 16:27:28 UTC  

I mean that its a step in the direction to remove restrictions that its a method of gaining back a messure of freedom

2018-01-20 16:28:02 UTC  

and in this day and age even a step in the right direction feels like a leap

2018-01-20 16:28:19 UTC  

it doesn't remove any restrictions unless you are in a country that actually censors

2018-01-20 16:28:22 UTC  

like china

2018-01-20 16:29:11 UTC  

well alot of european nations censor these days as well as alot of the regional blocking on sites like youtube

2018-01-20 16:29:39 UTC  

YT's geo blocking still works if you are using a VPN iirc

2018-01-20 16:29:45 UTC  

same with amazon

2018-01-20 16:29:52 UTC  

I do conceed that its not an amazing step forward lol

2018-01-20 16:30:02 UTC  

I just think that awareness of options is good =p

2018-01-20 16:30:50 UTC  

it's not really a step forward though, it just mitigates full censorship

2018-01-20 16:31:11 UTC  

a step forward would be protocols and technologies that prevent both censorship and throttling

2018-01-20 16:31:15 UTC  

Which in this climate of increasing censorship is a step forward

2018-01-20 16:31:31 UTC  

Oh I whole heartedly agree

2018-01-20 16:31:43 UTC  

the US doesn't fully censor anything besides pedophiles and drug dealers

2018-01-20 16:31:52 UTC  

so idk what you mean

2018-01-20 16:32:01 UTC  

Websites are begining to censor

2018-01-20 16:32:09 UTC  

not really

2018-01-20 16:32:09 UTC  

deciding what can and can not be said or seen

2018-01-20 16:32:55 UTC  

if you are referring to the daily stormer, they actually violated the ToS of their DNS provider

2018-01-20 16:33:08 UTC  

lol no im not im just noticing the trends

2018-01-20 16:33:29 UTC  

ok but

2018-01-20 16:33:37 UTC  

a VPN doesn't stop websites from censoring
