2019-01-27 13:45:43 UTC

2019-01-27 13:45:51 UTC  

let's call it... Tumblr

2019-01-27 13:45:53 UTC

2019-01-27 13:45:53 UTC

2019-01-27 13:45:54 UTC  

taken

2019-01-27 13:45:59 UTC  

please they can't even write an article that isn't a whiny diatribe about how life is unfair to them

2019-01-27 13:46:12 UTC  

i make my living on appstore, my life is hard enough already

2019-01-27 13:46:14 UTC  

they don't have the work ethic or attention span to learn code

2019-01-27 13:46:29 UTC  

one thing is bugging me about these layoffs though, are they because they can't afford it, or is this them trying to get ahad of future lawsuits now that can of worms has been opened up? the maga kids aren't the first incident of this

2019-01-27 13:46:50 UTC  

just culling all the people viewed as a liability

2019-01-27 13:46:54 UTC  

@Timcast Are you on Gab? If not are you ever going to go on Gab?

2019-01-27 13:47:04 UTC  

stop telling them to learn to code, poor devs will have to carry their ass throughout the development cycle then 😄

2019-01-27 13:47:06 UTC  

that would mean they'd have to drop their narcissistic lifestyle and actually do something useful. they need everything to be about them

2019-01-27 13:49:07 UTC  

btw, why Tim doesnt promote subscribe star, i thought they were back to business

2019-01-27 13:50:16 UTC  

**ThreeOfOne#5966** just left the server.

2019-01-27 13:50:46 UTC  

is subscribe star reliable, or are thy going to have their payment processing pulled again in the future?

2019-01-27 13:53:02 UTC  

no one knows what future brings, but i thought they did pay Tim his money and found a new payment processer

2019-01-27 13:53:53 UTC  

yeah, i was wondering if they're in a stable position to promote then without having to worry about it

2019-01-27 13:57:20 UTC  

if u're a threat to monopoly u can never be in a stable position

2019-01-27 13:59:44 UTC  

theres talks and rumors in ios/android circles about alternative app stores

2019-01-27 13:59:49 UTC  

alt tech is on the rise

2019-01-27 13:59:56 UTC  

fascinating stuff

2019-01-27 14:00:06 UTC  

"the desire for" alt tech is on the rise

FTFY

2019-01-27 14:00:50 UTC  

nah, there are some projects and investments and shit

2019-01-27 14:01:25 UTC  

lots of chinese money

2019-01-27 14:01:29 UTC  

going around

2019-01-27 14:01:44 UTC  

project and investments, does not a stable alternative make :(

let me clarify, stuff like youtube is hard to replace, because they aren't profitable, so theres no incentive for big money funding

2019-01-27 14:02:01 UTC  

i'm sure technically it's on the rise, but it can be argued about how significantly

2019-01-27 14:03:14 UTC  

cuz with a losing business model, you either have to have very dedicated/ambitious people to get the ball rolling

or make it open-source, and open source in my experience rarely creates a good final product

2019-01-27 14:03:50 UTC  

what makes u think that utube isnt profitable

2019-01-27 14:04:21 UTC  

scalability

2019-01-27 14:04:36 UTC  

maintenance costs are gonna be a drain compared to what you can get out of it for free

2019-01-27 14:05:12 UTC  

especially if you're not gonna use peoples data like google does

2019-01-27 14:05:27 UTC  

cuz thats their biggest profit margin in youtube,

Your user data, search information

2019-01-27 14:05:47 UTC  

and profit is a big word in that case, cuz youtube bleeds money

2019-01-27 14:06:49 UTC

2019-01-27 14:06:51 UTC  

and i'm not slagging off the potential, all i'm saying is that its effectively mountain-climbing

2019-01-27 14:07:13 UTC  

if they are bleeding, is it a self solving problem then?

2019-01-27 14:07:30 UTC  

depends what you mean with the problem

2019-01-27 14:07:43 UTC  

youtubes dominance and thereby their ability to censor
