When I tried it in the past, I kinda didn't take it seriously because everything was confined to its instance, but now, there's full-featured global search and proper federation everywhere? Wow, I thought I heard there were some technical obstacles making it very unlikely, but now it's just there and works great! I asked ChatGPT and it says this feature was added 5 years ago! Really? I'm not sure how I didn't notice this sooner. Was it really there for so long? With flairs showing original instance where video comes from and everything?

Counter point: I dont want to watch content that has a monetary incentive behind it.

Why exactly do you think people create content for you to consume in the first place?

[–] MouldyCat@feddit.uk 20 points 6 days ago (15 children)

Sharing knowledge. Lots of people are not primarily motivated by greed.

of course... but plenty are. When you see kids at school saying they want to be content creators as a job you know it is only going to get worse. I never said it was right or wrong but it is exactly what it is for a large percentage of people. Also can't get past the fact that like googling something, watching a video on youtube is literally in peoples vocabulary

I don't want to watch the people who aspire to do it as a job. They saw some influences online who are profit driven and think they can get similarly rich. Many see it as an easy job (it's not).

I want to watch people motivated by their thirst for creativity and sharing knowledge, and if money comes their way they will see it as secondary. I would prefer them to do something else as a job.
