you can thank the non-paying youtube members who made post like this possible

absolutely zero value to YouTube this is not true. non-paying users will like, comment, share to others making the platform more popular. and if they're ads were less intrusive they would actually be more likely to be shown.

half of the websites are google-owned

there's dozens of gaming subreddits already though. like truegaming or something else. i don't think many existing subreddits will do this. i do think nsfw creators will paywall their posts

however if reddit goes that route i hope OF sues apple/google. I don't like how some nsfw apps like reddit or x are allowed but others aren't

bots take resources to serve just like any regular user

combine card with 2fa on mobile or confirm via sms would solve most problems

Physical releases wouldn't make a difference on console, not being on steam and gog is a missed opportunity

how? open ai isn't funneling views to news sites it ripped from

ads cost money to increase users to eventually profit from them later.

how would a decentralized lemmy profit from the increased users.

Any money spent on ads would be better off hiring more engineering resources and improving lemmy for the next time Reddit does something dumb prompting an exodus.

i thought 2 was much more mechanically rich but this is a dissonance issue with the fun-loving crew that can kill.

luckily you can play the game using non-lethal methods and stealth so it works, but ubisoft wont commit fully.

not every game you own can be used this way.

because you have to extrapolate.

publishers don't want you to own games just lease them so they can deprecate games and make you upgrade when they want to.

also no more mods or cheatengine to enhance the game or bypass microtransactions
