The Ground app
Ignoring all common sense approaches to staying competitive by using simple, textbook ideas of strategic management does negatively impact growth.
Imagine that!
They’re the same picture
Likewise for cringe so look in the mirror
The demographics you described can understand why it’s important to be part of the fediverse, so they come here.
Your typical npc walking down the street just doesn’t get it, and they’re fine with all the awful things that drive us away from mainstream social media.
On mobile newpipe is a good option too
He is not human
So far.
Sometimes I’m reclining and I figure “hey I could play a game on my phone!”
Then, 20 seconds in at the best, I get hit with an ad and remember why I don’t play mobile games.
Land has value, and thus comes with a price. Equipment doesn’t spring forward from creativity and hard work alone - it also requires materials, and besides that, you have to pay for people’s innovation and hard work when buying equipment.
So I agree with piracy, however one thing to keep in mind is that our economy and productivity are only in existence because of the land and equipment (as well as the labor) that it takes to produce them.
If 100% of income went to the workers, there’s nothing to pay for equipment and land that is also necessary for production. Ugly as capitalism is, the end result is a productive economy. A lot of the wealth is captured in land and equipment.
Now, you can argue that the workers should own the land and means of production. That I could agree with. But you simply can’t produce anything without paying for land and equipment plus labor.
I DO WHAT I WANT CAUSE A PIRATE IS FREE
I get that, but the reasons for moving towards fediverse away from mainstream social media, which everyone here should now be well-versed in, are so obvious that you’d have to be an idiot at this point to stay on reddit and use the official app.
Like, you’d have to be an absolute idiot at this point.
The average user does not care enough about the reasons that drive people off the mainstream social media - in short, they’re idiots. So, no, these won’t replace the shitty mainstream solutions, because most people just have no clue that they really should.
As if progressives aren’t unhinged and hateful. Just ask how they feel about het cis white people.
If you’re missing that feeling, find a politics sub and advocate for conservatism.
Honestly, and I hate this, but I doubt they will. The majority of people will never go federated, even though it’s so easy, because they suck.
I block YouTube ads via newpipe or brave, haven’t had any problems.
People like you and I are very rare. Advertising is effective. About 5% of people buy something because of any given ad (if you think about it, even we can probably admit to buying something now and then after seeing an ad). If you pay a little to reach millions of people, that converts into a really good ROI.
It’s called being a satellite
