Too bad digg failed a second time

like a union. almost as if unions were created to protect the working class in the first place from these fat cats doing excatly this

TV over the air had ads to pay for the TV shows and channels you watched because they couldn’t really secure the signal they sent out. but also it wasn’t really supposed to be secure in the first place. but TV production was expensive. so you got commercials, ads and sponsors when you watched.

then cable TV came about. cable TV was supposed to be ad free because you were paying. but then they would have had to fill in for segments when over the air TV was showing ads so instead of that they just showed the same ads and got paid for it. that’s double dipping.

not defending youtube or ads in general, but technically the ad companies don’t pay unless the ad is viewed/served, or only pay depending on how much of the ad is viewed. they aren’t double dipping like this is implying.

youtube is only getting paid if an ad is shown, and depending on the duration of the ad only for the duration of the ad that is shown to the end user. for like s skippable ad, for the first 30 seconds you can’t skip they get paid for that 30 seconds, but if ithe ad is longer say a minute, but the skip button appears after 30 and you press the skip button youtube only gets paid for the 30seconds the ad was displayed. if you don’t skip then they get paid for the amount of time the ad was shown.

if you pay for youtube premium, then they don’t show ads, they don’t get paid for ads not shown. but that’s why you are giving them money. to compensate for the “lost revenue” they aren’t getting from ads.

and for things like adblockers, the ads are not served therefore don’t qualify for being billed and youtube doesn’t get paid. and youtube pays channels based on performance of ads being displayed, and that’s why a lot of channels have both ad spots and sponsor segments. that and youtube doesn’t pay real good for ad revenue unless you are a huge channel.

and then sponsor block skips sponsor sections for you and some sponsors/channels don’t care the contract was do a sponsor segment and those contracts are outside of youtube itself so youtube doesn’t get paid for them, that’s why there isn’t a sponsor skip action when you pay for premium. but i fear sponsors will corrupt and start doing contracts where they track how many times a segment was viewed and pay out based on that metric too.

good thing the government is wasting all them in another pointless ‘not-war’ over oil in the middle east

nah, evaporation will rain down at some point. this wealth transfer only goes up

so Sega won’t be releasing any more games on PS5 or any games on PS6 then? xbox, switch and PC only from now on i guess

same. not on the list and got temporary banned today lol

so is canada. at least the province of ontario. “just one more lane will fix all traffic” for the past 20 years, im sick of hearing about it

i’d rather just a bunch of protestros whowed up and heckled him from the water. he can’t make them leave, his family doesn’t get paid money, and his neighbours would be pissed off

oh, the cheques from AI data centers cleared then

don’t forget that’s his second cottage, the first is right beside it, on the left, and his daughter lists it on airbnb.

should have been the end 2 years ago. but half the damn province didn’t go out and vote. and now we have another 3 years of this asshole and his plan to destroy ontario

i love seeing a wild Canadian Geoff Thew, “professional shitbag” sighting

we’ll rename the cars to “pods”

easier to fire humans an integrate humanoid robots instead of replacing the entire assembly line machinery in a factory. and probably cheaper.

you know you are already on the internet, you could do a google search and learn about these plug in balcony solar kits yourself. your browsers search bar is literally right there.

the point of these balcony solar kits isn’t to make fucking money, or to put electricity onto the grid. the point and how they work is your household appliances will use the electricity from the balcony solar first before going to the grid to get some when needed.

electricity is like water, it’s going to take the path of least resistance and go from high pressure to low pressure. pressure in this case is voltage. that should sound familiar if you paid any sort of attention in highschool. these balcony solar kits push just enough higher voltage out than the grid so your appliances like your fridge, lights, tv, etc are going to get the electricity from your balcony first. it’s only when your load is too much for the solar kit to provide (load as in the amount of appliances or devices wanting power) that it then takes from the grid. it’s at that point you are now being charged for electricity.

if your house is not using any electricity or using less than what your plug in solar balcony kit provides, yes it feeds that back into the grid. and if your agreement with your power company allows it, you can get credits towards grid use electricity, which is then used when you get power from the grid instead of being charged money. so really depending on your usage your ‘cost’ is the installation of the balcony solar kit.

and it’s that feeding back into the grid which is the dangerous part during a power outage. not for you, but for the power company crew who has to go work on the lines during either a scheduled power outage or an unscheduled one. if your balcony solar kit, or several from your neighbours is pushing electricity into the grid then crews can’t work on them because they are live. THAT’s why these kits have a kill switch and don’t work in a power outage, because you can’t stop the electricity from flowing from your home back into the grid, unless the grid is on.

the POINT of these balcony solar kits isn’t to keep the lights on during a power outage. it’s to lower your electricity bill. if you want to keep the lights on during a power outage then you get solar with a backup battery. it’s that simple. but these solar kits don’t come with a battery. that’s the point. they are much cheaper than a full solar off grid kit. and allow for people who are renting where they can’t install full solar. especially someone in say an apartment or a condo who want solar.

that solar is plug in balcony solar, meaning it probably doesn’t have a battery, so only works when the rest of the power grid is working. if they are in a power outage it isn’t providing power. that’s for safety reasons as they don’t want these balcony solar units to back feed into the larger power grid that would cause power companies from working on power lines

better yet, for those who don’t need glasses, don’t make my disability your fashion trend. yes needing glasses to see is a disability.

it was not. you look at anubus pal and then look at lucario and tell me that’s not a AI generated rip of off lucario, or Robinquill and Decidueye. Foxparks and Vulpix. Jet ragon and Latios/Latias. Orserk and Garchomp. too many pals are way to similar to be “original” designs. the fucking creators of palworld are huge supporters of AI, so of course they would use AI to generate pals and it jsut took pokemon designs.

but no no “nInTeNdo Is BaD” mindeset infested the stooges that love ‘pokemon with gunz’, i mean palword.
