I’m surprised to hear that. I just switched from Spotify to Youtube Music and found the audio quality to be way better, even though I had Spotify set to high.

I’m a paying customer, but my biggest issue is that the content and suggestions themselves are still ads. I feel like I am paying to remove ads from within my ads.

The videos I am being recommended are still about how natural McDonalds food is, how this natural supplement from XYZ is disrupting healthcare and how this coffee machine will revolutionize the way I make coffee.

If the recommendation algorithm would be a bit less corporate, I’d be a happy customer. That, plus Apple Watch standalone Youtube Music app.

I keep hearing that consulting and finance are terrible uninspiring careers, but as a consultant I honestly have no idea what else I could do that would be more inspiring. I would love to know though.

Do we have videos on how west is deploying similar tactics? Purely for educational reasons it would be interesting to see what we are doing in foreign countries. I feel it us disingenuous to only focus on how Russia is doing.

Thank you for bringing this up. I’m amazed that this is not being discussed more. Search engines just stopped showing forum results. I would argue this is one of the main reasons people feel that forums have disappeared.

I also agree with your theory about censorship being the likely cause. Control over internet content has silently moved to a few companies.

Had to make a form with over 3000 input fields for a project. Figured that input fields shouldn’t be so resource intensive as to become a problem. Except that the form manager used JS inputs leading to the browser crashing constantly.

The chemicalization, medicalization and commercialization of depression is a dead end. While the chemical imbalances might be real, the symptoms are due to actual situations in your life. Treating the symptoms with drugs is a pretend solution that only works because it is often the first step people take to actually better their life.
