Commenting to share my experience: I ran into and ended up with youtube because it bundles youtube music as well, allowing me to consolidate. I was able to invite my household to the same account.

I also wanted to ensure my views resulted in the creators being paid, it goes without saying that the royalties for streaming are abysmal and is a separate conversation, but it was a contributing factor for me.

It’s just an example to illustrate a term and is not germane to the actual point of the article.

I work in the adtech ad verification space and this is very true. the surge in content scraping has made things very very hard in some instances. I can’t really fault the website owners either.

They aren’t sad about being forced to use something. They are expressing their opinion about split efforts in the Django community.

Exactly. I look at things like this and contrast with what friends like Adam Johnson do[0] with their community contributions. Adam has many Django packages, along with many other non-Django Python packages. Crucially though, they're not forks that reduce the focus of the community, they're contributions that increase what the community can do collectively.

I think it's perfectly fine to have split effort when you have differing views and goals on something. Developing two exact same things with same goal and purpose might not be fruitful, but variety and options don't usually hurt

I don’t think the comment was meant derisive like you and the other commenter are interpreting… relax?

Thanks, I edited to assume the best interpretation of the thread.

Since I want programming to be inclusive and not have a bad rap publicly, when a peer says “software is better than all other disciplines because of X, Y, Z” I want to convince them otherwise.

You should probably do less of that since:

1). That's not what any of my posts said.

2). My degree says mathematical physics and not computer science or software engineering.

3). A field where you're tone policed by the tone deaf is the opposite of welcoming and inclusive.

Since I’m already in the thread defending you against the other poster, I’ll add here

U/callc appears to be reacting to the public perception of how this thread would read externally, you appear to be reacting based on hard logic, which is unpalatable to most of the public.

I think you two are talking past each other

> I think you two are talking past each other

This is why steelmanning a comment before arguing against it should be a rule.

I’m not sure how this comment meets the rules of engaging in meaningful discussion

I agree with your point and response. This activity of being players overs to new leagues run by Saudi or adjacent countries has been huge in almost every major sport. Some with much more success than others.

This was at the center of controversy many years ago, described as a sort of alt-right pipeline. I believe there are studies about that exact algorithm behavior on youtube. My understanding is that it was changed to loop back around to trusted content sooner.

I’m a val.town user and townie has been really nice in conjunction with having stuff working and hosted right away, it hits the sweet spot for speed and flexibility. Tough call to make on whether to continue pursuing it, excited to see what you do!

Thanks!

This string of unprovable assumptions is not how you do things.
