and kbin seems to federate REAAAALLLY slowly in my experience. A lemmy post will have 100+ comments on any lemmy instance, but then you view it in kbin and there's like 5 comments. My profile when viewed in kbin is days/weeks behind.

It feels so empty and like you're in the past lol.

The only songs that have ever been removed from my library (Spotify shows you) are remixes/mashups where the person doing it never had permission.

Not really sure what you mean by you listen to what they propose? You search what you want, follow other people, listen to playlists you or other people have made.

Sorry, but you're insane. COVID is still alive and well, and killing people daily. How can you say you lost people and miss them, and then turn around and say we shouldn't wear a mask due to COVID?

I had a double lung transplant. I'm wearing my mask. You're ignorant as shit.

This world is fucked lmao. I still wear a mask, never stopped. I had a double lung transplant and don't feel like rejecting my lungs due to something I can very easily avoid.

So your internet is a bit cheaper than mine, not by a huge amount, but the speed is crazy! That's awesome!

The other ISP in my country offers 8gbps symmetrical for the same ~$140 CAD per month, but they don't offer it where I am, because of monopolies.

Oh I don't. I just move them there because Twitch deletes them after a few days. I don't care about them, it's just an easy 1 click button to save them on YouTube.

In fact I stopped relying on Google services when they banned the Terraria developers Google account and the only way he got it back was by canceling the Stadia release of Terraria.

Since that day, I switched to ProtonMail with a custom domain, immich.app, proton calendar, and more.

Realized that unless I have to power to potentially cost Google millions of dollars, Google won't even look my way.

That's interesting. My girlfriends old cat videos from over a decade ago are still there. She hasn't logged into the account for years and years.

Reddit is shit, I've deleted all of my accounts. I'm not defending them at all. However, didn't third party apps literally do the same thing? Where you could buy different themed icons?

and they keep the original file as well as their converted file. So every video you upload is stored at least twice. Technically more, because popular videos are stored on multiple servers to ensure fast load times no matter where you live. It's crazy. I would love to see a behind the scenes your of YouTube, and a live stat counter page. It would seem fake.

Fair point! However, your argument is almost more reason for Google to do it.

You find yourself on YouTube for those niche videos, which means you're the kind of customer YouTube would benefit from getting rid of. A few dozen views from you per year to find niche videos, is not paying them anything, and is wasting a ton of storage. They want people who spend hours upon hours on YouTube per day, essentially replacing TV. Those who spend hours and hours on YouTube, are also generally watching popular videos, or videos that YouTube is recommending, which means a ton of ad views, or even YouTube Premium subscriptions.

I would absolutely be crushed if YouTube deleted all those random niche videos because I just used one last week to fix my car. Some random ass video showing a potential ground wire issue. I am not saying I want Google to do it, I don't, but I am definitely shocked they aren't.

I paid $180 per month for 25mbps down and 2mbps up. 1TB limit.

I moved, and now I get 1gbps down and 50mbps up for $150. No limit.

I love Canada! Yay.

I'm shocked they haven't already. A good 95% of YouTube could be deleted and no one would notice, and would save Google millions and millions of dollars.
