He’s probably just mad he couldn’t sell surveillance tools to China like Google does.

patrioticaction | 6 years ago | on: Why Is Joe Rogan So Popular?
You probably think the comment sucks because it’s inconvenient that your popular host doesn’t curate his guests well or have strong debate skills to stop the most egregious shit from being said on his show because at the end of the day he’s still muscle headed Joe Rogan.
People are fawning over him because he doesn’t interject... but he doesn’t interject because he can’t formulate convincing and moral arguments on the fly.

Fair enough. I mean to say that YouTubers have followings that are very strong and they have never had a coalition to test a mass strike or exodus. They have a unique product that can’t just be supplanted with an analog as if they are simply interchangeable.
Like, “oh we don’t have John Oliver anymore but here’s Redacted Tonight with Lee Camp! Everyone’s happy, right?”

The reason top YouTube content is so good is because creators have spent many years honing their skill and building relationships. That can’t be easily replaced and I also must say that the revenue of College Humors’s Dropout service is an indication of a lost opportunity for YouTube. If done in larger amounts, it could be death by a thousand cuts. Plenty of reason to come to the negotiating table.

You are arguing that there is anything resembling a perfect market for YouTube video content. Talk about a departure from reality.
patrioticaction | 6 years ago | on: Watch Out Google, YouTubers Are Unionizing
By that logic who needs YouTube when we can stare at the endless content of clouds moving in the sky.

What is also both gross and sad is your contemptuous description of YouTube videos as being “Repackage scenes from movies, previews, upload documentaries, sport clips”
Setting aside derivative works, which it sounds like you are attacking the value of, there is shit tons of purely original content on YouTube that carries a lot of negotiating power.

No worries, I am sure the Gen8 server makes for a good doorstop when it dies, have tested before.

I guarantee you they don’t have the capacity to scale an internet business on demand. Not the way AWS or GCP can.
patrioticaction | 6 years ago | on: White House drafting order on tech industry 'censorship'
Let’s start by banning hateful people like Donald Trump from Twitter. Let them find and fund their own platforms for that willful ignorance. They know it’s hard to survive alone — look at 8chan — so maybe they are willing to play by the rules if we enforce them.

Lead times on server orders are non trivial once you are buying a large quantity with specific configurations.
Want to scale up? 5 weeks minimum. Your opportunity may have been lost by then.

If the economy was hyper-inflating large institutions and corporations would be the first to trade their cash for other securities and assets like real estate.
patrioticaction | 6 years ago | on: IRS sends warning letters to more than 10k cryptocurrency holders
The ICO market crashed and trading volume on crypto exchanges keeps dipping lower and lower and lower. Its main use-case has shifted back to currency after a failed bid as a security.
