Doesn't make them less clever.

I feel it's worse than this. Imagine being the brightest mind in college, have a ton of experience, just to invent new algorithms to get people to click on more ads.

Youtube Premium in c/memes@lemmy.ml

[-] thecoolowl@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

I use YouTube the most of all streaming services. Yet I don't understand why there isn't an affordable easy to use option, that includes no ads and a high CPM for creators.

My understanding is YouTube premium, doesn't highten the payout to creators, but rather just substitutes the dirt poor ad revenue per impression.

Ad blocking on android in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I've been using NextDNS for a while now. It's great compared to VPN implementations like Blokada because it frees up your phone to use an actual VPN.

I've found PDNSQS for when I need to temporarily disable ad blocking, a really nice addition.

Sync for Lemmy is now available for everyone in c/android@lemdro.id

Free as in freedom. Not free beer.

You gotta admit, it's fun to meme the opposite camp. Whether you are a GUI or CLI person.

Setting up selfhosting without a terminal (lemmy.one)

Every single time I talk to my friends, whom also want an *arr/Plex/VPN/Home Assistant setup like I've got, I can see the fear in their eyes when I mention Debian, Docker, and the terminal. It could be a case of "git gud", but I want to help them out with a setup like this, but with as low friction as possible. Ideally something completely GUI based, and very low maintenance.

I know of unRAID, and Portainer, but does anyone have any experience in setting up something like this for people whose knowledge of self hosting and networking aren't as good as yours?
