I think you're right. Even with the same math (20 subscriptions), you're paying only $3 more per month as a consumer. Meanwhile, each actual creator gets significantly more income per month, even after the Patreon cut: $0.70, or 304% more. Also they're not forced to create 3 videos per month just to eat
Honestly, after sitting down and doing the math, I'm a bit disheartened. I thought I was supporting my favourite creators more with YouTube premium, but 70% goes towards subsidising the music app I don't even use, which is insane to me. Really it should be called "YouTube music (plus ad free)" or something
Wrote a script that runs on startup and creates a service in the background. It just opened the CD drive at random intervals. I think it was every 300–30,000 seconds
Wrote a program, again that runs on startup and creates a service. On a much shorter interval every 15–150 seconds, it jiggles the mouse cursor slightly. Just enough to cause a mis-click
Another program that replaces a full stop keypress with a comma 10% of the time. Really funny for assignments and typing URLs
Another one ejects the floppy drive at random intervals. This one I never released due to data loss risk
Another that kills the monitoring software the school I.T. team uses for watching your screen or preventing you playing flash games
Finally one that makes the computer go BEEP every once in a while
Basically I was just an annoying troll
The school I.T. department got really mad at me and banned me from all computers lol
I know this might sound like just another "just keep waiting", but my life improved 1000% once I finished school and moved out. The oppression from an impartial school system, and living in a space where I'm not in charge of my own life, was fucking torture. I think you'll enjoy freedom and the ability to make decisions and be responsible for yourself.
then saying that since you can add 20 to itself to create 40 it must be less
then disregarding that and saying that the sequence of numbers proves it because we found 20 first
Honestly since it's such a simple equation, in real life you could just say 20<40 because 20<40. You don't really need to prove anything, the proof is in the logical operator. The homework question is dumb because it isn't clear what they're asking for.
Creators earn money from these subscriptions through a dedicated pool of revenue for each subscription type: 30% of the net subscription revenue for Premium and 60% for Premium Lite. This allocation factors in the costs of operating and promoting the service, including amounts we pay to music partners. This pool is distributed to creators based on member watch time and views, and from that distribution creators receive revenue share: 55% for long-form videos and 45% for Shorts.
TLDR: YouTube premium pays out to each content creator about A$0.23 per month. Regular ad watching gives A$0.09 per month.
Current price of premium is A$16.99 a month in Australia. 30% of $16.99 totals $5.10 monthly pool distributed across every content creator you watch. 70% or $11.90 of your monthly fee goes straight to YouTube and royalties to maintain their music platform you may or may not use.
The math gets really speculative here, but let's say you watch 20 different content creators, half of them make long form videos like Reject Convenience, half of them make shorts. You watch an even mix of 10 minute videos and shorts. Each long form content creator will receive ($5.10 • 0.55) / 10 = $0.28. Each shorts creator will receive ($5.10 • 0.45) / 10 = $0.23. Per month. It's a pittance really.
In comparison, an ad view gives about $0.03 per view, which if you watched 3 videos from each creator, would total $0.09. So premium gives more, but it's like 14¢ per month more per person.
I can't be bothered converting all these numbers to USD, sorry. You can roughly calculate it for your own situation using this formula:
C = (P • 0.3 • F) / N
Where
C is Content Creator Payout (each)
P is price of YouTube premium for you
F is form of content. 0.55 for long form, 0.45 for shorts
N is how many content creators in the same group of F you watch per month
Needs to be convenient to hold up to your face for phone calls
Needs to be small enough to be holdable in one hand (highly individual)
Needs to be big enough that you can use the touchscreen effectively (highly individual)
So really you can just use the size of an average pocket and hand as a guide and go from there. Once it stops fitting in pockets and hands, it has to go in the bag, and typing becomes very difficult as you have to prop up the device, which means people won't use it as much and get annoyed with it.
If it's just battery life, you can get bags and such nowadays with convenient rechargable battery packs in them. You don't need to change the device at all. If you want more screen size as a bigger person, there's XL versions of phones. Other than that there's no reason to get a bigger phone
One of the things I hate about the way I look is people are scared of me. Feels like just to exist somewhere, I either accept I'll be treated as a "thug", or I need to actively project an aura of civility. It's exhausting either way.
Totally different social experience if I have any feminine-looking person with me; people are suddenly nice and welcoming. Like I've been "vetted" as normal.
He said the scripts built a WebAudio graph that introduced a sawtooth oscillator to generate a waveform, an analyzer to measure the result after the waveform passes through a browser’s audio implementation, and a script to read the associated frequency data.
This is a fairly interesting method of fingerprinting. Annoying too, as it hogs the audio channels as experienced by the discoverer
The crazy part is placebo often works even if you're aware of it. You can knowingly take a blank pill and it will help you. Like c'mon brain, can't we just skip the middleman?
That I've forgotten some critical information that will completely ruin things for me in the future. E.g. going to an exam without my student ID. Forgetting I have urgent surgery today. Etc. The worst part is I'm usually right lol my memory is extremely bad
Cheat's Carbonara. I was practically making it for dinner every night anyway. Start with a basic recipe of spaghetti with olive oil and nutritional yeast. The only change is, don't pour out all of the pasta water, and add a beaten egg or two with black pepper. Tastier, and more protein too, with almost no additional effort. Parmesan is probably more to most's taste, but I like nooch.
Edit: if your eggs are refrigerated you'll probably need to put it back on the heat for like a minute or two. Accept that you'll overcook it a few times until you get the timing right.
Sounds like a hilarious read, like that Reddit for bots thing Moltbook
Actually it wasn't hilarious, it was extremely boring. I looked up a game I played recently Quasimorph and it just yaps on and on for fucking ever. There is no way to verify accuracy because no human could ever possibly read 36 paragraphs of pointless meandering waffle, without even any maple syrup
That issue has amazing comments. Including someone who unironically calls themselves an autistic genius with a straight face and is desperately seeking attention.
What bothered me is that, not a single person here has tried it - commented on it - given it regard. Because they assume “AI was used” means - Non-technical, AI-psychosis - sycophantic - worthless - low-in-value etc.
When my work gets disregarded when I know my stuff is top-notch - I can’t help but feel disrespected and incensed by the reasoning.
Think of it like - you’re a genius. You spend a few hours solving a problem. You drop it into the laps of the people who need that solution badly - and then get told that because you delivered that solution by drone instead of in person - they won’t even engage with it.
How does that make you feel? Especially when you did it all for free? Least I can get is real engagement. Could’ve just kept it to myself like I was planning to and said F everyone else.
The feedback is “not” difficult to accept. What’s difficult is ingratitude. Bruh, go tear apart my repo and call me a fool. But telling me you don’t want to even engage because you don’t like AI-generated text is nonsensical.
The difference between a genius and a crank is often very hard to discern. But usually, you can tell by the difference by which one concedes and scopes their claims and which one doesn’t.
Name calling? Nice. "Grown an ego" - No, I just don't like when people are wrong. Calling myself a genius is something new. I never did it before. Took me a long time to accept it was true. Calling myself that on a github comment section is totally extra. I can admit that. I probably have a chip on my shoulder. I can admit that too.
See? I can admit my faults. I haven't seen you or the other guy apologize or in anyway-shape-or-form acknowledge my arguments or give them any merit at all. So who really has the ego problem here?
Second one seems better. I know I'm willing to give something a shot and see if I grow to like them. I also know most other people are… not. If I don't like them, we stop dating, and nothing was lost
