Share your awkward and unpleasant interactions resulting from privacy practices

I have these awkward interactions pretty much every day. Answering questions just leads to more boring questions with the same answers over and over and then that's followed by insults so at this point I usually just make up some sort of boring lie.

Just moving one creator off the biggest platform accomplishes nothing.

We've already discussed several times precisely how it does. If you don't agree, that's fine, but you can stop repeating the same nonsense over and over.

And I don’t see a universe where Big Tech is going to change its’ tune either unfortunately.

Not as long as people like you continue to advocate against it.

Basically every podcast is available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, some of the major ones also on YouTube. How’s that different from streaming?

Because they're also available without them. And YouTube does not have podcasts.

And I’m saying there’s no point unless it’s a coordinated effort. A single creator being unavailable on Twitch changes nothing, except that single streamer’s visibility

Brother you can't just start at 5 million. Everything starts at one. Fortunately there are already hundreds, but none of them as influential as the mayor of NYC.

Their website runs fine on Firefox

I don't care about their website. I want a client where I click a button and the game launches.

Heroic even provides a unifying launcher for GOG

It only works like 10% of the time. While Steam works 99%. Even when it works it doesn't support a bunch of features that GOG desktop does.

Are you saying the convenience of the more proprietary platform is keeping you from using the less proprietary one?

No I'm saying one supports free operating systems and the other doesn't.

if whatever alternative platform he uses (which you proposed could be his own website) can’t facilitate a bunch of other creators moving over, then his effort is useless against the whole issue of Twitch

...no? It isn't. He doesn't have to support anyone else in order to not support Twitch.

Other than that, I would recommend checking out the Owncast directory to see how a federated streaming network can work. Or even look at the current state of podcasts and just apply that logic to streaming.

People don’t want to have to use 10 different platforms to follow the stuff they’re interested in. They want their one platform to show most of the content

The only reason that doesn't already exist is because Big Tech doesn't want it to. They could all turn on Federation and make that a reality tomorrow. Again, I refer you to The Owncast directory to see what that future could look like.

I fully agree, but it doesn’t help unless there’s enough content “somewhere else”

Once again, chicken and egg. There will never be content somewhere else until someone puts it there.

GOG doesn’t suck at all, and sees much smaller sales numbers than Steam

That's because they only have DRM-free content, which means they have ~1\1000th of Steam's library, if that.

Personally I don't buy from them because they don't support Linux/Proton, even though they totally could. So I have to choose between free games or a free OS.

Motherfucker I will **quadruple down __ ** on the fact that the additional context does not make it any more clear, that's why I didn't quote it.

Mint has a dedicat3d program for installing firmware for specific devices. You just run it and it grabs the necessary stuff and installs it.

It's not just that, it's shitting where it eats. People are using it to fill the internet with disinformation, then it trains itself on it's own disinformation, and breeds even worse disinformation. This is why AI can never be smarter than it was in 2021.

On top of that, due to the indiscriminate DDOSing of the entire internet by AI bots, websites have been blocking any web crawlers that are not Google, which just contributes to their monopoly.

he’d have to spend billions to get enough infrastructure for his streaming service to be able to compete with YouTube and Twitch

I was not at all suggesting that he enter the business of livestreaming...

Because people go where the content is, so a majority of content creators would have to start using it, rather than just himself.

"Where the content is" is owned by one of the richest tech billionaires in the world. One who is responsible for the destruction of more small businesses than anyone on the planet. One who bribed the President on several occasions, including with the ballroom, and with a $28M check. And I'm sure many other avenues.

As long as we continue going "where the content is" and refusing to go anywhere else, that's where it will remain in perpetuity. Someone has to have the influence and the courage to make the content be somewhere else.

Until that, it’s like Epic Games Store. They keep giving away free games and STILL nobody wants to go there because all their games are already on Steam.
