Probably move on to YouTube Shorts or Instagram reels.

Likely YouTube. While neither are great, between Google and Meta, Google's got the better reputation. YouTube also has a larger audience, because it includes a ton of users who wouldn't fall under traditional social media usage. Reels might be used as a periphery platform to drive more people to their main channel on YouTube.

Any TikTok creator who moves to Instagram full-time is either shooting themselves in the foot, or got a good contract from Meta.

That's really cool! I wonder if there's a way to find the previous owners of the house, that'd make for a really fun story if you were able to track down the original owner somehow.

I missed an opportunity to nab a free ticket to a George Carlin show because I couldn't get the day off work. That ended up being his last tour before he died.

I think most people these days don't use browser bookmarks as a "check this out later" tool, and instead as more of a "I frequently need to access this page" function. For me, I only bookmark a page if it's something I frequently access; things like my email, Lemmy, some work apps, etc. In my use-case, bookmarks are a more "permanent" installation to my browser.

Also, "read later" apps generally strip the web page formatting and advertisements, and usually have an offline function of some sort; both of which you typically can't do with bookmarks. These are especially useful for those who like to read on their commute.

Finally, a SIM card that can run Doom.

Who is watching YT videos through this app?

99% of YouTube users.

I dunno, but preferably some method which doesn't involve a bunch of children committing suicide in the meantime.

The difference is whether or not there's one objective answer to a question, or if a question could have any number of answers.

For instance, look at "How do you replace the starter on a 2006 Ford Taurus?", which is rather closed-ended, as the only acceptable answer is "With the wrath of a perturbed god, as you've already replaced the starter three times in just as many years."

Whereas, "What advice would you give someone starting their first job as a car mechanic?" is open-ended and could have a million answers, ranging from "Get comfortable replacing Ford starters, because those sombitches burn out once a year" all the way to "Buy a good set of wrenches, and also a ouija board so you can tell the ghost of Henry Ford to go fuck himself".

Better to have mediocre content right now than 1 really good post every 2 weeks

Is it, though? To the best of my knowledge, Lemmy's algorithm doesn't penalize communities for low activity; it's a pretty rudimentary algo based on votes over the last X hours. There isn't risk of this community becoming de-ranked or anything along those lines. The good content will be just as visible as the bad content (for users browsing their all/sub feeds), so do we really need the bad content in the first place?

While I think removing the stigma associated with having deepfakes made of you is important, I don't think that desensitization through exposure is the way to go about it. That will cause a lot of damage leading up to the point you're trying to reach.

I wish there was an option without YT Music. I already use Spotify and don't plan on changing that, so the Music part of my YTP subscription is an unused redundancy, which is really unfortunate.
