Interesting. Is this happening in the u.s? If not there might be a law for those countries making them hide it there. If you can, try searching for sepia search, its a sesrch engine for almost all peertube intances basically its as if peertube was youtube, do those countries show that?

I actually didn’t know that much about the term. I am a dem-sexual and support LGBTQ and I wouldn’t want to be associated with people avocating against LGBTQ people or any marginalized people.

I agree, what are some of them that are known by users of Lemmy? In particular when you compare larger search engines to each other.

I’m not too familiar with maps i’ve only herd about it like 2 times. if it’s not a thing now could it become a thing a decade from now? atleast on the surface, on it’s own, distant away from LGBT.

I think I get why they are actually are allowing it, they won’t say why, but I get why. It might have something to do with maps. If you know what maps are then you’l understand, if you don’t then there’s always a chance of learning. Not like the tradition map, but it’s another definition.

as you say this big companies in recent times have been working on making the web less wide, and less accessible mostly for independent sites. search engines hide sites, sometimes Playstore will take down apps. I think this is a small issue slowly turning into a big issue. and a small handful that own a bunch of the sites you commonly see will take advantage of the changing landscape.

In other words, these older extentions work just fine, no one wants the new limited features, and google is force disabling older extentions despite any outcries from its users because it can.

seems interesting, a news source from Germany. I’l bookmark it and check it out.

true, but i’m not signing up for something I check once in a blue moon. and I suppose technically it isn’t a paywall, but it could turn into to one, or it might as well be one, what else does this pop up serve, to protect the site from bots?

I’m glad you actually said that scrolling down the comment I was like, wait people are ok with this? and they don’t see that it’s a trap?

It’s a trap, this is all bad. standerlise the internet, and then they’l be able to charge you for Xbox live ons team and more

This is not a good thing for Linux users, but it is for Windows users. It’l make using the internet for basic tasks more seamless. and I think this is generally what this is going for. Not to make it seamless, but to restrict, but make it seem seamless.

If I wanted to see ads I would go on youtube or like kotaku or something.

look at it in perspective, like on this community, alot of people like talking about tech, but when users aren’t posting, they might still seek new content. so when the bots do post something, it brings life to the community and activity. and usually when they do post something it is relatively new if not brand new news articles that bring people together to talk about.

the thing is apple devices aren’t terrible, just over priced, they are better when it comes to less ads, or are they…? on most Android phones the ads come from the apps the user use, which are likely to be the same on an iphone anyways. YouTube anyone?

. and knowing how much free money apple gets from the search engine deal on the daily and yet they still charge $1000 for phones that right there, ends my trust for that company, forget about their privacy claims after that nonsense.

About time, unlabeled ads isn’t even a requirement to make money off of ads, or is it…?

clicking on an ad generates more revenue then just seeing one if I remember correctly. which seems to be why YouTube encourages users to get use to waiting and clicking on the skip button, if on the browser site theres a chance of a user clicking on the ad and opening it’s link.

Good points, although they do tend to bring activity back to communities and give a reason to use them when people aren’t posting. and while the bots aren’t necesarily ai, they essentially do the same thing, automated tasks by a cpu.

in a perfect world, when it is the better search engine, and they didn’t cheat then i’d say do nothing. they did no wrong so why even ask this question?

Look at it like this, how many wanted the Playstation 3 when it was cool, then factor in how many people bought that at launch vs the ps2 at launch. Actual market share matter more then opinions on what’s cool.

Teenagers might think they want an iPhone, but not everyone has the money for one and paying the bills. Whether they could make life changes to make more money is debatable, but the fact remains that not everyone does have $1000 to throw at a phone.

Because of this, the cheaper yet surprisingly still usable alternative, android has the larger marketshare. Since Google makes money on ads it’s better for them to hand out more phones for cheap or in same cases for free, when a manufacturer makes a phone, when all those users see ads on YouTube and Google.
