I mean yh, if you paid me £100,000 a year, I'd do it.
But living in the real world where you'd be earning minimum wage for work a machine can do hundreds of times faster and more consistently? You need to be realistic, why would you want to do menial labour that isn't even required.
This is pretty similar to when the disgruntled cotton spinners, put out of work at the very beginning of the industrial revolution used to break in to the factories to smash up the machinery.
You may not like it, it may cause short term problems, but AI is here to stay and it's only going to get better.
I just wanted to say that you shouldn't be getting downvoted. Your question is well written and appears to be made in good faith.
There are some good and interesting replies here and it shows that your question was worth asking. Please don't be deterred from asking further questions in the future.
It's an honest question asked in good faith and shame on you for trying to shut down OP. There are some very good, interesting and well written replies here that show it was a question worth asking.
I had my first root canal recently. Honestly it was no worse than a filling, the most painful part was simply having to lie still with my mouth open for so long.
(I hate the injections, but I always hate injections, worth it to go through the procedure pain free though)
It was you saying that they were turning the adverts off, now you're saying they can't. So to call my research "armchair" is quite ironic.
The article you shared said that it's only creators not in the YPP that don't receive revenue but you either didn't read it or just decided to omit that information based upon your predetermined conclusion.
A quick Google says you're wrong, I'm not an accountant for YouTube so I couldn't prove otherwise. Presumably if there was zero benefit to creators, they would all turn the adverts off, rather than just some of them.
I'm aware that they only get a small percentage of the ad revenue but it's like that in every business unfortunately. When I buy a loaf of bread at the supermarket, I know that only a tiny fraction of a percent the price will go in to the checkout worker's or farmer's, or the baker's paycheck, but I'm not going to boycott supermarkets because of that.
A couple of ads isn't the end of the world for most people. Whilst I understand that they are undersirable, I also want the creators I enjoy to be able to get paid.
Some of the creators I enjoy are quite niche and they put their time, effort and money in to making the content. I don't think a couple of ads is too much to ask to help pay them back.
It's not a new thing, I remember something called the anarchists cookbook (I think) that wasn't too hard to find twenty years ago which is illegal to possess.
Edit: it is illegal to possess in the UK, apparently it's legal in some other countries
I just wanted to say that you shouldn't be getting downvoted. You've asked a question that isn't editorialised, appears to made in good faith and asks the opinions of others.
Good point well made. In the UK Down's syndrome is now commonly screened for with an option for the parents to abort and there's very few people that see a problem with that, is that eugenics?
Most people would agree "I only want a child with blonde hair" is too far, but as for preventing suffering, as you say, it's a tough line to draw.
It's an uncomfortable question, but a question that appears to be made in good faith and OP shouldn't be getting downvoted. I do not see the benefit of "burying" this question and the many well written answers in this thread show that.
