To be fair it’s not a mysterious “they”, it’s just an option available for channel owners to set alternative thumbnails and then check which does better. I don’t think YouTube does this by itself if the uploader doesn’t enable it

This + MDMA in the water supply
Well at least we made the shareholders of some military contractors richer that’s gotta count for something
At what point does Biden send in the national guard to liberate these poor people from dictatorship? He’s legally allowed to do it now right?
Am I missing something? I thought you weren’t required to put a return address on postcards. Just put your username and email.
yes, that’s why I put it in quotes. However given the diversity of culture and language there’s still going to be slurs that the predominantly English speaking mods will not be aware of, so users should be able to set their own filters.

Op’s take is not reasonable imo- if you think threats are harmful enough to prosecute they should also be harmful enough to censor.
Maybe a more soft form of censorship, such as hiding them behind a cw and a “user was vanned for this post” label rather than outright removal, but you can’t just do nothing.
My personal opinion is that for “edge cases” like cisgender, I should be the one who decides what “slurs” I see or don’t see on the feed, rather than some shmuck twitter mod who watched a YouTube video or whatever.
The thing is, I dislike censorship in general. Corporate or government. Yes it’s the corp’s prerogative, but we’re allowed to criticize corporate censorship and hypocrisy regarding censorship.
I don’t get why people defend censorship by powerful/monopolistic companies run by billionaires while criticizing censorship by the government. They’re not that different.

My go to example for “we should have let them cook” is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OGAS
The US government in 1962 regarded the project as a major threat due to the “tremendous increments in economic productivity” which could disrupt the world market. Arthur Schlesinger Jr, historian and special assistant to President Kennedy, described “an all out Soviet commitment to cybernetics” as providing the Soviet Union a “tremendous advantage” in respect to production technology, complex of industries, feedback control and self-teaching computers.
yeah maybe we should let them cook for a bit
(goose.jpg) portability to where?
I’m a bsky fanboy normally but this is not a benefit. The functional part of bluesky is centralized. But they’re open source and an open protocol so technically anyone can build a replacement
I had a different reaction but it may be due to having watched NGE too early in life
Tildes is many years old, founded by a former mod who did a lot of good work to clean up and grow /r/games like 12 years ago and eventually got hired by reddit, then left to start tildes.
Are there any that have a skip annoying laughter feature (/s)
Seriously tho that sort of thing seems like it would mess with the use of pauses for narrative effect
I thought Americans (at least the ones who watch MSNBC) all agreed he voted in the 2016 election
