Thanks for the warning 🙂 Sometimes I still think I have as much spare time as 10 years ago 😉

🤣

This got mee googling Nextcloud and I think I’m going to give it a try 😱

This reply thread is the information I needed from this topic 👍

And then, they, would have our gratitude.

I’m still on Twitter (X) and I don’t have a problem with seeing Netflix-ads in my feed. I somewhat have a problem with a product like Twitter being bought by one person. If that could have been prevented in the first place, a tweet from one person would not jeopardize the monetization or engagement of that platform.

When Twitter was Twitter the same concerns were outed. Now X is Twitter minus 80% of its employees. From an economic standpoint it seems that investing in moderation doesn’t give you less concerns and complaints from the outside regarding disinformation, more extreme content, … . The advertisers have the most impact, I think. Together with the users that will look for an alternative.

Am I wrong in assuming that OF, and people making money of it, isn’t that mainstream at all?

Last Week Tonight, on the other hand, I still find and satire and informative.

I didn’t want to go into it too much but in Belgium there isn’t a political with more than 25% representation. So each government has to be a coalition of several political parties. There isn’t a system where the winner takes it all. A voter in Belgium doesn’t identify itself with one party for life. So we often switch between political parties. Here’s no ‘us against them’ culture. And because the outrage against other political parties isn’t a thing, it also isn’t a daily thing in the media.

Being from Belgium, following American politics started for me together with the rise of YouTube and I could watch episodes of The Daily Show on it and where things have gone from topics like ‘Dick Cheney shot someone in the face’ to news like this. It really made me stop watching talkshows that I really enjoyed like The Daily Show, The Late Show with SC, … . It’s so much politics, every day again, on so many television shows. Is it also perceived as such in the USA itself? In Belgium, for many reasons, politics isn’t 24/7 discussed everywhere, everytime.
