As he brings up in the video, this is no doubt a result of valuing quantity over quality.

The more videos you churn out, the more employees you need to hire to manage the load.

But the more employees you hire, the more money the company needs to make to support them, necessitating more videos to generate revenue.

Warmbo, while seemingly made of felt, is actually made of human skin.

Neat, huh?

What’s going on with tech, recently?

Netflix cracking down on password sharing, reddit’s API changes, every streaming platform raising their prices, YouTube fighting against adblockers and potentially charging creators for visibility… the list goes on and on, and it seems to be coming from every direction all at once.

Am I missing some huge financial change in the tech investment sphere that has affected Silicon Valley (ie. freakout due to the SVB collapse)?

Or is this just a case of companies seeing each other get away with squeezing consumers, and following suit?

Wow, I didn’t know that. Thanks!

You’re right — PWAs can be feature rich and versatile. I’m glad they exist.

However, as much as I like wefwef (especially coming from Apollo), I don’t like having the URL bar perpetually taking up real estate like it does on iOS. I’m also much less likely to trigger browser-specific functions if I’m using a dedicated app.

Assuming the Lemmy platform remains open, I don’t have any issue supporting a developer for making a great app for it.

The issue with Reddit is not that devs were making third-party apps for it… it’s with the people running the platform.
