I think they are just using AI to put a positive spin on it. They know hard times are ahead and they need to reduce headcounts to preserve cash.

Based on global reactions, I think there will be a minority of yes and no's

Then the vast majority will be "I don't care anymore"

Taking the pot off the stove, throwing away and starting again, then repeating it many times is not giving it time to cook

The free option is not sustainable and does not reward the correct customer/business relationship.

I'm with you, paying is better than supporting the Ad business.

I just wish YouTube did not treat paying customers like criminals with the app based restrictions.

This is actually bad for the discriminated parties as well.

The South African government is using race based restitution legislation as a vehicle for bribes and corruption. They use it as a gate keeper to make sure that only those in the good graces with the political elite get opportunities.

If you open them and start googling part numbers, you will notice that entire subassemblies are off the shelf parts from China, not just components.

The solution is not to make rules based on where something is made, the solution is to have sensible rules that apply to everyone.

A product with a German label should not spy on you, nor should a Chinese one, or an American one.

Can we dump the Democratic Party with it and start new?

It's mostly for vote integrity. It makes sure that no-one can vote twice. It also makes sure that no-one can stuff ballot boxes.

Voter suppression comes in when laws around it are poorly written, or poorly implemented. It's still crazy to me that voting in the US is not handled by a non-political federal level organization like it is in most mature democracies.
