This will be my last post on Lemmy...

We just feel differently about how or what memes add to the fediverse. It really is just a difference in philosophy. As far as I'm aware, there are no serious differences. It's just minor. Rimu and I had a discussion about it a while back and there's no bad blood or anything, we see things differently on the Fediverse. Rimu, from what I can tell, prefers things to be a bit more conversational and discussion based. I like things to be a blend of discussions and memes. That's really about it.
Ah, okay. As long as .social is just limiting hosting memes, not blocking them from elsewhere, I don't have a problem with them. I'm with you, I think memes have their place.

I'd be more than willing to throw them a couple of euros each month. But paying like 14 per month for something I get for free now is just too much.
They've been making money off my private data for years, I ain't paying for shit now

That's been my feeling all along. $5-10 per month I can justify, but I really can't justify $23/mo to cover both my and my wife's accounts, especially given that they reportedly still sometimes show ads to premium subscribers. And honestly when they were getting really pushy about subscribing a year or two ago I refused because I don't give in to pushiness like that by tech companies

I’ve been on YouTube Premium since it was YouTube Red, and I’ve never seen an ad when I’m logged in.
I justify it because YouTube Music is included, so I can get music streaming without paying for a similar service from Spotify or Apple or Amazon or whomever, and also get ad-free YouTube on all my devices and whatnot.

"Boy, I sure don't care about this...I better comment to show how much I don't care!"
Boy I sure don't understand jokes... I better comment to show how much it went over my head.

If the "joke" is told poorly, no, I do not. Sarcasm via text is an art.

Unfortunately, the time has come for me to leave Lemmy. Time will show where we all end up. I'll see you in the future... maybe sooner than you think?
Edit: Follow up post is here. Don't worry. You're not getting rid of me that easy. I'm just switching to piefed.world
78? You must be new to the internet.

Good for you, but it doesn't take much searching to find "I pay for premium, why am I seeing ads?"

I demand my M&Ms be gendered and fuckable!

How do I subscribe to a user or community on piefed.world and see it in my lemmy.world feed?

Meh, I decided to just pop for Premium. I realized that of the online streaming services, YouTube is the one I use the most. And Premium gives me access to YTMusic as well as GMM which was paywalled back when Premium started. And all for the same basic price as Netflix, Amazon, or Hulu which I barely use and therefore dropped.

Paste the link to it into your search bar and it should pop up like a normal community.
You can't follow users from lemmy (yet). -

I've had it for years with a group of friends and even with the price increase, it's still well worth it (maybe $6 converted).
It's the only media subscription I have and I use it every single day.
I don't get this extreme hatred for asking money for such a massive service. YouTube streams unfathomable amounts of video and there's no way it's a profitable business to begin with.

With YouTube Family it's €5.50 for me and my friends.

My group of friends pay €5.50 each for premium.
Spotify is €14.61.

If you're using a 3rd party client like Boost or Voyager it might not recognize the pifed domain as an activitypub instance.. our friendly devs are doing there best
