For a long time after they removed the 5 star system, if you subscribed to a channel via RSS, it would show you the like/dislike data for videos as a 5 star rating. You can't see it easily any more but I suspect, due to tech debt, youtube's internals are still using the 5 star rating.

I don't mind injected podcast ads so much, especially for smaller podcasts that need some financial support. What I tend to do is use a VPN, that way the podcast is in my local language, but the ads are in another that I don't understand. I get my podcast, podcasters get paid, and I avoid tracking and brainwashing. win-win-win
This is one of the points that a French MEP brought up during the meeting. If this is pursued it could as a side effect open up space for digital "orphaned works" which would be fantastic.
It may be waiting to enshittify, but as it is still DRM free, that's not a huge deal breaker (as long as they don't change this policy). Plus, they're still doing Bandcamp fridays, so it's still the best way to financially support a musician at the moment.
are you complaining that smaller devs get a bigger cut than larger devs? That's certainly an interesting gripe...
Smaller devs have to pay 30% of their revenues to steam. If a game sells well enough, their revenue share increases and steam takes a smaller cut, 25 or even 20%. This greatly benefits publishers of big games and unfairly punishes smaller developers. I think that's a perfectly fair gripe.
Forgot about steam's forced DRM on purchases. Forgot about their inconsistent policing of content in games they sell. Forgot about steam not wanting accounts to be inherited when you pass away. Forgot about their 30% cut for small devs while bigger devs get a smaller cut. Forgot about a lot of things.
It'll be cancelled before it even launches
Going purely by the illustration, pass it to the next person because they have a track with no-one on it
A website generator built by a human still gave a human the chance to make some choices, feel useful, validate it worked right, possibly even an income.
it took me far too long to parse this sentence. I kept trying to figure out why the grandparents calling their grandson on the phone was relevant to the story

Those other services are not great but they are at the very least not actively promoting AI-generated child abuse imagery. It's an incredibly low bar, but they do pass it.
