What about it

Never seen a clearer example of someone not being objective.

On the Dec. 21 episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” which has been the No. 1 podcast on Spotify for the past three years

It should be noted that Rogan has an exclusive deal with Spotify so Spotify is the only place you can listen to Rogan, which is probably largely responsible for his #1 spot on the platform.

I believe that deal ends later this week. I haven't seen anything to indicate it will be renewed.

There are several "new YouTube"s. The problem is getting people to transition to them. And this is intended to do exactly that.

That's the exact opposite of what most people want from an app like this.

I see a lot of people saying "but that's how creators get paid"

And they're not wrong. But they put themselves in this position when they uploaded their videos to servers owned by one of the worst corporations in the world, with massive privacy implications, and no alternatives.

I watch them on other platforms when they make it available.

When T9 was all we had, we got real good at it.

No software updates mean they have to get it right the first time, which they always seemed to manage.

I've come to the realization that the phone I want is a Nokia 3310 "brick".

  • Infinite battery life
  • compact size
  • headphone jack
  • indestructible
  • no spyware
  • no social media
  • T9 texting
  • no software updates
  • Snake
  • Brick Breaker

The options on Android aren’t much better

Literally every one of them is better, because none of them are running iOS. That's my subjective opinion.

unless you go for some obscure manufacturer who won’t support the phone with updates 1 year after its life cycle.

Samsung and Google both support devices for 5 years now. Doesn't matter how long Apple "supports" the software because they don't support the hardware.

Why not both?

I think in reality the Chrome web browser is a huge threat to Internet freedom and should be a top priority.

No man, you're just supposed to say "Sup." back to them and then repeat ad nauseum.
