Man, who could hate Neocities? There’s so many gorgeous “retro” websites on there. Brings me back to my childhood.

here's the neat thing. in the US, rules don't apply when you're rich.

lmao yeah ok dude sure

they took the meta out of Meta 🤣

You say that, but I am learning first hand that I have a finite capacity for injustice and misery.

that's why I said "if you want to". if your bucket is full, then care about what you can. if you have more room in your bucket, then why not use that room for something else?

that's not stealing, that's copying. you're in the wrong comm to be calling piracy stealing.

I mean, I guess it matters to the person the land belongs to. they said in the article that they left tire marks and the exhaust also damaged the site. so there's the environmental concern.

but more importantly, just because there are more important things to worry about, doesn't mean you can't also worry about this. it's not a mutually exclusive sort of thing, you can care about more than one problem at a time if you want to.

creators get paid for views.

that's not exactly true. creators get paid for ad impressions, not for views. a client like Freetube or Libretube does not view any ads, so the creators do not get paid.

this is why some frontends and browser extensions allow you to allowlist certain channels, so that they get paid for your watching their content.

That's going to make running anything on Windows rather uncomfortable.
