If there aren't workers, there is no need for unions.

But that doesn't happen anyway.
UBI doesn't replace work. People still work. Pilot programs and tests show, people might work less overtime, or call out when sick more, so they can go to a doctor, spend more time home with a new baby, and stay in school longer gaining higher degrees. But they don't quit their jobs. So there will still be plenty of workers to join unions.

How does it take leverage from unions?
It would effectively be a permanent strike fund.
Wouldn't that help unions?

It's also not so much "taking" power, as it's not giving power you feel is your right.
Which, is the same kind of thinking that let's copyright holders claim every count of piracy is theft of money they never actually had.

What about copyrighted code?
Like for instance, GPU drivers?

I'm not sure what you're talking about.

None of the major Fediverse projects have real monetization.
Why single out PeerTube?

Why would you expect monetization at this point?

Do you think it should be monetized, or are you just surprised it hasn't been?

What form of monetization are you imagining?

You're not alone.

On a good large screen, 1080p is a noticeable upgrade from 720p.
But the distance you'd have to sit at, to get much out of 2160p over 1080p, is just way too close.
However the High Dynamic Range that comes with 4K formats and releases IS a big difference.

On the other hand, storage is pretty cheep. A couple cents per GB really.
But you're talking more about bandwidth, which can be expensive.

But yeah. You're not alone.

I'm stupid. That's obvious in retrospect. Thank you

What's TTC?

I tried to look it up and found:
Trying to Concieve with a bunch of Christian advice.
Thinking Theologically Conference which looks like an apologetics workshop.

Neither makes a lot of sense for him to bring back

That was the original idea behind Hulu.
But Netflix had a much better UX and ate their lunch.

Or re-release the same book with a different title.

I was an avid Usenet user, until torrents were invented.
I've never needed to go back.
