Is it like Instagram? I don't get it. I might be too old.

My home instance is taking a wait and see approach. If we get a bunch of ads or hate speech then they're out.

Was about to say inverter until I saw your comment. I think the robot meant to call out AC vs DC.

I bet these ads will be very well moderated

It's Texas, don't hold your breath.

You've summed this up very well! I was a group one pirate in my youth. Then I got a job and a girlfriend who liked cable TV. Then my brother and I traded off paying for Netflix. Life was good. I was happily in camp 3. Then we cut the cord and I was even happier with what I was paying for my media experience! Then it all went to shit.

I feel like I blinked and everyone had their hand in my pocket for $10 - $20 per month, and there was still nothing I wanted to watch. So I dusted off the black flag and am once again very happy with my media experience.

They pushed me back to group 2. I'm paying for my content, and I feel like I'm paying a fair price. My money just isn't going to the media conglomerates who ruined everything. I built my own set top box / dvr out of a sbc. I couldn't be happier.

found the power user!

Ah ok. I thought there was something specific about this man or company being evil, like that Massey energy guy is to coal mining.

What should we have learned? I'm out of the loop.

You're a genius! I would stop removing paywalls if something like this existed.
