What law are they breaking? Not trying to defend Google or anything, just curious what law is blatantly being broken here because I don’t know of one

I think they still can but they have less fine control over which ad placements they disable? I’m not totally sure, but that’s what this link seems to imply https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6332943?hl=en

Those YouTubers have the option to disable ads on their channel if that is truly all the revenue they need, you don’t need to make that decision for them

How can you even form an opinion on this if, as you stated in that thread, you literally have no idea what typescript is and are just a beginner in js? You got down voted for saying typescript is unnecessary without even knowing what it is or what the thing you’re working with’s limitations are, which is a pretty objectively braindead stance to take. You’re a beginner js developer, you have no idea what you’re talking about when it comes to preferences of ts vs js, just that all of the beginner level stuff you have tried to do works in js so therefore typescript or frameworks must be unnecessary

It’s true, my uncle’s cousin works for Cellebrite and says they can even hack into our brains

This has to be an intentionally bad idea lol, most albums are longer than 30 minutes and this would ruin the flow

This is needlessly splitting hairs, Linus Tech Tips is absolutely part of the tech industry, and the parallels to other horror stories of the tech industry are too great to ignore. The people working on these videos are tech professionals similar to yourself, they test software similar to what you make, they have a company culture similar to tech startups, and other tech professionals consume their videos giving them influence in the tech community. They may not be doing the same thing in the industry as you are, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t part of it.

I would say it’s both, it is an extremely tech centric media production company with many employees who are tech professionals. That’s an interesting point though, the tech culture and media production culture definitely both seem to be at play here. This story just stirred up a lot of feelings for me on this recurring pattern I’ve been seeing in the tech industry as a whole, and many are rightfully pointing out that these problems aren’t just limited to the tech industry.

That’s a great point, unions are really under utilized in tech and would help a ton with this. I’m not sure if forming a union is 100% of the solution though, there are powerful unions in hollywood and sexism has still been allowed to run rampant there for example. Unions are comprised of the workers, many of whom are contributing to the problem, this isn’t just an issue coming from the top

Yep, and Samsung (basically the apple of android) already does this. It’s annoying having all these old proprietary Samsung fast chargers around now that I’ve switched to google. They still charge decently, I just wish everyone would use the free fast charging standard

The swastika is such a useful design shape, nazis really ruin everything

I just get AI to write my comments lol. I’ll paste the function or component and tell it to write comments in tsdocs format and it works great every time (I will also add to it sometimes of course).

Don’t get me wrong, I also write clean code with good function and variable naming, but I find comments are also useful for a few reasons; they make the code even more quickly readable, they can explain why the code is the way that it is, and my favorite reason, they make it so when you hover over a reference to the commented item in an ide you get an explanation of exactly what the code does and what it expects without having to find and read the code itself

YouTube is a full blown movie house as well as a place for independent creators *Oops I was wrong

Yeah that’s what I’m saying, I hate it when coworkers will assign everything as “any” just to avoid the scary red squigglies. Oh well I guess that’s what code reviews are for 🙃

I’m not sure if you’re being rhetorical or not, but “string|number” is definitely correct here. A computer could definitely figure this out, but typing is for the benefit of the coders more than the code itself. It’s basically functional documentation
