The poll found 50% of Democrats approve of how Biden has navigated the conflict while 46% disapprove — and the two groups diverge substantially in their views of U.S. support for Israel. Biden’s support on the issue among Democrats is down slightly from August, as an AP-NORC poll conducted then found that 57% of Democrats approved of his handling of the conflict and 40% disapproved.
It’s telling about one of us alright…
I’m not sure if you think “free” here means without paying, or if you don’t understand the difference between the ability to access information and the ability to force others to view information
“information should be free”
“Here’s this massive source of literally all the information that could ever exist.”
“People should have to pay for that because I don’t want to watch ads.”
Now you’re violating both versions of “free” by both creating a closed system where before it was not and requiring a barrier of entry most won’t overcome.
Jokes on you, I think YouTube is terrible, and should be split apart or run democratically. If it shut down, it would suck for a while, but we’d be better off as a society with more fragmentation. I’d be fine with less video and more blogs even, but that doesn’t work so long as the platform is so large
Also, the value of ads is on conversion rate. Lower value means you need more ads per view, and users will only tolerate so many ads (0 for me). This is a losing move for YouTube, which is why they’ve quickly rolled it back when they did this previously
But if you don’t get the concept of how these types of ads restrict freedom of information, I don’t know what to tell you
