What's the advantage of using lynx as opposed to Chrome/Safari and using the read aloud features?

Excellent write up that touches on a lot of things, and the thinking is sound. The money quote is at the bottom, and is worth sharing here. > While the narrative of Google’s decline makes for compelling headlines, it overlooks a deeper t

You dont offer anything :) I cant copy/paste your website and rehost it on my domain (and remove ads or whatever) and claim that I'm doing everyone a favor. There's a word for it - and it is called stealing.

I didnt say any of that. You dont need to put words into my mouth to "win an argument". I think it is reasonable to assume that most popular YTers are in a discord/telegram/whatsapp/text chain together. This is thei

> they should have forced them to spinoff YouTube and other non-search monopolies google has that are insanely profitable. I dont think I follow the logic. Having a successful business is not grounds for "forcing" to spin out.

I know this is a flippant response, so I'll side step that and address the issue you're getting at. You make money by solving an inefficiency. "Payments on the web is hard. We'll make it easy" -> Stripe. "It

Ad Blockers are free, yeah? Do they charge money? The moment money comes in, different incentives kick in. You can do this as a passion, a hobby, or on principle. But the moment you want to make money, you'll be judged differently.

The incentives are also not aligned here. You make money if there's more ads in the podcasts. In a world where there's no ads, your company wont exist. So at some point, you'll have to start prioritizing making money ("p

Interesting idea, and good job for getting ahead of the obvious criticism and doing a rev share. However, this wont work. If there's an ad for Coca Cola, the whole reason why Coca Cola is paying the podcast host is so that the message

That's a weird position to take. Are you also against people using Photoshop/Canva/MS-Paint/Figma to create graphics? You come across super elitist.
