No way I’ll use YouTube with ads. The amount of your lifetime they waste is what I’d consider disrespectful to their users. Even if the ads were bearable, I wouldn’t turn off my ad blocker on any Google site for tracking alone.
I also don’t see myself subscribing to YouTube Premium, firstly because it’s too expensive (stop including your music streaming service and make it cheaper maybe?), but also because YouTube is just a platform with a lot of not curated content that YouTube had no part in creating.
Let’s see how the cat and mouse games between YouTube and ad blockers and alternative frontends go. If it’s too much of a hassle, I’ll just stop using YouTube. I don’t miss Twitter, I don’t miss Reddit, and I won’t miss YouTube.
“In analyzing the availability of the immunity offered by Section 230, courts generally apply a three-prong test. A defendant must satisfy each of the three prongs to gain the benefit of the immunity:
The defendant must be a “provider or user” of an “interactive computer service”.
The cause of action asserted by the plaintiff must treat the defendant as the “publisher or speaker” of the harmful information at issue.
3. The information must be “provided by another information content provider”, i.e., the defendant must not be the “information content provider” of the harmful information at issue.”
If Reddit the company is now picking and choosing who approves or blocks harmful information, are they an information content provider now? Are they liable if their chosen mods allow harmful content?
Zero Escape series: I love them, even ZTD. Some hated that ending, while I don’t think it’s that bad.
Infinity series:
Never7 is very slow, and romance heavy with bit sci-fi. I don’t like this game
Ever17 starts getting better, leaning more towards sci-fi, but can still be quite slow
Remember11 is the best among the infinity series, it’s sci-fi horror mystery. Some say the ending is kinda incomplete due to budget issue, I’d say that the ending is bit of cliffhanger, but the main story is more or less complete
Raging Loop: a really good supernatural horror mystery. Maybe even better than Zero Escape series. I highly recommend this.
Paranormasight: a solid horror mystery VN released this year, there’s some smart puzzle and writing, but the ending is kinda unfulfilling.
Meitantei Conan & Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbou: it’s fan translated DS game. I am a Kindaichi fan, and the Kindaichi section is good mystery. The Conan part is … well, I’m not into Case Closed, their mystery always feel bit geared towards kids.
Danganronpa series: There are parts of the games that I like, but somehow I couldn’t stand the annoying character tropes prevalent in the series, and also those fan-service-y part. Some people dislike the final ending, I’m ok with it.
Root Letter & Root Film: Root Letter starts out good, but somehow one of the endings ruined the whole game. Root Film starts off promising, but the deduction part is kinda stupid and boring. Also the ending is not good.
Policenauts & Snatcher: They are quite interesting. I enjoyed Policenauts quite a bit. Snatcher is good too.
Silver Case: couldn’t stand the banter and writing. Everything feels so slow, and very Suda51.
13 Sentinels Aegis Rim: quite a solid sci-fi kitchen sink visual novel. It does feel like they are biting more than they could chew though.
AI the Somnium File: okay sci-fi mystery VN, I don’t think it hits the high of Zero Escape.
Fatamorgana: I thought it was a murder mystery VN, didn’t realize it’s more romance, couldn’t get into it.
Steins; Gate: I tried to like this game so many times. Okabe the main character is very grating.
I’ve probably missed some, I recently bought Root Double, which is from the co-writer of the Infinity series, heard that it’s really good.
VA-11 Hall-A! One of my favourite VN if my instance url didn’t give it away. It’s not too long, listen to the start telling you to get cozy and then mix drinks and change lives.
Fuck them. I don't give a damn anymore. I'm staying here even if u/spez shoots a video crying like a little baby revoking API changes and begging people to come back
