Let's not forget about the fact that there need to be general purpose viewer instances that users can sign up to for watching content, because uh while accessing through Mastodon or Lemmy is a cool feature people want to be able to save Video lists and have watch history, things that don't work at all or well when using a Link aggregator or a Microblogging service to access the content.

Second law of thermodynamics:
II. Total amount of entropy in a closed system always increases with time. Entropy can never be negative.
Entropy and disorder tends to increase with time.
It is sad, really thought they were trying to do something good but I guess they were just trying to chase trends, they're pursuing the AI trend now heavily, and a lot of Firefox users are pissed about it, many think they are shutting down because they don't get the positive feedback and enthusiasm about AI that they were hoping to on Mastodon, as they do on other platforms like twitter and threads.
I would say it's actually harmful to go around calling everyone who disagrees with you "pro genocide" while claiming to support Palestine. That's what Linkerbaan has been doing, plus trying to start trouble with any moderator who banned him. Let us be clear, the reason why Linkerbaan should be banned is that he is well known for harassing people, making false claims, and being uncivil in general by claiming anyone who disagrees with him is "pro-genocide". He isn't doing the pro-Palestine movement any favors by lashing out at random people and claiming anyone who pushes back against him is pro-Israel and/or pro-genocide.
It's because they are simpler devices which are much less infrastructure dependent, and also less power hungry. A single battery charge in a pager will last you much longer than a single battery charge on a smartphone.
Also due to their lower infrastructure requirements they can function even if cellular networks are not functioning, at all or optimally.
It was you who decided to continue replying after a whole day and you had nothing left to say, because you can't address any of the points I've made with real logic, or try to devalue it by trying to claim people aren't reading it, because you don't have a better argument. Your whole first page is full of replies to this thread, you've thought about nothing else besides this for the past few days, yet you don't think you live rent free in my head 🤣
I mean it's kind of amazing that LW admins haven't banned him for this, really reflects poorly on our instance that people like him are allowed to thrive and troll here.
I guess it seems I'm the one living rent free in your head lmao
Mastodon has the ability to blacklist certain email providers, and I think also email IP addresses.
That's one thing that nobody really ever talks about when it comes to discussing payment verification. The fact that the people who are willing to commit scams and fraud are also willing to steal credit or debit cards.
They usually get found out pretty easily and then defederated by everyone. There's a service called fediseer which allows instance admins to flag instances as harmful, which other admins can use to determine if they should block an instance.
In order for that to really work they would have to rotate between a lot of domain names either by changing their own instance's domain or using a proxy. Either way they'd run out of domains rather quickly.
It's way easier for them to just get accounts on the big servers and hide there as if they were normal lurking users.

Advertising these days is less of a way for websites and services to make free money.
Of course websites and services that serve ads will deny this vehemently because advertisers who become aware of such practices (typically known as click fraud) will cut off those websites from ad revenue very quickly and stop serving ads there.
The idea is to trick the advertising companies into thinking that we are there and we are watching, and we care, so that they will pay money to the website to display ads there.
