I don't find Nebula to be an adequate replacement for youtube, but if they ever figure out how to keep me from blocking ads, Ima gonna change my mind.
Knew from inception Gemini was shit
Gemini is actually legit the best LLM I've used locally for anything, consistently faster and more accurate than even models taking up about double the resources
Shame it's stupid locked down even in my ollama installation and it's near impossible to get it to do something daddy google doesn't like. Ah well, works really well for checking my garbage config files lol
Long as you like it, let it run. Its only gotten in my way by forcing tabs into my browser and asking if I want to converse with it in my messages app

Content creators need to eat. Platforms need to pay bills and employees. This is, and always has been, central to the issue but nobody will examine it. When presented with two options, one for 1 penny per year with no ads or a free version with ads, people will take the free one.
So there's a push pull happening. People won't pay. Creators need money. Platforms structure to meet the market conditions.
Leeches never stop to think about how content would ever get created if their 🧚magical utopia🧚 of decentralized, on-demand, ad-free video became real. They'll also never pay a motherfucking cent to anybody ever, they'd rather have laborious semantics debates about the meaning of the words "steal" and "theft".
