Youtubers are like celebrities
Do you think celebrities aren't influential? I mean that's how Trump became President. He had zero prior political experience.
Has PewDiePie done anything significant to help make a better change?
Doesn't matter if it's better or worse, the point is that he's influential. He's one of the largest YouTubers on the platform. But regardless, I would say that yes, he has, as in the video in the OP. Not just a Linux video, but a positive and comprehensive one.
It's long past being meaningless at this point, other than just a red flag of a toxic individual.
Same reason we have to care about literally anything Trump does or says: he's influential. Just in this case, it's a good influence.

Sentiment analysis on the conversation you were having?
Among other things, sure. More simply, keyword analysis.
Remember semantically aware models are still fairly new and even they lack the context for a particular field of text.
All of these "models" are useless garbage but it doesn't stop them from trying to absolutely cram them everywhere they can.
Unnecessary
None of what they do is "necessary". They could just ask you what your relevant interests are and you could tell them, but they do it anyway. They go to great lengths for any seemingly insignificant amount of data they can get their hands on.
Both of these apps have device-level notifications to let you know when an app is listening. I promise they're not. There was a service a while back that was claiming this in their advertising and it went public and their partners all scattered like flies. No one wants to be associated with that sort of thing. It's unnecessary anyway.
you'd have to store and process hours and hours of audio data that didn't tell us much
I mean that could be solved as simply as a local transcription service...

It's illegal if antitrust action is anticipated
That seems like something that would be difficult to prove.
I hardly think $27.5k could be considered "jacking up the price" but I also don't appreciate advertising pricing that is dependent on a government incentive that may not even exist when the vehicles are actually delivered.
I've always wondered, is this illegal? Like obviously it is if they've already been subpoenaed or something.
Thank you for proving my point.
