They will now need to change over to a new or backup communication system, with both the changeover and new platform bringing risks.



That seems like an even worse place to move you to!

Only the delivery team had to actually lift a 400 lb TV by 1/2" sloped handholds. I'm the warehouse, we had forklifts and pallet jacks to handle that.


I guess it's living up to Betteridge's law. "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headline...

edit: I see its already been mentioned by poochipie.


Or you do support those and they introduce ads later.

Unfortunately for users, advertisers will keep throwing money at the problem until the provider finds it attractive enough to add ads, or the provider builds up the user base to make it attractive for ad revenue. Same result.

Then you got fleeced I guess. But it doesn't have to happen this way. Existence of Nebula is a good example. Fortunately it also has some of my favorite YouTubers. I pay for premium but if YouTube ever pisses me off, it will take 5 mins for me to cancel and move to nebula.


Nebula has about 11 videos. You tube was named you-tube because it was you and me on the tube. I can't go frictionlessly upload and then share a video on Nebula, nor can I see you on Nebula.

Nebula is nice and all but it is not an actual answer to the problem of current youtube.

thought your comment was going to become a quote from the Artilleryman from Jeff Waynes musical version of War of the Worlds!

"We're gonna build a whole new world for ourselves. Look, they clap eyes on us and we're dead, right? So we gotta make a new life where they'll never find us. You know where? Underground. You should see it down there – hundreds of miles of drains – sweet and clean now after the rain, dark, quiet, safe. We can build houses and everything, start again from scratch. And what's so bad about living underground, eh? It's not been so great living up here, if you want my opinion."


That was exactly the association I had when I read it!


Imagine it has the same functionality as Bait car.. and not allow the occupants to exit the car either.
