A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

But they're only getting paid by advertisers for actual ad views, so premium users don't make them any money from advertising.
And, you're assuming that YT isn't clever enough to cover all the bases? They're taking money from every side they can think of, and they know damn well that openly talking about ad-blocking inherently risks introducing the concept to new consumers, much less normalizing the whole concept.
YT is clearly juuust fine with money from pretty much anywhere, and I certainly have no delusions that any "premium" service is only temporarily off-limits from that greed. Not just YT's, either. Netflix & Amazon've already done exactly that and completely gotten away with it —to the mildest of whines from the consumer base. 🙄🤮🤷🏽♂️
It's all smoke & mirrors, and we each have a choice to believe their bullshit or not. You like steak or clarity?
