Don’t let facts get in the way

Nostr really isn’t about the platform, it’s about the simple, platform-agnostic keypair setup that identifies you.

Are you really asking why advertising that “the following comment may be hallucinated” nets you more downvotes than just omitting that fact?

You’re literally telling people “hey, this is a low effort comment” and acting flabbergasted that it gets you downvotes.

It’s not irrelevant, it’s that you don’t actually know if it’s true or not, so it’s not a valuable contribution.

If you started your comment by saying “This is something I completely made up and may or may not be correct” and then posted the same thing, you should expect the same result.

That’s nice. Just exposing your dishonesty. Move along.

I’ll say this.

When I weigh the choice of handing over my personal videos to a company that is explicitly and actively going to use them to:

• train and improve their massive corporate AI tools
• develop their targeted ad platform (which is their real product)
• build a comprehensive profile about me and my family

Or

Putting a NAS at a friends house, or paying a couple bucks a month for some block storage.

I end up preferring the second set of options. It’s fine if you don’t, but don’t pretend you have no idea that your personal videos and information are valuable to Google.

Because, frankly, I don’t think you’re being honest.

Do you really not know how Google’s business model works, or are you playing dumb?

Is money is the only thing about yourself that you ascribe value to?

Nope. The admin of sh.itjust.works lets you use their storage for free. Google does not.

There are things that are free, Youtube is not one of them.

What other platform can I use as cloud storage for video files for free?

None. YouTube included.

You can sue for anything.

In addition to the education you got below, Trump wants to apply a 20% tarrif across the board.

Not even remotely the same as keeping existing ones.

Don’t “both sides” this issue.

And what other devices are on the network, and what they’re chattering about
