Which is contradictory to the first line of the linked essay.
Is it though?
Current sign-ups are likely through Patreons own payment system, which will stay as it is. It would be like signing up in the web version, then going on to use the iOS app. That wouldn’t suddenly subtract 30% from a payment Apple has no control over.
Right? Why do anything. Who needs more than a terminal interface anyway.
Edit: I really don’t understand what the sentiment here is. Any UI changes are somewhat arbitrary. I don’t get why that’s an issue.

Have an ad instead
Nokia doesn’t make smartphones either, they licensed their brand name to HMD Global.
(In case you might find that curious)
Yeah, I figured to look right after i made the comment, which is why I deleted it again. But I guess that didn’t come through for you

shows who they are.
A corporation. And when corporations have to make a choice, profit will always come first.

“It” does seem like the way to go here, as it is referring to a built-in “anon” user account (best as I can tell).
How is that ironic?
You didn’t purchase a “HowToGeek” licence, I imagine. Nor was one included with your PC.
Just because you wouldn’t, means people shouldn’t be able to? Like, at all? Do with the device they bought as they wish?
why the need to join the Google group?
Because closed beta
YouTube is testing a feature where it’ll pop up a button to intelligently skip ahead if you skip once, or so I’ve heard.
That sounds a lot like sponsorblock.
Though it won’t be fully automatic.
The WiFi toggle is still there in quick settings (tap on the round WiFi icon, rather than the text)
what makes phones different in that regard?
Corporate greed
It possibly seeing a legal precedent is the scary part.
Small artists would get shafted one way or the other.
And ideally they wouldn’t. Letting AI companies take as they please is one part of that, therefore it should be stopped.
Injustice is such a frustrating thing. But when the opposing party has trillions of dollars and you draw in your free time there’s literally nothing you can do. So much for equality.
You do not read long posts, remember?
“though it is true I initially didn’t […]”
That said, I read it again, I suppose I have been uncharitable. You make some good points, and perpetual ironclad intellectual property hoarded by massive corporations isn’t something my current views adequately address.
But just because I don’t have an answer to that doesn’t mean I have to agree with AI companies scraping every last corner of the internet for their datasets.
You say you disagree with property owners always receiving compensation for their work being used.
To some extent I agree with your disagreement.
Even so I cannot view AI companies taking the work of whomever they please without compensation as morally justifiable. Especially if those artists are small and have no way to defend themselves.
IP hoarders are a separate issue.
Ah, like so. I thought you were referring to the article on the Patreon website with your initial comment, rather than the article in the post itself.
You’re right, the article is wrong. “Gross revenue” makes no sense.
