Thanks for the reply. Ultimately those sorts of things protect the “customer/investor” I’d presume.

This is a daft comment, so take a pinch of salt… but traditional banks lobby hard for deregulation, except when it comes to crypto.

I think its to do with holding too much cyrpto for yourselves. (I could be reading it wrong)

Same here! Kind of disappointed in this.

Will it cost a Mint?

Buy it on Bandcamp and download it. Or rip it to mp3/flac. Then blutooth the phone to the car radio.

Go to Bandcamp. Its usually there. Of course that site is in the shit for now thanks to their staff being laid off after a buyout, but the bands are still getting the money.

No, its worse than that as it pays far less. In the peak days of radio the artists/labels got a far larger cut than $0.003. It made many artists rich. These days who is really making a living?

If they gave half that profit to the artists on there, maybe. But they give about 10% iirc. Give up with these services and just buy the CD, vinyl or whatever. Then listen to your hearts content.

No, it literally comes up with an error on the screen. The submission box used to go after you submitted.

I cant afford things like apple products. Amazon has driven the price down for me on a fair few things. As much as I hate the company and the man behind it I cant always afford to go to some other store. Thankfully I dont buy much stuff.

Itried this morning. It doesnt work. Literally clicked the button and nothing happens.

I did try that. It doesn’t work. Something else is clearly going on.

It doesnt fund itself. It rakes it in.

A few ads are fine imo. The problem is I can watch a 9 minute video and be subjected to more advertising than the telly.

Twitter is not the internet, its now a misinformation site that financially rewards that misinformation. The slow death of twitter prompted the birth of threads, bluesky and mastodon to name 3. One goes, three rise. And nobody is being censored - thats the point. What this would be is the consequence of their misuse of free speech.

In the UK in the 1960s the Government fabricated “evidence” about train use so they could cut about 70% of the railways and sell the land on. It was known as the Beeching Report iirc.

Nevermind fining Twitter. Elon will see it as a badge of honour and Trumpspin.

What the EU needs to do is block access to the website outright across its member states.

Maybe we should be asking our favourite people on the site if they have alternative video sites they use?

Its probably an exageration by marketing corps tbh.

Yeah same here!
