Im a web dev and I build almost all of my sites without cookie banner unless they’re really required (YouTube embeds, invasive tracking etc) and when I don’t include a banner, people usually think I forgot it.

It’s a shame that most people think the internet just has to be crap now and every site needs some dark pattern banner to track its users.

What works best for me is the web version on desktop with an ad blocker. Runs relatively smoothly, no annoying ads.

Some of my friends told me on separate Occasions that their Parents ,they are 1st Generation Immigrants to Germany, support our far-right Party AFD.

Yep, I can confirm that. The most racist people in my wider circle of friends and colleagues are Polish and Hungarian immigrants themselves.

They are extremely religious too and I think the propaganda often builds on their beliefs.

Lol I didn’t even know this community existed. To be fair their description even states that moderation is heavy handed.

Edit: Pretty sure that’s a troll community or something? Every single post there is kinda crap and is being downvoted.

Sure this can be bots but at least when I was still active this behavior was also just karma whoring by real people. Comment fast before the thread „expires“ and become one of the top rated comments.

Thanks Ned!

Where are you based? I think this is not available in the EU since Zuck wants to punish us for being privacy focused and threatening his exploitative business model.

Yeah that I think is the most upsetting part to me. Replace a perfectly fine product with a half baked one.

It is because it includes YouTube Music. A really crappy Spotify clone that nobody asked for.

Open AI‘s newest model is priced at 200 $ / month since they have been bleeding money and desperately need to earn some cash. This is probably the first sign of the bubble collapsing.
