Such a small share of ad-revenue goes to creators it’s not worth it.
Uhhhh I mean there are lots and lots of people doing it every day, so it very clearly absolutely is worth it for them.
It costs less to support the creators directly.
That’s great but it’s not sustainable.
Great, wave goodbye to all your favorite publications.
True but at the same time entire businesses are built on advertising and wouldn’t exist without it. All your favorite YouTubers, virtually all internet published media, etc.
You’re moving the goalposts. You were literally thanking Xi for “saving the climate”.
Once again, I am not having a pissing match about which country is better, I am discussing the success of electric vehicles from China.
That’s because they’re also heavily subsidizing that industry out of self-interest. That’s the “emerging markets” I mentioned above.
LOOOOOLOLOLOL have you looked at China’s greenhouse gas contributions lately? They don’t give a fuck about the climate, they’re just trying to drive other countries out of the market.
CCP subsidizes the absolute shit out of domestic EVs (and many other emerging technologies) which basically forces people to buy them, so it shouldn’t be any surprise they’re selling them like crazy. Meanwhile conservatives in the US are stripping incentives away.
E: holy shit, the Lemmy tankies are real. I literally only spoke negatively of the US and yet I’m immediately blasted with their default replies; whataboutisms and false equivalencies about the US, in a conversation about the European market.
E2: please read up on Predatory Pricing before replying to me.
Bad take. Those are simply not sustainable in most cases on their own. They just subsidize other revenue models.
