Youtube Rant from a paying customer

I used to use NewPipe back in the days of yore. Then I got Youtube Premium since it bundled in Youtube Music as well which I used. But the former’s app on mobile is a shit show. Even after paying, you are asked to tip random creators, purchase merchandise[ which are shown as actual ads below videos] and join channels to access...

I might be mistaken but, I think cellular carriers force 480p. I always use a VPN and PipePipe, LibreTube, or Clipious so, I don’t know for sure. Lol And, I do look for PeerTube content sometimes.

Yeah, I don’t think any of the “creator” advert things you mentioned have much to do with the big G. I’d guess that 70% of that goes to the channel. Hopefully that much or even more.

Either way, as someone who makes music and goes to local shows, I generally avoid YT and other big platforms. I encourage other bands to upload to PT and FunkWhale. They may as well upload torrents with how much artists get paid from streaming, and use whatever third party tipping platforms.

Well, there’s Gnutella. gtk-gnutella.sourceforge.iosourceforge.net/projects/gtk-gnutella/www.gnutellaforums.com

This may be suitable. I’m not sure, I admit that I haven’t used it mucb lately.

New VGM player: Benben v0.4.0 released (chiselapp.com)

So, I’ve been working on a new VGM player for Linux over the past year called Benben. It started out just a way for me to have fun with VGM files, and to build a player that had a few extra bells and whistles compared to VGMPlay, but it’s grown quite a bit since then. I just released v0.4.0 of it today :D There’s a Linux...

Does the Erika Synths Black System iii count? It’s sold as one big alien monster…

Otherwise, the Twisted Electrons MEGAfm.

I have one of these already!

Well, the MEGAfm uses two Sega Genesis frequency modulation sound chips so, if you’ve ever played one of them you’ve got an idea of some of it’s capabilities and sounds. This brings it to a whole new level.

As you might imagine, finding working hardware from the early 90’s is not that easy so, these are a fairly rare item. I feel like I need to get a vault just for it. It’s definitely not seeing many, if any, live shows. It’ll be staying in my studio and be used for recording authentic chiptunes.

I’ve got an older version with the older, grittier chips. I haven’t played it actually as I’m still just getting set up. Tomorrow, or this weekend, I’ll have the rest I need. Really, it’s just a proper MIDI cable. Lol

The Black Systems iii looks sick. It’ll be a few years before I can afford that thing. Lol.
