Oh yea I don't mind paying, I'm not on fiverr to be cheap lol. Maybe I need to take a deeper look, most people on fiverr I had trouble with if what I wanted them to make me was more complicated than like a one sentence description lol. So I've never successfully had web design done off it.
However for things that require little to no explaining like getting a portrait made it's been awesome.
A stand-alone media file renamer/organizer with a nice webui that supports hard links.
Since I automate my torrent downloads I basically use the arr suite for just renaming and organizing which kinda over complicates things.
Rofl, it's a hobby, you do it for fun, you shouldn't need to get paid. I also play tennis as a hobby and I love to talk to people about it without charging them money believe it or not. The fetishization with internet fame, views, and money is making gaming weird.
I mean back when I was more into gaming I would contribute. I didn't expect money, I just did it because I was fun. I feel like there's a big disconnect between the current generation and my generation that wrote 300 page guides on gamefaqs for the hell of it rofl.
The difference is the decreasing availability of alternatives.
I mean I would argue it's related, the reason behind it is $$$. Corporate interests have homogenized content and de-normalized diversity and community.
People who use to just post their excel sheets and research on some bb forum for free somewhere starting getting paid by icy veins or maxroll. Overtime they establish a monopoly on the content and can do whatever the hell they want.
Why make a platform that depends on the community and you get the ad views when you can adopt a business strategy that also gets you youtube and social media views while eliminating your competition.
And the youtube trend is just people trying to emulate the handful of people who managed to make it big off the twitch/youtube bag.
As someone who's not an auditory/visual learner I feel personally attacked by this. I skipped class and stayed home and read the book/notes for a reason.
Cause you gotta get dem "views". Don't forget to smash that subscribe button.
The format makes no sense for the information being consumed, it's like this for their benefit not the viewers.
Even the Maxroll build guides are like, oh yea go view our youtube video to get all the info.
I just use an external wiki/pastebin and put links to it on my community sidebar and one pinned post.
Oh I get it, and I wasn't even blaming kbin, for all we know the issue is on lemmy's side, they have an open github issue for non-lemmy federation. I'm just saying the ecosystem as is relies on two separately developed platforms maintaining interoperability with each other.
I agree, I wouldn’t use the always on feature, would just be for a specific project.
According to this chart I’m going to sound like a beta male if I don’t buy it.
If only there was a way to combine them.
let me in
