I'm willing to be self-aware about that. Maybe you can understand how that's hard when you feel slighted. I'm definitely willing to work twoards something less half-assed, but putting in that kind of effort for someone who doesn't seem to want to reciprocate is exhausting and I know from experience it's unsustainble.

If you want to move past this you know where to find me.

@Amoshias @anthony I'm still willing to continue the conversation in renewed good faith, but I don't think you care. Why do I even try...

I'm sorry if I offended you in any way.

I was exasperated. "What are you basing that off of" is an opaque and open-ended question. I could only assume that you meant for elaboration on "practical" and "secure". And then you asked it again, with absolutely no clarification.

How am I supposed to know what you're asking? Clearly I didn't get it right the first time, so why else would you ask it again like that if not to be a jerk? I was under the impression you didn't want a conversation; now I'm certain.

@Amoshias @anthony
I did not flip. Tone can't be easily inferred from text; it's a limitation of the medium.

Would you like to take the chance to clarify and elaborate what you're asking?

I'm open to continuing and reseting the "tone" of the conversation, but I'm currently not under the impression you actually want an answer because you won't give me the neccesary context to understand how to answer it.

@slumberingcat YouTube has operated on a loss for decades afaik. So the idea that PeerTube can enter that position just by adding ads leaves me skeptical.

Part of the issue is that adoption isn't as simple as providing an app. People use what they are used to. And I think you'll be hard pressed to get advertisers to jump on board from the get-go.

Then there's the stigma against ads (for good reason) in the FOSS community; this would be protested

Not impossible, just highly implausible.

Someone is incapable of providing a constructive conversation, it seems. Well whatever. Have a nice day.

I legitemately hope you get your priorities in order; or at least become capable of providing more than an infinite regress simulation.

This is getting absurd. What are you even asking about? I've used this feature plenty (even offline); it's great. You can view the source code if you don't trust the claim that it "never leaves your device"

I, myself, have found the feature practical. And it's not just me - translation services are as popular as ever. This is a local version of that.

What is your question? Elaborate. What does my reply need to be to satisfy whatever random whim you have right now?
