but do you care for accountability or more safety (through lower crash rate)at the end of the day?

Between modern car safety standards and modern US healthcsre: accountability. The worst case scenario (where I still live) is drastic and I'd rather not add fighting a tech company in court on top of the medical burden, which I'll need to do just to afford the latter.

If you're aware of a medical burden, you've done a pretty good job of avoiding the worst case scenario.

they are trying to move to subscription model, seems like a reasonable alternative

Are they? I’m not convinced that could make more revenue from subscriptions compared to ads.

I've been a subscriber for years. I want the creators to get money. They have a music app attached that's free. It's honestly really great.

I'm in a similar boat (grandfathered from Gplay), but remain apprehensive that the prices will continue to rise and the window will continue to shift towards enshitification.

I'm not worried as long as Google keeps their generous revenue split. The way it's set up now, effectively 50-50, means that the incentives of the creators and the service are aligned. Both parties want as much viewership as possible. If Google stops sharing revenue, then Google has an incentive that doesn't align with the creators, as the quality of the product effectively isn't important, and the quality creators will leave to another platform.

When that happens, I'll likely just move to Nebula.

you can ask it to remove, it does p good job at it

its other way around, openai was gonna announce it so Google upstaged

it's insane on lmarena for a size, livebench should have it soon too I guess

The size isn't stated, not necessarily a given that it's as small as 1.5-Flash.

this is just not true, even the huge creators mention that it's usually 30-50% of their revenue.

This is likely skewed by the creators I follow. I imagine there's a lot of youtube poop child audience content that's near 100% ad revenue.

Personally speaking, if low quality "creators" suffer I won't feel bad.

it's subsidy, personally feel like that shouldn't be your model for sustaining that is barely amazon's fault here, they did their part but there doesnt seem to be market around it

they are usually couple of dollars more (for $20 range rides) but I think their demand supply is so skewed that it surges almost all the time it feels like

if you are primary payer, you still get it I think
