Never went back to reddit. But i get it. My current blocklist on lemmy is longer than it ever was after 10 years of reddit. The relative amount of weird stuff on here is too damn high for a normie.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How, and why, are there so many AI-generated videos of incredibly obscure/niche topics?English
231·1 month agoMy guess(!): Big topics are already crowded by big channels which get an algorithmic boost because of their past success. Its harder to get your slop prominently shown and establish your content slop farm with these topics. While with niche topics its easier to get your video to the top of the search results.
There are opensource tools like https://n8n.io/ to automate the creation of slop content. From what i heard its piss easy to setup. Like here is a half an hour tutorial to set you up:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u54cy2nQigThen you shit out the slop content and hope your channel picks up. If it fails to drive numbers you abandon it and start with the next channel with the next topic variation. If you get lucky and the algorithm blesses you, you continue to shit out hundreds of videos.
As seen eg in the video of redlyne about the dead internet theory. Where he looks a bit into the slop channels on youtube and other stuff:

Probably came out of a easter lamb form for normally cake.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•does the quality of downloaded youtube video increase after being downloaded?English
1·2 months agoBut YT definetly fucks something up when stable volume is enabled. My non audiophile ass can notice it instantly even with podcasts. It sounds significantly worse.

pics@lemmy.world•Someone asked for one more phone astro pic so here it isEnglish
7·2 months agoNot OP but i often just use the timer in these cases. I also have a cheap bluetooth remote that was included with a selfie stick ten years ago(got it for the 1/4" thread to put my phones on a tripod).
But atleast on android you can also use most bluetooth game controllers as a remote to release the shutter. I snapped quite a few pics with my xbox and 8bitdo(small and pocketable) controllers over the years.Edit: Which reminds me that my old DSLR had a IR receiver for remotes. So i often just borrowed my parents tv remote in the night because one random button had the same ir signature as the official camera remote of the manufacturer. Good times

6·2 months agoWhat? ‘IF?’ ?? JUST TELL ME YOU STUFFED FUCK!!!
this will be xbox in 2032:

Same. Blocked .ml, blocked so many sublemmies, blocked certain topics and names and just a few users. With that its a pretty sweet experience. But when i visit logged out for one reason or another it gets ugly really fast.
Sometimes i get FOMO because a lot of .ml users post in a topic which i just cant see. But i made the mistake to unblock .ml twice and regretted it just in a few hours.
