I've seen Fedora lauded for being so responsive, and I'd probably go for that over the super bloated Ubuntu. I know it's not debloated either but that is preferable over dealing with Arch which needs a lot of tinkering time which eats into my work time.

Article has none of these, just intensely flavoured waffle.
YouTube already did the math, as did almost every single company and corporation on the planet.
There's a lot more revenue in advertising than subscriptions, especially on a website that started off entirely free (so Netflix for example goes in the subscription model rather than the advertising model but that seems to have changed!)
There's a mass of people who follow up on these advertisements. The latest advertisements I've encountered on YouTube are really really calculated and well scripted. For example the digital dollar advertisements sound like they're going to save you from financial ruin. It's clever and it's working. Money is pouring in.
The Chinese consumers have been eating up ads like that for their TVs to power on for roughly half a decade at least. I'm talking Xiaomi. Chinese consumers are the perfect ad(shit)-eating consumer; so docile and they like to burn money (I mean, they do...literally).
Saved, this is a large list and not just recent bestsellers. Definitely worth its salt.

It got on the news. They sacrificed their jobs for that at least.
I had the same thought lately that I just want a story based game to play, relax, maybe strategise a bit, like Baldurs Gate.
If free speech requires everyone who makes a statement or belief to engage in debate about it, I don't believe it would work very well.
I saw the video about a year ago, the one posted by gamma on this thread and the general summary I got from the video is that:
- For the immense time and expertise these children are putting into the game, they get a very small cut. And their social life and education will probably suffer so hey!
- A job comes with security and rights. These children get no rights as they are not on contract.
- There are predators on Roblox which the company is overlooking (as they are making huge games there, like the Sonic the Hedgehog Roblox game).
It's a very grey area that isn't regulated well.
I love lawful neutral. That made me chuckle.
So Xbox bought the studio about 3 years ago and then just went 'nah, not profitable.' Fuck Xbox.
