Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Legally Dubious but Fascinating”.
Uh Nicholas asked: where do you guys draw the line when covering topics that could be considered? Not quite legal? You guys have covered Plex, emulators pie, hole and the like um I mean for us. I think that our line is wherever the the community kind of kind of draws. It I mean we’ve, we’ve gone out of our way to make content, I think py hole is probably the biggest example of something that is a is a clear and obvious threat to our livelihood, and yet we cover it anyway, because we think the technolog is really Interesting there that’s the line if we think the technolog is really interesting, we’ll talk about it like this is not a. This is not a you know, an x-rated, you know R-rated podcast or whatever, whatever the adult rating for a podcast would be, but we regularly talk about uh.
You know PornHub, for example, if they’re doing something that we think is interesting from a technological standpoint or if Regulators are going after them in a way that could have an impact on the tech industry more broadly, so I I think, for us we are the internet In general, how is py hole a threat? Are you guys serious right now I mean it is they? Are? They are a user on float plane, so it’s not there you’re actually paying us for the content. Thank you very much, but um a huge part of our Revenue comes from advertising. Believe it or not.
I know it’s crazy right, like YouTube creators ads and that’s how they make my ad. What uh, I know I I am being nice, I’m I’m being I’m being nicely um understand that they might not have realized. That ads are what supports creators online. I I I was also confused by it. I I just had no idea doesn’t make any sense. I don’t get it .
