I’ve never had premium, mostly out of spite after the forcing ads on unmonetized creators and removing the dislike count, once I was able to afford it. But I’ve seen some other post on Lemmy with the “products you may like” appearing on a premium account.

I’ve seen people getting a “products you may like” in the suggestions, with premium. There is no way to remove that (other than uBlock origin)

It’s not just that, it’s also random content totally outside of your interest (I watch gaming and motorcycle content and it tries to feature some foreign holiday celebration videos lol) and worse, “products you may like.”

If I pay this kind of money, I expect an API to user-respecting third party apps.

That’s what they should do. Allow use of Reddit-style third party apps (before the API debacle) for premium users.

It’s not about paying, it’s about still getting these stupid featured pop-ups after paying.

This is the true reason why I don’t have YouTube premium. This is quite an awful experience for a supposedly premium subscription. Why pay for premium if the experience is better using free methods?

Please corporations, treat paying subscribers well.

Small security updates when necessary would be fine, but all the time I just see software (especially with the web) be like, we’re deprecating these features (that millions of websites use).

Stop forcing updates on the lower level stuff that forces people to spend billions on maintaining code. This way, we could return to a world where you can just buy software and use it for years without some update borking it.

Also outlawing financially motivated (i.e. greedy) retroactive ToS changes.

On storage, the markup is about 2000%.

And on RAM if we compare to DDR5 (not totally fair because of how Apple’s unified memory works), it’s about 800% marked up.

With how locked down mobile is compared to desktop I think it's a good thing to start with mobile

I think it should be a flat number of years like 20 years, giving the author plenty of time to exclusively control his IP and then afterwards they can still profit because they can still make things from the same IP and sell them to people knowing that they were the founder of the IP.

I feel like the death of the author clause gives a perverse incentive to murder the author so that their IP becomes public domain sooner.

Kudos for having the Pokemon adventure manga! I have a whole collection of them, and X/Y are the latest ones I have.

Gen 6 was the first new Gen I experienced unfold as a Pokemon fan. I remember having friends try to explain mega evolution to me and having my mind blown. Then I got Pokemon Y and was so enamored that I made a stupid little YouTube video of Blastoise mega evolving.

I have plenty of memories of X/Y, but I think other games have been more memorable: HG/SS, B/W (but strangely not B2/W2 as much), OR/AS (when that game turns 10 I'm gonna cry lol), and even [hot take alert] S/V.

I've noticed when I browse YT on Firefox with uBlock origin (usually for non-YPP channels or game OST videos I don't really want anyone profiting off of), everything grays out after a second. Currently I can click f to go full screen and remove that, but I don't think this workaround will work for long.

When I pay for a copy of a video game, pirating it is ethical imo. I already paid the devs for a copy of my game, so why should they care that I also play it on my phone on an emulator?

It’s also less buggy than red or blue.

Pokémon Yellow missingno with its 7 minute glitch cry would like to have a word with that.

All of Gen 1 and 2 have crazy glitches but you have to go out of your way to make them happen.

I hate the dumbed down battling system. Why can’t CP be a function of level and stats found in a regular pokemon game instead of one number to rule them all, and have the battles be like the mainline games?

Most of the time, it’s not the ads that bother me. Instead, it’s the sale of my personal info, autoplaying videos, and possible risk of malware that bothers me if I turn my ad-blocker off. I’ve tried several times to find a “fair” ad-blocker.

I love the concept of Scarlet/Violet because I hate how linear all the other games are. The bugs and frame drops made me hesitant to buy one, but recently I found a physical copy for $43 on Amazon so I decided to buy it. Just waiting for it to be delivered now…

It has to be HG/SS, although OR/AS and B/W also are close to my heart.

Pokemon GO hit it uses the real Pokemon battling mechanics in all battles (including wild encounters) instead of the dumbed down system currently in use. Catching and even monetization can remain the same.
