This is all I need to never even look at a Jeep… how pathetic can these idiots get?
Never had a reason to block an instance, here or in mastodon.
I have no issue in paying creators with my YouTube Premium subscription. What annoys me is seeing creators feed the algorithm with “regular posts” or create filler videos for sponsors when they have nothing to say.
That and seeing explainer videos from someone who learned something five minutes before recording… the number of copycats and regurgitating the same news content is depressing.
The same goes for the epidemic of faceless AI videos narrating generic content… horrible. The “don’t recommend channel” must be worn off by now, from me alone. :-)
Fantastic exceptions from talented creators make it worth it, so I am happy.
British humour gets me every time 😂
Not counting WordPress, that I really (really!!!) dislike (just because; your mileage may vary), I would say that Writefreely is the closest to traditional blog platform with activitypub baked in.

Really love podcasting. Last one I created was a decade ago, give or take, gotta do another soon. :-)
But I think you pretty much nailed the current state of affairs.
