You can take the commenter out of R*ddit…
Calling wokeness a buzzword is like calling pornography a buzzword. People may struggle to define it, and definitions vary a lot, but everyone knows it when they see it.
I felt the Geidi Prime stadium scene was an infra-red footage showoff first and foremost. I wondered why so much runtime went toward setting up
the na-Baron, only for him to die in the last 10 minutes.
Granted, I haven’t read the books. Perhaps it’s key to the story later, or illustrates something about the Harkonnens…

Advertisers can pay more to stay in the room than you will realistically pay to have them expelled.
We don’t want defed because it’s a sledgehammer ‘solution’ that immediately denies us agency and reeks of Reddit-tier pre-emptive sub banning.
The Nazi Bar idea is for the most part a boogeyman.
I suspect a lot of users with silly warnings in their profile like OP described haven’t bothered configuring their Upload/Download preferences. The tools for managing slot numbers and queue scheme (round robin v. FIFO) are all there.
Has it occurred to you that commerce might see advantage in weaponizing the Streisand effect?
Thanks for posting, OP.
So you’re telling me the model cannot consistently run at a profit, even through it relies on a massive unpaid labour force.
That’s not the look of a bigot, it’s the look of a man who’s fed up with low-rent posturing clickbait. The look of someone who got a Salon article entitled What your household’s toothpaste preferences say about White Fragility™ that he knows will be paygated or cookienoticed after two seconds’ scrolling.
Telemetry, advertising, etc. are ultimately web page elements that I can download or block. The paid offering might have a TOS that requires acceptance of such, but those terms do not bind me as a free, public visitor. I think Youtube is doing its best to have people buy its nonsense argument, as part of a wider campaign to shift the public’s understanding of web site versus web service. For what it’s worth, I don’t see them ever putting their money where their mouth is by pay-walling the whole site.
Alternative frontends don’t fall under piracy by any definition. Youtube’s servers are publicly accessible.
Banding and blocking are associated with low bitrates. Bitrate is a key consideration in video encoding. Either it is constant, where you set a value of 2000 kbits, 5600, etc. and Handbrake sticks to it, or variable, where you set a quality rate factor, and Handbrake then adjusts bitrate on the fly to maintain quality X. Variable approaches will provide an average bitrate.
Occasionally DVD sources will compress really inefficiently: no matter how much bitrate you throw at it, the encoded result is substantially worse than source. But typically I’ve found RF 18-21 does a good job. I use mediainfo to ascertain bitrates and other information.
I pulled these settings from a DVD profile I made. They go in the ‘More Settings’ box
bframes=16:ref=16:fast-pskip=0:dct-decimate=0:aq-mode=2:aq-strength=1.0:qcomp=0.65:me=umh:me-range=32:psy-rd=0,0:deblock=-3,-3
Care to demonstrate ‘looks worse’? Are visual artifacts showing up? Are the sources DVD or BD? What encoding speed is in use? What special parameters are specified (More Settings box) in the video tab?

SHUT IT DOWN
This write-up articulates the issues from the perspective of a security lecturer. The core issue really is ownership of technology.

Whatever the appearance of competition between, say, Apple and Facebook, Big-Tech companies collude to maintain interlocking systems of controls that enforce each others shared values including sabotage of interoperability, security and inviting regulation upon themselves to better keep down smaller competitors. Big-Tech comes with its own value system that it imposes on our culture.
Pepper grinders exist so you can make sure you’re not at a diner.
Are you trolling? No enterprise would ever compete with free. They will scream for an onerous legislative solution, which will make all our lives more difficult.
