The “never obsolete” refers to a subscription service, where they would periodically send you updates somehow. LGR has a good video on this.

They probably want to monetize on podcasts too, in the same way they do on videos and music. At the moment, Google Podcast is completely free and ad-free.

Did they not try to bake in a digital assistant in Windows previously?

The bar is pretty low.

I came here to say exactly this. IG and all the others are private companies, with their own terms and conditions one agrees on, and also agrees those terms can be changed by them at any time. Moderation of content is part of it. Deal with it, or don’t use them at all.

Thanks!

Explain?

I don’t think so, because forcing users to post means shitposting.

I can understand. After the initial excitement, the content is lacuster and scarse compared to reddit (due to lack of large userbase)

Why pics on lemmy.world are so much worse than /r/pics?

Gives an idea of the amount of data YouTube is storing, if only this one channel is 250GB!
