It's great, but very late. I'm unsure about the pricing - $10 is very pricey (I pay ~$20 for internet). I would've /thought/ about it if it was $5, though, to be fair, I'm not a huge Youtube user.

It's about damn time. I hope the pricing will be reasonable, and that it will also remove all those "recommended for you" videos... Though, that sounds very unlikely.

So how do you fix it? I don't really see another way to rank large amounts of stories other than points. Sure, you can try to detect cheating, but you want a minimal amount of false positives, too.

Edit: missing word

It doesn't do anything for me, at least.

I do love the comments, but I rarely have anything to add, so I don't really need an account. :)

Definitely. It allows people to discover more videos without creating the annoyance of having to change volume for every video.

Yeah. The main attraction of HN is the links. Comments are usually nice to read, but I rarely have much to add to the discussion.

Good. I absolutely hate videos that are so low volume that I have to turn Youtube up to 100%, and then adjust volume in Windows too, to hear anything. And then imagine finding one of the louder videos next.

I've tried to give people advice on volume levels, but it feels like no one is willing to do it. Hopefully Twitch will do something similar soon, too.

I agree. MMOs used to fill this purpose for me, but recently they have been becoming less popular, with games like LoL taking over with rounds lasting <1 hour, after which you never see the players again.

eSports. There was a large CS:GO/LoL/SC2 tournament last weekend, where CS:GO gathered over 1 million concurrent viewers during finals (last tournament had 460K!). While LoL has been a big player for a while, and probably continues to be in Asia, CS:GO is growing rapidly in the west.

Finland too. Might be US-only?

If they have computers, or if you can get them ones, Minecraft is a good idea. Highly moddable, in multiple languages, huge communities and Redstone! Plus, it's fun.

Why?! According to Wikipedia[1] there's been a transitional period since 2012 (for data transfer). I can not see any downsides to banning roaming charges (within EU).

What other, user-friendly payment providers are there for MEGA to use?

I mean the (re-)encoding, not the resolution.

Patreon-style payments are what I meant by donations, but I guess people just won't trust Google enough for that.

Why does Youtube not have pay-to-watch channels, or just the ability to "donate" to channels? This is a huge deal on Twitch (channels have thousands of paying "subscribers").

Definitely. They try to compress the videos as much as they can, load comments only if you scroll down etc.

And the video quality is (still) terrible, or possibly even getting worse.

There's this: https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions Which displays the videos the channels your subscribe to have uploaded (newest first).

I got motion sickness from Rift DK2. The low resolution was the most noticeable thing, so I think it's a combination of things. Plus, some people get motion sickness, some don't.

Do you direct users there for troubleshooting etc?

Do you have a forum for the users? The amount of help your users can provide to each other is massive.

I actually thought about making an app like this. Glad someone made it! Any plans to include small file transfers (like photos)?

Touhou is amazing. I don't really care for the games, but the community around it is huge and creative. ZUN's music is great, but the community also creates their own versions, in so many different genres.

Well, I'm not really sure what it is, but sounds exciting. You should add some pictures and explanation on what you are doing.

Well, in Team Fortress 2 you kind of do that... with deaths. You get a freezecam shot when you are killed, and "Press X to save this moment!", which when you quit the game, gives you Steam's picture uploading menu where you can name it etc.

I think it's mainly about telling the readers who Tim Cook is. The name doesn't ring a bell for many, but when you refer to news about him, it's a bit easier to remember.

Can't say I hate it, I just had a bad experience with it yesterday. I wanted to buy an album, that's only on sale on iTunes. The following happened:

    I could not buy it on the web - I have to download the program!
    The .exe I was given did not work on my PC - I needed the 64bit one, which was hidden in some support article
    In the setup I selected English, but the program launched in Spanish instead
    The program froze when I changed the language
    Nowhere could I see what format/quality the music would be

I did not end up buying that album.
