Yes they are, I’m up 30% over the past 3 years. Just buying and holding index funds. If you chase big gains, you’ll get them sometimes, but you’ll also get big losses that just cancel them out. Slow and steady wins the race.

If people are destitute after a 5% drop, they really need to reconsider their investment strategy. Index funds are the only viable way.

So clearly you didn’t watch the video, or pay attention at all. The video is also just a giant ad for their merch.

SpicyLengthiness@lemmy.cato Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•I knew I should have turned off auto-update ugh English0·23 days agoStop telling me to listen. I cannot hear you. I can only read what you write.
SpicyLengthiness@lemmy.cato Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•I knew I should have turned off auto-update ugh English0·23 days agoI had intel hardware transcoding turned on for both JF and Plex. Many files did not work on JF. I am offended and annoyed because people keep telling me it’s my problem - when it’s not. It’s JF issues that are not solveable by me. I even went to the discord and talked to the devs, and they literally said “oh yea we don’t have tons of focus on the mobile apps unfortunately”, and acknowledged that my issue was a bug. Yet people continue to tell me “IT WORKS FOR ME SO YOU’RE DUMB.”
SpicyLengthiness@lemmy.cato Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•I knew I should have turned off auto-update ugh English0·24 days agoLol wut? I’ve never seen an ad on Plex. And it’s very easy to navigate, wtf you talking about.
SpicyLengthiness@lemmy.cato Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•I knew I should have turned off auto-update ugh English0·24 days agoOh so it’s my fault somehow? Sorry but if I use the same library on Plex vs. JF and one works fine, the other doesn’t. That’s not my fault lol. It was set up to hardware transcode, and still didn’t work for many files. Plex did. Same with subtitles. I watched the same file with PEX and JF side by side. Same directory. Subtitles worked with Plex, all fucked up with JF. JF also crashed all the time on my Nvidia Shield.
SpicyLengthiness@lemmy.cato Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•I knew I should have turned off auto-update ugh English0·24 days agoLucky you, I did the exact same thing and had plenty of issues. Switched back to Plex, with the exact same library, and had none of those issues.
SpicyLengthiness@lemmy.cato Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•I knew I should have turned off auto-update ugh English0·24 days agoBecause it fucks up subtitles on their Nvidia Shield and firestick apps, and has issues with transcoding too. If you’re purely using the desktop app, or browser then it’s better. But Plex just works in every aspect. Subtitles, transcoding, sharing libraries. Have had no issues or weird bugs. Anytime I try JF I have to dive deep into resolving bugs, some of which are unsolvable by me.
SpicyLengthiness@lemmy.cato Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•I knew I should have turned off auto-update ugh English0·24 days agoThe apps don’t work well at all. If you’re just desktop based, its fine. But Nvidia Shield app, firestick app, mobile app, all have issues with hardware transcoding, and also somehow doesn’t handle subtitles properly. I have had both Plex and Jfin set up side by side multiple times, trying to test if I can make the swap. But JF just has too many bugs on their apps, which is what I use primarily, as do my users.
It’s definitely not common sense lol. People love to gamble and dream.
