Or are you telling me that vastly the fastest growing platform in history with multiple payment gates (subscriptions, pay per token, licensing etc.) was not profitable

Are you not aware that 99 times out of 100 if you see a tech company rapidly growing it’s completely unprofitable and not even attempting to be profitable yet? It’s called blitzscaling and is pretty clearly what openai is attempting. Like if you see a tech company quickly growing you should be assuming it’s unprofitable until proven otherwise not the opposite lol.

1. You use something as a baseline if you think they’re comparable. The cost of running a picture platform and a video platform are very different and would not justify a comparable split, much less a less favorable split. The split is unjustified by underlying platform costs and therefore greedy.

your insistent on there being malicious actions taken is so odd

2. What are you even trying to say? It’s odd to write a single comment saying that a YouTuber has an app with a poor revenue split? You’re a clown

Absolutely hilarious to compare the cost of hosting any video from anyone to a small selection of presumably handpicked pngs. Video is astronomically more expensive before even getting into the fact the successful videos subsidize the cost of hosting the petabytes of unsuccessful ones.

And then he takes even more!

Arch is like buying a Lego and putting it together versus an action figure. If you don’t enjoy putting together the Legos then what’s the point?

You should probably go with a ready to use distro
