A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

TLDR of the article:

Google is showing ads outside of YT, in those side players that everyone hates while they just want to read articles, but counting them as normal views.

Maybe a singular high visibility charity that diverts money to registered instances based on need? The downside is that it's placing too much power in the hands of one entity which one day might go corrupt. There's also no guarantee that it would get enough donations to keep everyone afloat.

Clearly the thought requires refining. I would hope if something like this one day existed it would also point people towards charities that deal with things like food scarcity in impoverished areas or environmental preservation as well.
