This was a potential explanation as to why Bezos did that https://lemmy.haley.io/post/1058450

How much money do you donate to your ad-free lemmy instance? Or the rest of the free services you’re using?

For the vast majority of people, that number is $0.

The 3DS has a screen that size?

Edit: I’m dumb, I made this comment thinking this alarm clock was a watch…somehow. It definitely looks like the sameish size screen

That’s cool. Personally I just integrated it into my normal chat client by connecting Aichat, which supports a ton of backends including Ollama and hosted options, with Matrix.

It’s definitely instance dependent. I run the servers for my instance at the closest Hetzner data center to myself (west coast USA) for latency reduction and over-size/engineer it for better perf.

My instance is open for registration too, if anybody reading here would find that useful.

Do you think that Amazon gets its content (movies on Prime video) for free? Or do you think that piracy sites pay for their content (stolen movies on torrent sites)?

Edit: To answer you more directly, YouTube pays creators a cut of the ad revenue, and Amazon/Netflix pay the movie/show creators through licensing deals.

That just makes sense though? The legit sites have to pay for, fund, or in some way support the content which does cost money. The piracy sites obviously don’t have that cost so they don’t need as much income.

The piracy sites also pay a lot less in infra, since they rely on the user to store, seed to others, and serve the content to the local users. All that infra is offloaded to the user.

That is a lot of effort to go through to avoid using a VPN.

What could content creators switch to that would save your own bandwidth?
