    I think the "devil's advocate" should be wearing devil horns or something so people can't clip things out of context. Maybe a banner to put on screen and a timer as Dan said. Definitely worth keeping the segment around.

    I believe one of Twitters argument, and a big one, was that of monetization and ad revenue. Those APIs can display twitter content but not the Ads and therefore Twitter was not making money. This is pulling all those third-party eyeballs back to Twitter so that they can monetize them. Not how I would have done it, but I think that's the biggest reason.

      I think Casey hit what is likely the reason for this change, which is control mainly on user experience.

    Playing devil's advocate is super fun because your "defense" usually makes the company/argument look terrible. You should 100% keep this segment, it gives us a window into a universe where Luke and Linus are capitalist sociopaths.
    We had to argue for our opposing political ideology in a debate class so I ran with it and focused on "anchor babies" the entire time (it was the latest conservative insanity at the time). The conservative professor was _not_ amused, but I got an A lol

Like, anything really, can say that. "We don't want third party apps of our app/service."... That seems entirely reasonable to me. Especially if those third party apps are literally taking money away from you (By not displaying ads).

    As someone who works at UbreakIfix, the authorized repair centers for almost all of the US, most non OEM Samsung parts are awful. There's plenty of places that make quality aftermarket parts for Apple products, but for some reason that just hasn't happened with Samsung yet, also the screen is essentially part of the frame on Samsung devices, and repairing them without the frame is less cost effective from the perspective of labor costs. All in all I'm very pro right to repair, and would love to see quality aftermarket Samsung parts and more 3rd party, and affordable repairs

    If Linus was using floatplane & the lab to present product comparisons in a new way while also figuring out how to monetize it so that Linus can continue to provide this product comparison service far into the future -
    He also wouldn't want people ripping off his comparison videos & monetizing their own version of his work (along with not updating their third party app with the features that he is adding to the Lab)
    Luke would also clearly bring up the fact that
    "LINUS - WE NEED TO MAKE MoNEyEYY"
    If looked at closer - Linus is being hypocritical in this argument against twitter...

    • @EliStettner
      @EliStettner Před rokem

      Well, the whole idea of Twitter, why it was adopted over other microblogging sites, was that it was a completely open website. The api’s were open, and people could do fun and interesting intergrations with data on Twitter. This open policy had costs to Twitter, but that was the cost they paid for relevance. After 2016 Cambridge Analytica, many websites began pulling back control of their API’s. Twitter’s approach was to not add certain features to their API, like polls or group DMs. Twitter, as it has gotten older, has tried to capture more of the ecosystem which it created, which relies on its servers yes, but which only grew because of their open policy towards the API. Nobody criticizes Facebook for having a closed down API, which is mostly because they got hit extremely hard by Cambridge Analytica. But the big difference is that Facebook posts are meant to be semi-private, but Twitter was meant to be an open platform which anyone could interact with. Twitter is within its rights to close their platform, but ultimately (along with many other things they have done) kills what made Twitter unique.
