A bit off-topic but I find the effect when you mouse over the logo is very uncomfortable to look at.

Re: Cloudflare TV
#172at first i was very excited just hearing "cloudflare TV", but it doesn't look like this is what i was expecting. i don't really get the point of this. it's just another live conference broadcasting platform? why would people use this instead of just broadcasting on YouTube? Maybe i'm missing something but feels like just another marketing scheme that came from someone saying "hey this coronavirus is supposed to be th…
What were you expecting?
I was hoping for a live streaming system involving Multicast.
Cloudflare seems like the sort of company that could pull that off. Netflix is another, if they did live video.

#173I don't get it ... it reminds me all too much of Robert Scoble when he moved over to Rackspace of all places to produce content.
Re: Cloudflare TV
#174I'm in a constant perplex by Cloudflare. It's one of those mega corporations that seem to consist of 95% marketing and sales. Looking at the program table I can't help but have this feeling reaffirmed.
> I keep reminding our team that if we're trying to follow in the footsteps of MTV
At this point I'm commenting to be a part of one of the biggest "hey there fellow kids" events in recent tech history — lol.

#175Something similar to this is Game Done Quick[1] which is a week long speed running competition. Because it is always streaming you can turn it on and see what game is being played. I would look at the schedule and make plans. "better tune in Wednesday because they are playing brood war". I might tune in to this "Cloudflare TV". Also when i was watching the best of video on bots there was a error saying "Quota exceede…
Brood War seems like a weird example because it's mainly a multi-player game. Did somebody really run the SC1 Brood War single player campaign at a GDQ? Or were you just picking a random game name as an example? I mostly watch TAS Block myself.
KingDime played Protoss campaign in SC: Remastered in 2019 [1].

#176I'm a generally technical person and I'm simply flat out uninterested in video content - the stuff that will be on this sounds broadly interesting to me but I'd rather read it in article format. I understand video "performs" well in a lot of contexts (and thus is of particular interest to marketing people) but I am always surprised when content targeted broadly towards the technical community is done in a video-first…
I've noticed certain communities that live on the edge of tech-savvy do this a lot. In particular emulator and jailbreak communities for video game consoles refuse to keep up-to-date text guides on things. Everything is done on YouTube which is such a terrible format when you need to follow 30-step lists and pause to click on many links throughout the process to download software, firmware and exploits.
I think it has more to do with how close to the topic you are researching you already are.
I had to fix the motor of my vacuum, for that I preferred a youtube tutorial because I want to see someone do the things I an about to do.
If on the other hand I am trying to do something in Blender I usually prefer a text tutorial to get the exact bit of information I am looking for.
Compare it to conventional teaching. You usually don't throw pupils a book with all the knowledge the could need once they can read and call it a day,but you try to ahow them how things are done.

I had to jailbreak my iPhone in order to not see Youtube ads. That qualifies as some (small) effort.
Can't you use Firefox with uBlock addon on an iPhone?
iOS does not allow "real" alternative web browsers with their own rendering and JavaScript engines, so Firefox on iOS is forced to being little more than rebranded Safari.
