Yesterday at least. Same for me initially but now not so much. Time will tell. Current process is to disable the blockers then refresh until the video is served without an add, usually after two or three times, then re-enable.
One conversation I've noticed going on recently re Twitter and social media is the power of owned media, like podcast, email, and blogs, over walled gardens. Blogs, maybe "personal websites", are a home base. Maybe not the whole solution but a foundation.
It used to be common for personal websites to be your home base. You'd have maybe the on topic posts of the blog (e.g. a scientist blogging in their field), the off topic posts (e.g. your hiking trip), and then a fileshare of collegues, friends, or family photos perhaps, and then maybe special interest stuff like the base depth of your favorite ski slope, or the local surf report for the day. Basically, it would be a combination of LinkedIn, facebook, twitter, and instagram, all under a domain you control with a feature set and design dictated by you alone, maybe paying a few dollars a month or a year seeing limited traffic, maybe "free" if you run it on the desktop you already have plugged into the corner of the room.
You're comparing apples to oranges. Raindrop doesn't need to be installed (on desktop, different thing if you want to use their app on mobile). And it lets you categorize your stuff in folders _and_ tags and give each of them a representative icon. I've using this as a complement to the 'Saved' feature of Feedly and frankly despite the web ui being a little clunky it works really great.
All those are simple to set up in Notion. Both run via web app and can include categories, tags and additional information. They certainly target different audiences, but in my experience Notion isn't missing anything Raindrop has, it just adds more functionality. Raindrop works well, no doubt. It just doesn't add much functionality to browser based bookmarking.
Relevant: "Despite their destructive appearances even intense forest fires do not actually consumer much biomass. Only 0.1%–3.2%, since the larger trees and thicker branches that make up most of the biomass in a forest are good at resisting fires"[0]
Totally not thought through, but it seems like it could be good if once a company hits a certain size they have to increase their difficulty level and only grown from the inside, no acquisitions.
