If you found out the person you were dating was a criminal (according to the authorities), would you stick around?

If you are a citizen, they can not deny you entry.

But they can detain you at the border

Compromise offer: you stop spying on us and we'll stop breaking your cameras.

What I want though is memory prices to go back down here.

A price war might lead in that direction.

Nothing a import ban can't fix.

Just because the US bans something, that doesn't stop the rest of the world from buying.

I suspect Chinese company will be quite happy to just flood the market with cheaply priced (relatively speaking) products and just get everyone's money.

And will still be able to make a very healthy profit by doing that.

The quest for "max_profit" is not (and never has been) sustainable.

I'm not sure what would stop them from charging whatever they can

Undercutting the competition to gain market share is a time tested business strategy.

Question: what value do self driving taxis add to regular taxis?

Additional profit for the owners.

Paying drivers cuts into the profits.

Nebula tightly currates which creators they accept onto their platform. Nobody who doesn't already have a long track record of creating and publishing quality videos is going to be accepted.

Which is good for viewers - less slop to wade through. But it's hard for creators to break into.

There is peertube as well, but it lacks monetization

It also lacks an audience at any sort of scale.

I publish on both YouTube and peertube. 3-4000 views on youtube, 10-30 on peertube.

Also published on odysee for a while, with similarly 2 digit views.

You can set up tipping links on youtube on day one as well.

And it has a much bigger pool of potential viewers.

The end result is that channels will just post twice as much slop to get to those hours

Slop doesn't get return viewers, which is counter-productive to reaching a watch hours (or subscribers) threshold.
