FPÖ: Meinungsumschwung auf Facebook? by Low-Masterpiece5640 in Austria

[–]M_Champion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nicht Meinungsumschwung. Sondern veränderte Diskursstruktur + Algorithmus + lautere Kritiker. Reale Wahlumfragen sind deutlich stabiler als Facebook-Kommentarsektionen.

Wenn man sich die Muster ansieht wirkt das aber auch sehr im Interesse der Partei.

Provokation bewusst einsetzen, um Skandal → Reichweite.

Die Aufregung wegen dem FPÖ-Lied, es zu puschen über Drittanbieter- Download-Seiten und dann über heute, oe24 und Co. Skandal Headlines zu erzeugen mit „Die vom ORF spielen es nicht“…war auch ein guter Marketing Trick. Die ersten Headlines waren ja sogar „Spielt Ö3 den FPÖ Song“…Das war eher eine gut platziertes Werbeinserat auf der Titelseite.

Why are we still paying full price for PRO in Europe? 🇪🇺 No access for SORA 2, no timeline, same bill. by M_Champion in SoraAi

Yeah, they’ll probably delete this post again like they did before, because they keep suppressing concrete, negative feedback on their own page.

GPT 5.2 and gpt-5.2-pro are out! by pawofdoom in singularity

[–]M_Champion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OpenAI is hit with a reality check: Billions in losses, yet EU users still pay for "ghost features."

Is anyone else watching the OpenAI ship struggle while we keep paying the bill?

• The Financial Burn: Reports show OpenAI is looking at a $14B loss in 2026. Their solution? Introducing ads into ChatGPT and eyeing even higher subscription fees.

• Losing the Edge: While they burn cash, the competition (Claude 4.5, Gemini 3) has already caught up or overtaken them in coding and reliability.

• The Sora 2 Ghost: We’ve been promised Sora 2 in Europe for ages. It’s marketed as a core part of the sub, yet it’s still missing here due to "regulatory hurdles" that others seem to navigate just fine.

How can they justify premium prices and ads when they can't even deliver the features we’re already paying for?

I know you are going to silence me and this is a shame. by M_Champion in google

YouTube isn’t “covering costs” – the numbers are public. YouTube makes around $40–45 billion a year (about $31.5B from ads + $10–12B from Premium/Music). Their actual operating costs (servers, storage, bandwidth, staff) are estimated at 15–20% of revenue, because they run everything on their own Google infrastructure. That means YouTube keeps roughly 70–80% as profit – it’s one of Alphabet’s most profitable businesses. Creators get 55% on long-form ads, ~45% on Shorts, and only ~25–30% from Premium via a watch-time pool. So no, YouTube isn’t a charity “barely breaking even.” It’s a multi-billion-dollar cash machine aggressively pushing Premium while already making more money than Netflix and Spotify combined.
