You make a good distinction. In my opinion this question can be answered in two ways:

• A movie that holds up being just as good on a rewatch.

• Movies where you either pick up on clues/details on further rewatches once you know the full movie. Or that are just so dense/layered that you just can’t catch everyrhing the first time you watch it

Doesn’t matter how often you see scenes like ride of the rohirrim, they remain just as epic as they were the first time.

Another issue with YouTube is that media, especially video is vastly more resource demanding than anything mostly text based.

With something like Twitter or Reddit (as long as you don’t directly host all media) the quality and importance of each post relative to it’s resources needed don’t really matter that much.

Especially with high bitrate video footage on the other hand it does matter. So having a drive for profit somewhere in the chain does in someway help shape the system to be viable financially.

Is there any actual benefit for so much RAM in a phone? Outside of a higher number for marketing and increasing the price? And does this also increase power consumption or is there any benefit to more RAM that counteracts that?

Personally i am still waiting for phones to become proper desktop replacements, in which case i’d maybe see more use in this. They already have more than enough performance for the average user, since 9/10 people probably just browse the web and do some general office work.

I really feel like that instead of just focusing on running a lean and efficient site, perfecting the fundamentals, and outsourcing the other stuff to their users (third party apps, content creation, the bulk of moderation). They’ve truly become bloated trying to expand.

I guess this was ultimatively due to them taking on venture capital and thus having the pressure for rapid growth and profitability. They really want to transform themself into a social media site, gathering as much user data as possible and keeping them on their site as long as possible. All with the goal to be able to sell more adds. Which also means pushing out unmarketable content.

Add to that requirements for longer software support. At least for security patches.

Longest i’ve ever gotten out of a pair was around 1600km on a pair of triumph 18. Admittedly those were used a bit too long, although having a rotation helped. At the end i just used them for occasional shorter slow runs.

On average l try to get at least 1000km+ out of each pair.

But ghosts are definitely known for good durability
