I… really wonder who in the administration is coming up with all these ideas. It’s gotta be someone who has a staff, and that staff must feel like the most useless people in policy since their boss must be coming up with these ideas while cracked out and not running them by anyone…

Inside Games claims a 50% drop in views from July. PC users were 27% of their views then and is now down to 21%, but that alone can’t account for the drastic drop in viewership overall. Video on it here:

There was. Some channels even saw most of their decline from mobile/TV viewers.

That doesn’t necessarily mean that wasn’t also related to the adblocker issue, though. How the algorithm reacted to the dramatic change in views could have made waves that saw channels de-recommended or caused it to ignore sections of a viewer’s watch history and thus the recommendations shown to them as well.

With the algorithm everything gets tied together so much that any disruption can have unpredictable effects.

it would be cool to have some sort of optical displays based on interference (suppose, two lasers at the sides of the screen) or whatever, allowing similarly agile resolution change, and also more energy-efficient than LCDs, and also better for one’s eyes. I think there even are some, just very expensive

I think you’re just describing laser projection TVs ( though the projection is from the front or back, generally). They’re not that expensive — just huge. For their size, they’re much cheaper than LCDs and OLEDs, but they only come in about 100+".

Scanning laser projection is also used in virtual retinal displays, but that’s for stuff like HUDs or a head-mounted display since it projects on (or rather - into) a person’s eye instead of a screen.

Any kind of scanning display will probably have poor latency compared to LCD/OLED flat panels, I think, though.
