    This Icelandic guy has a YouTube channel with great 4K drone footage of the area (and the rest of Iceland).

    He is (obviously) doing a lot of coverage in this area currently and has some snippets of info from Icelandic Volcanologists that may not be available elsewhere.

          This just in: using libre software in place of proprietary shit is piracy!

          Not that piracy is bad, anyways. Poor, poor small startup Google.

            It’s taking content people have made and posted on a monetised site and serving it for free. Yes it’s piracy.

            People here just hate Google so much they don’t care. It’s the content creators that will suffer.

              Be real: do content creators even earn that much from ad revenue? Or is most of their income from sponsors or fan support on platforms like patreon?

              From what little they earn from ad revenue, a miniscule amount of that is lost from people using adblockers, too.

                you mean the sponsor spots that can (partially) rely on the view count to be offered?

                The bot doesn’t care what the channel is when it posts its links, it doesn’t check for monetisation, sponsor spots or Patreon, it just posts the link.

                  Any small channel earns basically nothing from ad revenue.

                  Any big channel won’t feel a dent from a handful viewers not viewing ads.

                  There’s no harm either way. And, for the end user, I think the privacy and freedom benefits outweigh any benefits of using Google software.
