@leanderlindahl I agree. However, I also read something similar about the "funk" format (a special program designated to people "between 14 and 29" by the public, German broadcaster ARD and ZDF) in their website's FAQs:
About the question why funk also publishes on YouTube (without ads), it claims it must also publish where the target audience is.
Is this parallel correct? :ablobcatsweatsiphard:
@raisondetredev @leanderlindahl
Is it still only that? Or do they produce masses of content solely for YouTube nowadays? I'm not 100% sure but haven't seen these things on TV a lot. Maybe a single promo clip embedded in some other show, and sometimes Sebastian Lege, but that's it?! But, yeah, I'm not sure...
(I'm talking about ARD/ZDF in general, I don't know much about Funk in particular)
@pino @leanderlindahl I doubt FUNK is intended for TV, but rather the media libraries ("ARD und ZDF Mediatheken") and third-party platforms, e.g. YouTube, Instagram, TikTok.
@raisondetredev @leanderlindahl Ah, yes, indeed, that makes sense! I forgot about the Mediathek for a moment (although I do use it regularly ^^). :)
@pino
And @funk recently started using the Fediverse as well...
@raisondetredev @leanderlindahl
@pink @funk @raisondetredev @leanderlindahl ... of course not without *again* advertising some US companies right in their profile text. It's soo ubiquitous that nobody even realizes anymore how wrong and bad that is. I would expect from them to be not at all present in those commercial walled gardens. I know, for 99% it feels like an insane idea nowadays. The fact that they are *today* *also* here is not making things much better imho.
