  • thanks for your detailed answer :) So it’s really just another “Solution in search of a problem” kind of deal, since the whole concept “decentralises” a conecpt that is already decentralised (BitTorrent) but with a little Cryptocurrency because of course it has Crypto.

    Now I just need to find out what Piped does with it, since all it’s content is supposed to be on YouTube, right? So searching for content can’t be it’s purpose… I think.












  • Yes, people here are absolutely fine with that. You probably come from a very different world culture-wise. First of all, second jobs are not the norm here. It’s rather rare, actually and most second jobs are hobbies you take money for, like photography or the like. Your employer will almost certainly not even bother to ask any further.

    Secondly: your employer cannot object just because they don’t like your face. There are set criteria. They will object if your second job would conflict directly with your first job, that’d be if you work at a competitor, would have work hours in your second job that conflict with those of your first job or would work too much all together. That’s it.





  • Just wanted to add that part of this may be a culture thing. Here in Germany, you are required to get your employers permission to get a second job or the like. Many of you might instinctively find this corporate BS, but in reality it’s mainly worker’s protection. No employee is allowed to work over 60 (I think) hours in a week. To make the companies stick to that, the government will come for them if any worker exceeds this number. Your employer has the responsibility to not let you exceed that, even across multiple jobs. That’s why you have to get permission for side hustles. There are other (not so pro worker) reasons for this, but that would go too far. Suffice to say that Lütke is German and this might be some thing he brought from Germany.
