Is the private sector currently doing that?

Anything that launched multiplat was always the same price across platforms. But some cases of old titles getting ported to Switch meant they were full price on Switch but cheaper on platforms they've been out for a long time on.
I'm certainly not saying criticism shouldn't be allowed when it's relevant. When there's news about something bad, by all means discuss it in the relevant thread.
The problem I have is when it's everywhere, at any mention of anything related to Nintendo. Even in a thread like this, for example, we gotta have a whole bunch of drive-by "Hey did you know Nintendo bad? Just thought I'd remind everyone!" comments. It's tiring.
The circlejerk has gotten incredibly tiring, especially here. Literally any mention of Nintendo in any context whatsoever has to bring a dozen people out of the woodwork to remind everyone that Nintendo is the most evil thing on the planet ever. You'd think !nintendo@lemmy.world would be a space with at least a little less negativity, but no, even here it never fucking ends. Even worse though is the amount of misinformation that gets spread in the process, people will twist anything they can to invent new things to be mad at.
There are certainly some things Nintendo does that I dislike. But I also look at the rest of the industry and I don't think they're anywhere near the worst right now. They treat their workers well, they don't push gambling-based business models on kids, they keep projects reasonably scoped instead of trying to make every single game into the next Fortnite and then shut it down when it doesn't meet that bar, their games actually feel complete at launch, and they don't fund genocide.
And they make a lot of good games that I like.
It will not yield the 495k views this video got. A lot of people are learning about the movement through seeing a popular channel show up in their Youtube recommendations. This is how outreach works, do it on platforms where you will reach the most people. Don't just put it on a website where only people who already know about the movement and are invested enough to actively check it will see it.
I looked over the transcript, looks accurate enough. Did you actually find any problems with it?
No one's time is being wasted. He has 413k subscribers on Youtube because 413k people want to hear what he has to say. You might not, but that's you - maybe take a step back and realize the rest lf the world does not share your weird grudge against people speaking out loud?
It's the same content as the video. Was that not what you were asking for? What do you want?
Well if everything else that's been said wasn't good enough for you, let me point out another angle. He's giving an impassioned speech. It is a much more expressive format to convey emotion, which is important when trying to rally a call to action.
I don't think speeches are a sign of something wrong with society. People have always given speeches. Doing that in the format of speaking vocally is hardly a new concept.
While text posts on Youtube are technically a thing that exists, you can't expect a significant portion of users on the platform to pay attention to those. People go to Youtube to watch videos. That's what the platform is for, that's what the audience is there for.
You didn't actually answer my question.
Whining that you don't like video and therefore no one else should use the format is just not productive. Do you want SKG to reach the audience it needs in order to succeed, or do you just want to be mad that other people like to watch videos?
The only way that would help is if they ONLY used crypto and nothing else, because the payment processors for currencies people actually use will continue threaten them as long as NSFW content is anywhere on the platform.
