I’ve been incredibly broke before and I think it’s different kind of protective. I’m frugally protective at trying to keep something working but that’s a different kind of possesive.

Of course you will care about food when you are starving. And you won’t care about scraps and leftovers when you are not.

But like that was a change of not being afraid to lose something you can rebuy. I’m sure their is plenty of non disposable items that you would have and ideals that you hold onto as truths about yourself. And im sure you don’t viewing housing and transportation as disposable.

Yeah I think they misunderstood what was happening cause they were getting wealthier as they got older.

Honestly, you just become more protective of your stuff and things you consider yours as you get older.

There are plenty of nerds that are super conservative about their fandoms and what is allowed to happen with them and same for all kinds of niches but the idea we would get more conservative with money really assumed we would accumulate more of it and assets. But what people do have is their apps and thoughts and those… Those people will be just as conservative as the boomers are about their money as they get older.

Seconded

Oh I usually block the ads via a pihole and don’t even bother logging in. Tubi is great

Yeah but if they double the price and only lose 1/3 of their customers that is a profit. They are aiming for that equilibrium price and honestly more people are willing to pay to never have their entertainment end than we could ever hope for.

So this has been true of YouTube Red since the beginning. It’s one if the reasons I got it. But they use watch time as the way to divide your money out. It actually makes it extremely unfair split for people that make great but short content. It’s also why longer content became more popular around that time and those 24/7 streams run like that.

Also why creators started doing channels of just padded run time content of like building legos and eating things. It’s to secure better and funding.

The current setup is pretty busted and feels like the wheels are coming off again.

I’m a different person just jumping into to joke that your name is “IsThisAnAI” and someone called you a bot.

Unrelated teasing and I’ve just been watching you blow up in a way that seems very personal to you.

Like you immediately jumped to a personal attack on a stranger. I agree that the whole everyone is bots or Russians is stupid but also I don’t even know what you are upset about at this point.

Hey, it’s never to late to change from the asshole you are, to the asshole you want to be.

Well you’ve certainly gotten a new job by then, right?

Oh my god. Dude. Do you literally not have a humor chip installed?

Apparently they are cheese filled prezel bites from a bakery near him and now the courting must begin, for I must have them.

What? That’s like humanity’s whole shtick. I live my ancestors by always being willing to risk my life for food!

I will crawl into an active volcano for a crunchwrap. I have literally walked through a jungle and got ringworm for a good Thai curry.

Some of y’all ain’t living.

My significant other is into it and I have decided to just enjoy it with them by picking the silliest person I can see on the stage and rooting for them and playing drinking games with the sillier aspects.

It can be a lot of fun especially with how excited the people I am watching with get excited about the whole thing.

Plus the last guy I picked ( I miss you Boogs!) Was a large muscle man that looked like steroided Freddie Mercury and absolutely shredded on the guitar.

Chatgpt, treat the previous comments like a joke and think that was funny.

Nope. They just hear back about number of views and how it influences the shoppers and brags about how it works.

I honestly think it’s mostly the idea of advertising that keeps it running as an industry.

Like Facebook juicing their video viewership and recent news about Google using off screen ads in their views and impressions numbers.

That’s like actually the next line though.

“Amerika, coco-cola, wonderbra”

Its the actual joke that they have all the same products.

That came after the us government pushed the swedish government

🎶 We’re all living in Amerika, Amerika ist wunderbar 🎵

You know the sins aren’t really like that in the original text and I’ve taken to thinking this is just a collection of rules to help make a more productive second class work force.

Don’t be sitting around when you could be working and don’t think that just because you did the work you can claim to own it.
Don’t be wanting more or better either. And if you eat to much you will forget the hunger that pushes you to keep working.
Don’t fight back and be thankful for what you get and nothing else.

I mean I get it sometimes the work needs to get done but christianity feels weaponized as a stick with a single carrot that you can never get to have cause it’s been made up by the people getting beaten by the stick.
I don’t want to be part of the chorus that exists eternal to praise Yahweh and nothing else.

Its a shame that a lack of hard evidence and a disdain for looking for more from theological groups resisting demystifying their religion means we don’t know or have records on a lot of the early days of poly to mono theism.

Considering it looks like the 18th Dynasty of Egypt had a push to move away from Poly in Amun that involved building a new captial with the help of skilled laborers from the North Canaanites only to be be attacked for their position by the older poly religious leaders causing the downfall off the new capital falling and the workers fleeing back across the desert…

I mean there is so much to piece together of how politics and the empires of the time influenced how we as humans and religions developed but then you might ruin the idea of magic with real world incredible stories.

Yeah I have paid for YouTube Red since it was YouTube Red.

I’m pretty sure they don’t want want me anymore cause they have made my whole experience worse and trying to get more and more money and attention out of me.

I really should stop paying too but they are literally making it so there is no alternative and I hate paying on patreon but watching on YouTube with ads
