The main issue with YouTube premium is the price, I can’t imagine that they’re making anywhere near $14 a month from showing me ads that I never click on. I’d love to see a breakdown, including how much is subsiding free users, how much is going to creators, and how much is going into the pockets of shareholders.
I think like most if not all of the people I know would easily pay $5 dollars for premium
I also think making shit like this activity discredits the thing they’re trying to draw attention to.
“Cats hate water, please view this example.”
Pure virgin aluminium vs chad alloyed iron
Uh, I hate to break it to you, but literally all the iron in the human body is either part of a protein or bound to other molecules. It’s not an alloy per se, but it isn’t exactly pure iron
The original 20 minute video in the article makes it clear he’s talking about job roles, and mentions writers a few times (admittedly not close enough to draw an 100% certain link). I don’t think it’s enough to discredit this just based on the assumption that he’s talking about actors or that there isn’t enough context. Obviously it’s vague enough that we can’t draw any solid conclusions, so I agree with you there.
The main reason I think this is bullshit is that the guy’s testimony isn’t credible for two main reasons:
These two points, regardless of how true his story is, give him an ulterior motive for embellishing the story and exaggerating facts, which ultimately means we can’t trust this.
I’d like to see a full investigation, as with any accusation of discrimination. But we all know that when nothing turns up, it wouldn’t shut the right wingers up
You literally used the example of a doctor to disagree with someone saying it’s clinical, I just thought it was funny so made a joke.
And why so serious? Reply to the other person who was actually making a serious point if you want that
I also couldn’t think of a more clinical setting than a doctor’s clinic
What is the article about my dude?
Fair, I can respect that extremely specific subset of people that don’t match the wider trend
The post is literally about people who modify their exhausts to be louder. Are you suggesting people modify their exhausts then drive to a remote location to listen to it on their own?
It was a genuine question dude
Also, what exactly are you defending? The right to have illegal exhausts? Or just liking the sound not making you psychotic?
That’s fair, you can totally criticise the lack of nuance in the post title. You can like the sound of an exhaust, I don’t care.
But you must at least kinda see that it affects people around you too? If you don’t you’re kinda proving the post title right
Things can have unintended consequences, part of being an adult human being is understanding that.
Driving a loud car at night can easily wake people up. And if you’re going fast and loud through a neighbourhood, then it’s a whole neighborhood you’re waking
Like whatever you want, just not to the point where your illegal exhaust wakes up an entire neighborhood. How on earth are you even defending being deliberately loud and obnoxious?
It takes a lot of energy to send them back in time
Same, but I also see a trope of men often being dumb or evil or both in a lot of current media. And that really doesn’t help create role models
I think a lot of it is that we’re in a group of people who are almost entirely left of the dems. Republican ideas are (rightfully) downvoted into oblivion and never seen. That leaves the only arguments being seen as within the left.
It’s made worse by those on the left actually thinking and not just towing the party line, which leads to more fractures and disagreement. It’s not a bad thing that people disagree with “progressives”, it’s a sign that the left in general isn’t a pseudo-religious hivemind.
What do you want a group of leftists to talk about? Homophobia bad? Trans rights good? Billionaires bad? Public healthcare good?
Sorry man, but that’s a relatively milk toast YouTube video with 81k views. Definitely very right leaning, but outright fascist is a bit much. She clearly has no media literacy or is deliberately misleading people.
Her latest video got only 11k views, and most of her titles look like some right wing grifter shit like “Ben Shapiro SILENCES Candace Owens, CANCELS Debate?”.
And I’m sure that right wing grifters will use this for content, that’s what they do.
I wouldn’t say that shows anything more than a loud minority. Honestly 81k views is lower than I expected and more proves my point
You’re literally here talking about them talking about her.
