  1. How to make a billion dollars: 50 Shades of Grey, the mobile game with microtransactions.

  2. I got a lot of negative response on facebook when I said I was a republican who supported abortion, because if my enemies want to voluntarily kill themselves/perform natural selection and not have a next generation, while right-leaning/traditional families typically have many children and will become a larger majority as a result, why would I oppose that? Every act of their own self-attrition weakens them and strengthens us.

  3. When I think about Chick-Fil-A, I think "HOLY SHIT that's a HUGE line! There's 50 cars in 3 drive through lanes! And it's not even a rush time!" They're ALWAYS packed, and I always get my food quickly.

  4. 'STRAIGHT hate'?!?!? How DARE you lol. We're G4, look at how diverse we are, there are absolutely no icky straight or cis people HERE, bigots!

  5. ACTUAL local laws DO matter. Here in Missouri, I can already hear blue checkmarks triggered when they learn you can buy and possess a handgun at 19, concealed, with zero permit or license. It's illegal under federal law to buy a handgun under 21 FROM A DEALER, but STATES regulate person to person sales, and in our great state, 19 is perfectly legal to private sale a handgun. Rifles and shotguns are a free for all at 18. Commence the REEeEeE

  6. What a horrible bullying experience, a well-paying no-show job and a free apartment. Bully me, please.

  7. The irony is that were they real PC Gamers, they would be giving gamers advice on how to block and prevent ads on their PC to enhance their gaming performance and experience. Such as buying a Raspberry Pi Zero W, mating it with a USB-A power supply board, loading Pi-Hole Adblock DNS redirect system software on it, and plugging it into the empty USB slot on your wifi router. Bang, ads done FOR REAL. It acts as a man-in-the-middle DNS server for your internet connection, and any DNS queries your network attempts to make to known ad providers, it goaltends them into oblivion. It works quite well, and this is not an ad but I strongly recommend it.

  8. You might think that, but that has no bearing on actual reality. Even major actors go uncredited rather often.

  9. The people featured in these tik toks were the most powerful pro-abortion argument I've ever heard, I've been converted, I now wholeheartedly support those people's right to not continue genetically.

  10.  @Sylphord  the advertising outrage is that they banned her and they missed an entire week of massive revenue during the PR storm.

  11. For a long time I've compared Twitter to plutonium, a dangerous substance that even when handled safely is still causing measurable harmful exposure to damaging radiation, and that there is a permissible exposure limit to twitter, about 20-30 minutes for me, after which I have to evacuate it for a few weeks or it'll horrifically kill me... Tik-Tok is like being near the plutonium bomb being tested in an illegal atmospheric test in a populated area. There is no safe exposure limit. It's like backpacking to Chernobyl and spending the night sleeping next to the Elephant's Foot.

  12.  @BrandonGavin_EDC  like his interview with Idubbbz lol...

  13. People have LONG confused demonetized with non-monetized. Demonitized means you just don't get a cut of the ads tha will run on your video regardless. If there were NO ads, it's would be NON-monetized. I'm not in the partner program, I have monetization turned OFF, I do not and never have had a AdSense account. My channel videos have had ads for YEARS already. This is nothing new. Even demonitized videos run ads, youtube keeps and always has kept all the money. It's been that way at least 6-8 years for me, catch up.

  14. If you're black, are you Latino? If you're Cuban, are you black? If you're Latino, are you Cuban or Black? Now, I'm just a white male of European ancestry, but I've known people from all those groups and there wasn't a ton of crossover there. The Cubans I know didn't consider themselves Latino, in fact they were white. Pick a damn check box and stick with it lol.

  15. LOL, imaging this: if you had to pay for your video hosting here. I'd love to see that. Video goes viral, you're now bankrupt. Millions of views, thousands of hours of HD serving, millions owed. That was the original revenue a channel owner got from original youtube, you got hosted for free. If 'creators' had to pay for their hosting today, the top 100 channels would be gone in months.

  16. The irony is waiting until the 4th date to dump her because she tried to make a move on the 3rd date and that's a bit ho-ish, I'm out lol.

  20. Here in Missouri, like a decade ago the biggest hospital system in the state mandated that all employees are banned from smoking, on or off work. It was lauded and celebrated, never challenged, no opposition. Totally normal, unfortunately.

  21. At the very least sue them for the porn they do have being unsatisfying and with unattractive actors, sheesh.

  22. I hope no one is paying for their garbage tier content, you can get way better free stuff

  24.  @wesleywarsmith1113  I always just have to laugh at her 'gamer name'. THAT is female privilege in action, because any man who tried a name like that would forever be called "foreskin" and laughed at lololol. Froskurinn, geez.

  25. take the clown pill. For when you've become so black pilled the destruction of our species is no longer depressing, it's just become hilariously amusing as you watch it implode, the clown pill. Don't ask your doctor, laugh at him. The clown pill.

  27. They have. When they bought Fox, they were forced by the US Justice Dept to sell off all the regional sports networks like Fox Sports and such because they already own ESPN and that would be too much market share. So, they sold those networks to Sinclair, the largest owner of all the local TV stations in the US, for over $6 billion.

  29. I run a water plant. I'm under a self-isolation request, I'm not to go in any public building or interact with the public for any reason while working. There are literally only 3 people anywhere qualified to run our plant, and we've all been deemed 'irreplacable'. Time off, canceled. I'm working overtime. Water demand is actually up as everyone stays indoors and washes everything in a panicked fashion.

  30. What, and Koreans that don't speak Korean aren't Korean lol? I can learn Korean, I like makgeolli and Bulgogi, guess I can become Korean also.

  31. And of course NO ONE has EVER just clicked yes on that even though they're like 12. Nope, that's impossible, children on the Internet in the 2020s have far too much integrity to do that...

  32. If you can prove a viewer is a minor they should be banned themselves from twitch anyway. 18+ should be standard, no non-adults should be spending $ online to sit and watch anyone. If that costs content creators trillions of dollars, GOOD. We need to demonetize the entire Internet before we can even start fixing anything. Money has destroyed online living.

  33. Man, I wish I could get bullied with a well paying no-show job and a free apartment. #2019 geez.

  34. I survived covid and all I got was this superior infection immunity so stop badgering me to get a less effective vaccine, you fake-immuner. I think 'survivors' should have been the first allowed to go unmasked.

  35. Demonitized never meant NON-monetized. It just meant the 'creator' had done some violation, and the response is they lose their SHARE of the ads they'd have on their video regardless. Only solution is to demonitize everything. Go back to original youtube, where 'creators' were paid by not getting an enormous video hosting bill every month for their stuff to be up.

  36. Her rant screamed to me a laundry list of her own insecurities listed as other's problems. That very specific line about guys jerking off to other hosts REALLY made it sound like she was jealous that's attention she wasn't getting. Other hosts were 'better on the eyes', sounded like she's pissed off she's being outcompeted by women that aren't even there lol.

  37. Of course they're anti-Asian. What's the largest country in Asia???? RUSSIA, so all their anti- Russian rhetoric is bigoted anti-Asian Hate speech.

  38. The worst affected (traumatized/terrorized) are the kids we've put through this insanity. To them, a year of these terrorists scaring them is a large portion of their life. For a 10 year old, literally 10% of their life has been being put through this, forced to undergo this abuse. I had just become an adult, 18, a senior in high school, when 9/11 and the entire universe of life-defining/culture-shattering changes that came with it happened, and it changed everything we know. I've now, at 38, lived longer in a post-9/11 world than a world before that seismic shift, and I can hardly remember that pre-9/11 world. It's 1984-ish, we've been told it for so long we just know we've always been at war with Oceania, I mean Eastasia, I mean Eurasia.

  40. That was what I thought too, how her name is the peak of female privilege, because of A guy used that name, 10 seconds online or with the guys, he'd forever be known as foreskin and laughed at.

  42. "Today we're playing the all-new BLM board game! Roll the die, a 7, move 7 spaces toward the police line, draw a card...OH NO it's the CS Gas card, 30atk and you're disabled one turn to recover. Next player, rolls a 14, moves to the bonus space...what do we have??? Draws molotov cocktail card, uses it, 3 police officers killed and one $350k Bearcat destroyed, advance 5 extra spaces...."

  43. I've had my channel since 2007, and I have no clue how to even look at that metric. I didn't even know watch hours was a thing. Edit: ok, they didn't even have watch time until 2012, so minus those first FIVE YEARS I currently have 8,600 watch hours on my channel, but only 294 subs. All I'd really care about it getting to 1000 subs for the sole reason I could then livestream from a mobile device.

  44. Disclaimer: not actual advice. If someone really wanted to pull off some 'event' they actually made it the perfect environment...shooter dresses up as a cop and just walks right in, lost in the crowd of security, completely invisible until they act. Any other time at any theater I've been to, more than one or two police officers would stand out as suspicious. With this environment, what's another one?

  46. Sometimes, I think I'd like to see 'creators' get charged what it costs Youtube to host their video. I think that would be hilarious to some of these pompous channels. "Oh look my 10 min video went viral and got 50 million views!...what's this? A bill for 8 million hours of HD video bandwidth hosting?! $250,000 bandwidth bill?!?!? For one video...I make these everyday! Quick, stop subscribing, stop watching, don't share!"

  48. Very true, just be entertaining is all I ask. I've seen some BAD movies this year (Morbius) that were still entertaining. Nope was just 'okay'. The visuals and cinematography were gorgeous, the landscape shots, nice.

  50. Good. De-mon the entire platform. It was never meant to be about the money or a way to make money. Youtube already paid everyone, by hosting your video for free. Any big channel today would be paying far more for bandwidth than they'd ever make off the most aggressive video ads. You have a 10 minute video get a few million views, that's hundreds of thousands of hours of bandwidth, you're talking 6-figure costs PER VIDEO very quickly at commercial rates.

  51. Sigh, now men can't even get angry or we'll be called beta. One day men will be in charge and we can change some things lol

  52. $8/month for verification makes more sense than verification being worth billions of dollars, seeing as you cannot buy it and it's only granted to insiders at the moment. You either allow everyone to get verified, or you remove it entirely.

  53. In fairness, if I had to choose between exposing my theoretical children to A)online porn, or B) energy drinks...I'd chose A any day. No one is dying from porn, people are dying from energy drinks, especially in the clot shot, your heart just stops working because reasons don't talk about it Era.

  54. We all know the best way to build good karma is to gleefully revel in the misfortune of others and call it their karma

  55. Imagine if youtube charged you for your cost of hosting your video. "Ok, monthly statement, ad revenue, $1000, nice....wait, 50,000 hours of HD video bandwidth, $10,000! That viral video ruined us! I just think we need to go back to old-school youtube, where no one got paid, or expected to, so no one did BS videos by the billions of for money, chasing the algo. Commercializing youtube was the death of it, about 10 years ago.

  56. Demonetize the Internet, problem solved. Do it out of love for what you're doing, not to get rich. If she was getting banged on screen with zero chance of monetary rewards she wouldn't be doing it

  57. He's suing the Osundario Bros?! That's hilarious. Were I them, I'd tell him to sashay his ass over to Nigeria and collect. You want to become the actual victim of a violent crime, go to a sub-Saharan African 3rd world country lol.

  58. Lol, tell us you've never been a public employee without saying it. Every penny you spend takes away from your budget and hurts you. If the police did no search I'd believe you. If they skipped out on the effort and used their budget room to give them raises, ok. But a search like this can tank your budget for years, in a time where revenue is down, costs like gas are insane, wages are crazy. My local sheriff couldn't even afford to do a search if someone was missing, they have deputies working off the clock just to afford to have anyone on duty 24/7. There's no profit motive in public service.

  59.  @KittSpiken  you forget that the feds have zero to do with the local depts like this because the feds have infinite money, as they run the $ supply. My local dept can't even afford to pay our police McDonald's wages. We just raised police pay to $14/hr and that was a hard fought vote. Budgets are cut all over the US because tax revenue is down. A search like this can bankrupt a dept for years.

  66. As far as I know that's happening all the time, better ban all men out of safety.

  67. There is such an alternative. It's called "stop doing this for money". Problem solved. Go back to old youtube, where people would make a dozen videos a day, zero censorship, no ads, no revenue or BS and none expected. The 'payment' was YOU getting a 'TUBE' where you could upload and host your video FOR FREE. That was revolutionary. I joined youtube in 2007, check my channel date. Trying to monetize ANYTHING online kills it, without fail. Value for value is the only way to go, look into it.

  68. If words on twitter are killing people somehow, why wasn't the platform eliminated a decade ago?
    1
  69. Next TOS change: we've eliminated all ads, BUT 'creators' will be charged for their hosting bandwidth. I would like to see some channels get a nice high-six-figure hosting bill each month lol. People are astonishing spoiled by 'free' hosting. The bigger and more popular you are, the more you COST. Going viral could bankrupt you.
    1
  70. They are paying creators, by not sending out bandwidth bills every month. You have a 10 minute video get 1 million views, that's 170,000 HOURS of hd video service bandwidth, some channels would get monthly bills for hundred of thousands to millions of dollars just to have their video available. You kids have been so spoiled by this. Back in ancient times of 2007 when i joined youtube, it was seen as a hell of a deal because no one except corporations could afford to upload and host/serve videos, but youtube offered it for free.
    1
  71. Or do it regardless. No one deserves to get paid to waste my time with ads, in fact F them for feeling that entitled. Ads in any media, Im out.

  72. What's funny is my theater was almost full last Friday, and I don't think I saw any non-whites.

  73. The pink tax is on men. It's called divorce. So maybe women's products should cost more, women have more money and get far more money. I just saw a video where women were celebrating they control 75% of all household spending... meaning women spend 3x more than ALL men...
    1
  74. ​ @SquidProQuo1 lol, as a man I've used womens razors for not-my-face because there is no mens products with all the huge moisturizer puck around the blade. I had to look forever to find ONE company that makes hair removal cream JUST FOR men. 1000 versions for women. Men pay the blue tax on those special products. Hey look we're all fuckin equal victims so let's all f off the bitching

  75. ​ @retrocomputing the problem is the pink tax is no real, so stop bitching uselessly about imaginary things. Do women pay less than men for condoms? No.

  76. ​ @Undomaranel all that typing to say WOMEN JUSR STOP BUYING SHIT. EASY.

  77. ​ @Undomaranel all those things stop existing if you stop being greedy. The casting couch would get zero action if no women were so desperate to be famous and liked by strangers. You'd blow a guy to be on screen, why? To look good to get other guys to service? Interesting. You feel oppressed you could not have those things, everyone else is looking at you wondering why you'd want them? I'm a man and I want none of what you seem to demand, and I could have them all with my 'privilege'. But why? Working towards something you don't want is idiocy.

  78. Wait, so she was banging a chick? This was a male streamer doing this, as evidenced by there being a guy there on stream banging her lol. Did you miss that? I guess if he's not famous it doesn't count as being a streamer on stream?

  79. Well yeah, every red-blooded American male wants a 10ft tall hot European chick to do dominatrix stuff with. You've tapped into a massive underrepresented demo.

  80. Reality doesn't mean anything, perception is what matters. The blue check could have started as a way to show who is an extermination target by the government, once it became the hot thing it wouldn't matter. Free speech is another example, remember when it used to not be perceived as bigoted Naziism? Like 10 years ago lol.

  83. I called myself a Covid survivor mostly as a joke, a meme, a form of victim status so lefties have to respect me in their fake intersectional system...but now people have started taking that 'status' seriously and getting tattoos? After the Ok hand signal white power idiocy, the gullibility of people should stop surprising me at some point.

  84. As the man who invented the podcast, Adam Curry, states over and over again, "YOU CAN'T MONETIZE THE INTERNET". It always fails, as we see time and time again with Youtube. The problem is relying on advertising for revenue. You can have the best content but unless you get an ad master to buy you as a content slave and keep you on their plantation, you're broke. If you get revenue under the value for value model, and have zero ads, you can make MORE, AND maintain your freedom of expression.

  87. I've heard they're working on an antibodies test that will show if someone has had the virus in the past, and when that is available I bet things really do change. It's one thing for half a million people to have it and tens of thousands die, but quite another thing if we find out the deaths stay the same but turns out tens of millions of people already had it and got ill and recovered or didn't even realize it. That's a big problem, because that outcome would mean this whole lockdown fiasco was for nothing, we caused the worst economic disaster in human history BY MISTAKE. It's actually quite akin to an allergy. When presented with what in reality is not a major threat, the body overreacts so severely it nearly kills itself, for no good reason.

  88.  Chaos Undivided  Same here. I was seriously sick from Dec 23rd all the way through new years, and had this rattly, phlemy cough that sounded terrible through about valentines day. Bad fever, all-over body aches made worse by shivering, unstoppable runny nose, horrific sore throat, terrible cough and coughing, very swollen neck lymph nodes, but no nausea, no digestive issues, no vomiting. I thought it was strep at first and took some antibiotics I had on hand, which overnight almost eliminated the sore throat, but the rest of the symptoms ran their course.

  89. If I hadn't seen that trailer before and knew it was real, no way I'd believe it's not satire. It's too absurd. But it's not satire, it's reality that's gone so insane it can't be parodied.

  90. I remember feeling that same way the very first time I watched a reaction video on YouTube. Like, who cares what this person thinks? Turns out hundreds of millions of people do because now YouTube is literally 75% reaction videos, and like 23% video game let's plays, and people make astounding cash. Look at PewDiePie

  92. Says Will Wheaton as he himself goes through his midlife crisis lamenting how HE is NOT affecting anyone's life or safety, and that fact upsets him. He's not alone, a lot of people can relate...they just don't have a giant following to whinge to online, they have A, one, close friend if that. "Quiet desperation", Thoreau, all that.

  93. Has Jeremy stopped to consider that MANY of us ACTIVELY refuse to ever use things such as like buttons or engage, becaue we want to starve the algorithms of our data? Also, I personally want all videos demonitized, if you remove the power your slave owner has over you, you cannot be censored. Bring back pre-google YouTube, where there were no ads or people making millions. Also, when did online privacy become something we on the right oppose? We've been asking for exactly what Twitter is doing for a decade, to stop the left from doxxing US and the platform saying there's nothing they can do because it's free speech.

  94. Unrelated thought, but the fact we've reached a point a youtube channel has five employees sickens me. Google turned an individuals driven platform into a corporate profit driven monstrosity. Demonitize the entire site.

  95. True, BUT not when it comes to legally protected classes or the lack thereof. I could not fire an employee because they're a raging communist, but being left handed and a left handed supremacist myself, I could fire them right now for being right handed. Unfortunately handedness is not yet a protected class in the US. As such an oppressed minority, if I want to operate my business where I only hire the left handed, that's fine. Just like entire massive hospital systems today and for over a decade do not hire tobacco users. To work in hospital here in the Midwest, for example, you cannot smoke on or off work. Smoking is not a protected class. The real, easy fix here is to classify vaccination status as a protected class you can't discriminate against, or to classify vaccination status as a disability this making it an ADA violation to base a decision on. When I went to university of Missouri, they actually did list being left handed as an actual disability, and had I wanted I could have gotten certified through the disability services office as 'disabled' and gotten the use of an ADA approved left handed desk or table in any classroom I went to, BY LAW. I never did as I didn't need to, but that policy was in place.

  97. Not to defend the t Juan thousand, but the whole purpose of the t-1000 and on were to be infiltration bots. BY DESIGN they were meant to blend in and not stand out. Perfect example is the liquid metal model from the Sarah Connor Chronicles, it was like half a season of her as a main character before it was revealed she/it was a bot, it was a very-near-perfect human copy. Like more human than Zuckerberg good. It makes their mission easier.

  98. Went to Rotten Tomatoes and it doesn't matter if I saw the movie or not, they ONLY way you can 'verify' you saw the movie is if you buy through Fandango, and fuck that. It's a cash play plain and simple, they're holding the entire audience comment system hostage for profit now.

  100. A 90 minute drive for a single mother? There's millions of them within walking distance, and none of them are worth your time (or the guys that left them) anyway.

  101. Lots of companies pay you more if you go to the company gym and exercise more than a certain amount. The cost of reduced insurance premiums more than pays for the increase in labor cost. All hospital systems here in the Midwest ban smoking entirely, at or away from work. I used to work for a very large, very famous refrigeration manufacturing co here in the Midwest that REALLY discouraged smoking, to the point that if you smoked and quit, they'd pay you to go to therapy, pay for all your quit help like patches and gum, and pay you a large bonus for staying nicotine free. If you didn't smoke anyway, you got nothing special, no anything.

  102. 50% of men would hookup with her for $50 no dates required.

  103. No video has ever been NON-monetized. Ads have always ran regardless. Demonitized just means you f-ed up and forfeited your share of the ads that go on your video regardless. Just take solace in the fact that the bandwidth costs more than any content creator is getting paid. You have a viral video, say it gets 50 million views and is 10 min, that's over 8 million hours of HD video hosting, that would cost you mid-six-figures in the commercial hosting market. Youtube PAYS you that for free by allowing your tiktok crosspost to play. I have zero empathy for people stealing my time with ads for their profit, including 'creators'.

  104. I'd counter that the vast majority of hookups lead to relationships. I've known most of my friends this happens to. Me and so and so finally did it, they'll say. Congrats, man! 6 months later, hey we're getting married! Hey we have a kid! Hey can we hang out the wife is divorcing me and taking the house and kid...yes AGAIN I know. I know one guy from high school with 4 kids by 4 different women, never been married, and was with a new chick and had nothing to do with the others last time I knew. The number of people I know who did the whole date for a while, then get together, move in, get married a few years down the road is astonishingly small. It's quite black pilling.

  106. The problem T2 has is a good problem: it's CG DOES hold up. It makes a lot from today look bad. Ditto for Jurassic Park. It's the right blend in both cases of cg and practical, real effects.

  107. Goya is a bad example, that was a BUYcott, not a boycott. It sends a much bigger message if company As sales drop a bit as people leave, but at the same time a competors sales increase massively as As customers buy against them with the competition.

  110. Nope was 'okay'. It was very similar to 'Get Out', which was also just okay, and very similar to Us, which I hated. I did like 40mg of edibles an hour before the movie and it was tolerable.

  111. They just don't understand, I'd never heard of CFA before the LAST big 'gay' scandal like 10 years ago. When that was going on, it made me say "I wonder what this is all about, since so many people are jumping up and down and squawking about it, I should go try this food". And I've been going back ever since, converted to CFA by the rabid left lol.

  112. We are experts, and with our expertise we are telling you this is a great product, and it's even on sale, click here to buy it, we get a kickback if you do, and this is completely not an advertisement. You got to buy it, you got to buy it, Buy,buy, buy!! I guess such sites fail to realize that by positioning themselves as 'product experts' in the field, that when you then recommend a product it basically becomes an ad, even if you don't profit from it. They're lending their 'authority' on the subject to backing whatever product they recommend to consumers. It would be like an olympic gold medalist pro athlete saying in an interview that they use such-and-such vitamins or supplements, and they are not paid in any way by the company, they just really like their vitamins and supplements, you should try them...that's advertising, albeit free. It makes people stand in the store looking at two competing products and saying "I saw this one get 10 stars on PC Gamer, this other one was not mentioned...I'll get the recommended one".

  113. I agree with that. Go have sex in public, eh, that's not that great but I don't really care... negligent discharge, that requires immediate, universal, sustained excoriation. Super graphic of the most graphic porn isn't hurting anyone physically, NDs kill people dead.

  114. Lol, quit when the platform FINALLY has anything remotely worth watching? Twitch already sounds like a porn site by the name alone, may as well pivot. It's the last online space Amazon isn't dominating. Instead of spending a billion dollars on 5 seasons of Woke of The Rings, The Rings of CRT Power, a billion spent on porn production would probably have a higher return

  116. Meanwhile, my 83 year old dad: The fuck are these crap, get me mach 3s! Because I got him Jeremys razors for his birthday, didn't like them. He's always talking about how safety razors went out when he left the army in 1961, so catch up, zoomer.

  117. When I was allowed a beard at work, I went to a beard specialist barber every three weeks and paid him $35 per visit. I have no clue what he charged, I always gave two $20s and only $5 in change. I went to high school with him, we've been friends 30 years, $35/hr every month is cheap to get an amazing cut and talk to a friend.

  118. I also just spent $150 on a Braun Series 7 which is THE sole and only electric razor my barber directly recommended. It works ok. Not blade close but enough to meet uniform standard.

  119. I've thought about a shavette, which is the full size single use disposable straight razor my barber uses on me. Think of a safety razor but it's no safe and the blade is 5"

  120. Just realized, 7 years I was getting my beard trimmed by my licensed expert, not once, ever, for any reason did he use scissors of any kind on my beard. Special clippers only, and very sparingly. Has to be for a good reason, because he always did my hair ONLY By hand with scissors, no clippers on my head hair. Again, has to be for a reason. He makes way more than I ever will so can't judge.

  121. I'm not a celebrity, I'm not wealthy or rich, but I've been aware of my 'property privilege' during all of this. I own 100 acres, my nearest neighbor is a half-mile away, the nearest police station is half an hour away. As long as my utilities keep working and I have supplies, it's no problem for me to stay home, there's tons to do around here. From that perspective, if i was back at college right now in my 900 sq/ft apartment living with thousands of other people on top of me I'd be freaked the fuck out and climbing the damn walls lol. I really do feel for people who are literally trapped inside a small space and can't go out and walk for miles without ever leaving their yard.

  122. Is there a flip side to drag, like women who like to dress up like mountain men and parade on stage and swing axes or something? This all seems very one sided. I'd hate for the butch chicks not to have their own LARP thing lulz.

  126. That said, I've watched YouTube videos where men tested out sex toys and their reactions with the act out of frame, millions of views, zero bans. Look at Wavy Gravy's channel. I suppose being gay exempts them from bans.

  127. Only solution is to demonitize everything. Go back to original youtube, where 'creators' were paid by not getting an enormous video hosting bill every month for their stuff to be up.

  128. Yes, anyone. Embrace free speech and expression Twitch. All of it.

  130. True, most people don't see a film based solely on whom it was directed by, BUT I will say that I saw the trailer for 'Oppenheimer' in my screening of 'Nope' and I thought, "Hmm, I don't know about that OH WAIT it's written and directed by Christopher Nolan? Then I definitely have to see it" So that DOES happen. I think that's why 'Blackhat' was such a bigger disappointment, many people including myself watched that solely because it was a Michael Mann project, and all his past work was masterful. Can't win 'em all.

  133. Uncomfortable question, but why does a sub-one million sub channel have such enormous overhead? 10 employees? Channels 50x larger have less overhead than that, with far more revenue. I just can't understand the business model as described.

  134. Sadly he's years behind lol. I'm not in the partner program, I have monetization turned OFF, I do not and never have had a AdSense account. My channel videos have had ads for YEARS already. This is nothing new. Even demonitized videos run ads, youtube keeps and always has kept all the money. It's been that way at least 6-8 years for me, catch up.

  137. The streamers making $200k/month, that brings a lot of attention. I remember Ninja getting cable news interviews when he was making a fraction of that, and it was such a big deal parents were pulling their kids out of school, spending their college fund on Fortnite coaches for the kids so they could make these esports millions. Turns out the real $ is In selling yourself

Oh, I see you have a 815 Fico and 50% down, were adding 10% to your mortgage rate, so we can give the disadvantaged homebuyers with the 620 fico and zero cash whatsoever that 2% rate.

  141. Stories like this make we wonder if dating today is not treated like some vestigial ceremony we still do out of habit and have forgotten the POINT of. As a man nearing 40 with much success in life, if I'm dating you, if I'm investing all this time, I'm vetting you for marriage, for family, for kids, for spending the rest of my life with. If it's date 2 and you're acting all crazy and tossing out odd 'we can't do this or that until date whatever, you're not serious, you're playing a game. Go find someone who wants to play, not someone serious about life. When she tells the guy on date 2 who goes to her house "we're not having sex" and he leaves, duh, what did you think was going to happen. He certainly has better things to do than whatever you wanted to do that was not sex, what were you going to make sundaes and watch Amazon? That's more like date 20, not date 2.

  142. I'd like to see 'creators' get charged what it costs Youtube to host their video. I think that would be hilarious to some of these pompus channels. "Oh look my 10 min video went viral and got 50 million views!...what's this? A bill for 8 million hours of HD video bandwidth hosting?! $250,000 bandwidth bill?!?!? For one video...I make these everyday! Quick, stop subscribing, stop watching, don't share!"

  146.  @Doomweapon66  the real irony is if the kids want actual pron, it's was easier AND CHEAPER than twitch lol. Twitch is very dated compared to free pron sites, no $ or accounts needed, and anyone under 30 grew up in that ecosystem so they're way better than us old almost-40 people at finding it. Just lean in and become OF Twitch. Pron is the last thing Amazon hasn't dominated online already

  147. Not going to lie, if you are relying on youtube to save a life in a medical emergency, darwin is starting to apply. It's 50/50 at absolute best you get info that helps, more likely that hurts. Rather, lets all take some days off from youtube and take an actual accredited course in real life in first aid/cpr/crisis response/lifesaving. Your local hospitals and such do this. It should be mandatory for all people.

  155. I wouldn't pay $5 to see her goods, I wouldn't waste the time to date her 3 times, but I'd gladly and readily pay $50 to be with her, then be rid of her. That's a better deal when I can get a million naked photos for free and 3 dates with here seems boring. Save everyone time.

  156. Here's a great Twitter idea: you can't follow or even tweet at any politician you aren't a constituent of. Facebook has for a decade had the constituent badge so a public figure knows you are commenting as a verified constituent. AOC has millions of followers, but only 700k constituents, which means she has to IGNORE some of those 700k to listen to people she does NOT REPRESENT, a huge disservice to her actual district.
