  • Those both require subscriptions for access though instead of offering an ad based tier so that already excludes a majority of viewers from being able to move over from yt and those producers are unlikely to abandon their current audiences for a possibly bigger audience under a different corporation. I think that’s going to be necessary for a majority of viewers and producers to switch to another A/V distribution platform. If Netflix or MTV had an ad-only based tier and released apps for phones, Roku, browser, etc and allowed producer uploads then I suspect they could take a big chunk of Google’s yt viewership and profits.



  • Capitalist propaganda has had decades to hone and refine their techniques for manipulation and deception, the only way to win is to not play their rigged game, but if you’re forced to because they’ve captured all of the resources under a government backed judiciary that’s purpose is to centralize wealth and power under a minority ownership class i think you’d be justified to take more drastic measures to subvert or remove their propaganda.















  • Do what you think is right, but actually take some time to determine if it’s actually right or just feels right

    Don’t wait for someone else to challenge your beliefs do it yourself first, use the Socratic method if you need a starting point

    Rewarding or ignoring bad behavior is the same as encouraging bad behavior

    Leave places/systems in the same or better state than you encounter them

    Don’t play rigged games

    Keep a bowl by the door for keys and loose change


  • I think the usual recs are things like start small and consistent and take care of your physical health (not over/under sleeping, good diet and exercise, keeping yourself and home clean, etc), hobbies, cultivate relationships, etc but if you’re not able to take the steps to make those things happen you may need a professional’s help who can offer things like talk therapy, behavior therapy, medicine, etc. i.e. If I have a sprained ankle I can keep weight off it and wrap it to let it heal, but if it’s a break I’d need a doctor to maybe set the break and cast it to get it to heal properly, similar for mental health some stuff you can do yourself but some stuff takes someone else trained to heal or help identify the difference between the two.
