  • Let me explain my point of view - it’s not about giving money to Google but showing the business that there’s a viable monetization strategy that isn’t locking down content or fighting ad blockers.

    Let’s say there is no Youtube premium and everyone has an adblocker then google has no choice but to fight ad blocking harder or lock down the content because Youtube starts to bleed money. Now some lazy people pay for Premium and we have this little golden mean where everyone can kinda use the platform kinda freely which is a pretty good compromise if you ask me.

    It’s not a new idea either, the entire philosophy of Stoicism is based around dichotomy of thought where thoughts happen and then we have the capacity to conciously react and correct ourselves. This also exists in Buddhism so we’ve been aware of this for a very long time and this discovery still holds true in contemporary sciences.


  • I speak Russian due to having lived under Soviet occupstion and constantly overhear Russian tourists while traveling in Asia and honestly I wish I couldn’t understand because they argue over the dumbest shit. Now I’m in Thailand and the theme is price measuring everything down to the cents. I’ve heard several loud arguments over whether a thing is cheaper here than at home etc it’s so weird. I get that Russia is going through an economic crisis but why you’re traveling at all then.
