I think one of my biggest gripes with YouTube as a platform is the prevalence of hate speech and scams that show up as Ads. And YouTube doesn't care. They don't do anything about reports as such, they're happy to take people's money and show more 10-60 minute 'ads' extolling scams or just outright hate speech.

There's no curation. The moderation is a joke. They work harder to deal with DMCA issues than the legit actual liability.

Well hello again….

Worker: I can't live on $7.25/hr

GOP: So go to college

W: I can't afford $100K tuition

GOP: Take out loans

W: I can't afford to pay these at 8% interest

GOP: No one forced you to go to college

W: But you just said—

Billionaire: I NEED MORE MONEY!

GOP: Here's a $2T Tax Cut

This is hilariously stupid. I mean, just painfully stupid. And, yes, it's real.

Welcome new twitter expats!

I know for a lot of you this is a temporary migration, and you'll head back once they fix the problems.

But before you go back to twitter, take this thought with you: the owners of twitter don't just push their agendas at you. You already know that, and probably think it doesn't affect you. But what you don't see is how much stuff is gone there now. You don't see who's gone, or what views aren't there anymore

“Elon must be destroying the site on purpose he can’t be that stupid!” Last week a billionaire imploded, literally, because he thought he could outsmart the laws of physics. Never being told “no” makes a person stupid.

I'm sorry but this is just the funniest shit ever.

These losers were mad that celebs had checkmarks and they didn't. Now they can buy the same checkmark and they're mad that the celebs won't.
