>Even if I never used DDG search it would still be valuable to use DDG with bangs for wikipedia, google, youtube, etc. I love this about ddg. I watch to a lot of YouTube videos, and being able to just type “!yt search terms” is just too

To piggyback this a bit: I highly recommend YouTuber Shaun’s videos on this topic [Stefan Molyneux’s Fall of Rome - A Response] ( https://youtu.be/BHW3Y_p2llo ) [Immigration and the Fall of Rome] ( https://youtu.be&

While I’ll agree he never uses the phrase “arms race”, he does say this: >The growth of advertising is fueled by the enormous waste it creates. In any somewhat saturated market - which, today, is most of them - any effort you spent on ad

Wisconsin is in the US so US laws and regulations are what apply. Moreover it seems Europe also has similar legislation/protections for people with disabilities. This is equality. No bending necessary.

C0nc0rdance has a pretty good video about this: https://youtu.be/dDA0skyptuo I never really thought about the possible harm, but the above video is great. It’s originally from a Sam Harris essay.

I didn’t expect to agree with this post. Glad I took the time to read it, as he has a very good point.

Did we read the same article? You’re implying the article casts doubt on DHA supplement bioavailability. It doesn’t. It casts doubt on any notion some vegans/vegetarians may have that simply eating seaweed in their diet is enough, beca

lmao that’s was my reaction. I’ve been taking DHA supplements and eating a plant-based diet for over a decade. I thought the article might expose some skeezy marketing ploys on the part of BigVitamin, that I had been buying into all along,

Wow. TIL. Thanks for this comment even though people are downvoting you into oblivion. Although the concept has existed for centuries, the term "meritocracy" is relatively new. It was used pejoratively by British politician and s

I'm using uMatrix, so I didn't even notice. At least it's relatively easy to get around the modal and read the interview?

Your first 3 links are all referencing the same University of Minnesota study. Your last link seems to be based on the writer’s observations (I did not find it linking or mentioning any study). I’m not even disagreeing with the fact that so

I think Nixon and Reagan’s push for “tough on crime” policy (policy that went on to be pushed further by HW Bush, Clinton, and W Bush)also played a large role. But it definitely got worse after 9/11.

This so much! As I've been watching people freak out over FB, I've been wondering - if people didn't even bother to read the pop-up, bulleted lists of information they were sharing with the apps they were connecting to FB, th

All of my comments have been about the shooter's relationship to YouTube as a company, so that's why I brought up employment status. I was literally replying to the comparison to "someone getting fired from their job". I

I didn't call them beggars - I was only meaning to call out the comparison to employees. Sorry for the confusion. I've edited the original comment.

Ah - I just saw this. Sorry I totally copied your comparison without meaning to. Thanks for getting what I meant despite my poor analogy.

Lyft drivers are independent contractors. In my opinion they (and Favor deliverers, etc.) should be categorized as employees instead and should receive benefits. Uploading content to YouTube is not the same thing. I'm not meaning to sa

Yes we understand that - but these were her options: continue hosting on YouTube, host on another site/hosting service (a lot of new anti-YouTubes are popping up), or self-host. She had a choice in this. YouTube being the most popular

Advertising intermixed with content is also the only type of advertising YouTubers actually have control of. It may be annoying or inconvenient but it's a hell of a lot better than them complaining about the site that hosts their conte

I wonder the same thing sometimes. I remember being happy when they lowered the bar to entry to the Partnership Program. Now I think that was a huge mistake and they should think of phasing it out completely. Too many people have misunderst

That would suck for many people, but would totally be in their right. Again - how are people confused about this. If AWS drops you as a customer use an alternative. Moreover, these people's videos are still hosted on YouTube's ser

It's not similar to being fired. [REDACTED: It's similar to a store owner allowing you to panhandle outside their business, and then later telling you you can't panhandle there anymore (but loiter all you want!).] It is not r

It’s not the media’s fault. If you’re going to blame anyone - blame the advertisers. They are the ones with the money everyone (YouTube and YouTubers alike) is trying to get their hands on. Unfortunately they are the ones who hold the cards

“They demonetized a ton of legitimate YouTube channels in a rush to appease their advertisers.” It’s almost as if the money those channels felt entitled to came from advertisers. /s

I’ve been getting increasingly more annoyed by the entitlement some YouTube creators have shown towards Adsense dollars. And I’m perplexed at some of the comments on this story (“YouTube was her main source of income”). Yeah, she hedged her
