"Superior" level

I never did understand why so-called smart people pay money to be told they're smart.

Edit: Probably the reverse of the reason people are paid to tell others, people like you, that you're a no-good waste of space and you don't deserve me even addressing lifeforms as low as you; you disgusting piece of human excrement. That'll be £50, maggot.

"Why are young people not having children?!"

We all have our own models of how the world works. This frames how we understand the meanings of content.

The phrase "baby left alone" in no way implies it's the mother's fault. It is correct, a baby was left alone, in as much the fault of the 'system'.

This meme feels more like something to instil anger and hatred than anything actually useful.

Since ICE refuses to show their badge and cops refuse to verify, welcome to the future.

And here starts the planting of the idea that Iran is going to attack American soil... Media outlets including posts like this on social media are now shifting the narrative to make American's fearful and to help shift blame and hatred onto Iran. It's as if the much publicised ICE raids with narrative about their lack of identification was actually planned, or something. There's like a playbook of this.

Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers

I'm finding I'm using youtube less and less that I can't actually remember the last time I used it for anything. Youtube has so much crap now.

Because of their monetisation scheme for content creators, it was profitable for creators to drag 15 mins of information out to one hour, and then to include shock faces as thumbs to get more clicks, and then to get more viewers just to watch a bit of the video as viewership dwindles into just mindlessly watching suggestions.

I feel sorry for those creators who have gone balls deep with youtube content and who have no "plan b".
