  • The big problem is there are a lot of good creators who are only able to be good creators in large part because of the YouTube ad revenue they get. They would otherwise have to work normal jobs and not be able to devote the time or resources to their videos. I have little faith that enough viewers would actually pay enough money to offset the ad revenue that supports many creators. Without a way to realistically replace that financial stream there is a large chunk of YouTube that can’t migrate. Of course, that’s no loss with some of the content mills churning out crap to try and cash in on the revenue, but I’ve seen plenty of good stuff that I’m not sure would exist another way.










  • I’m 40 and just started medication for ADHD. When I was in school there were some kids diagnosed with it, but they were the kids bouncing off the wall. I was just told I was a daydreamer, lacked concentration, just needed to focus more because I had so much potential if I could do the work. Instead I just skated by as a B student largely on testing well, but not turning things in. That’s not to say you do or don’t have it, just don’t assume you don’t have it because no one ever mentioned it when you were young.


  • It looks like they’re releasing a sequel soon, so I’m guessing that’s why it’s free right now. Not the first game on the Mac I have that became unplayable fairly quickly after release. Actually, looking at the release date of 2021 for the game, it was never playable except on older Macs, because macOS Catalina (10.15) was released in 2019 and was the first version of macOS to not support 32-bit applications. So the game was already 2 years out of date.
