The platforms might be the difference between crazy and crazier, but nobody is going from normal to psychotic because of YT.

"But I follow thousands of people" I was wondering why someone would feel this way until I got to that line! Why would you follow thousands of people if "noise" bothers you? I thin…

We're not doing this anymore, dude. We all agreed on that years ago.

100% - I don't think this article responsibly differentiated between the ideas of boundary-setting and control. The author (I think ) actually means to say that we should try and m…

That's a pretty dramatic take. Social media use in general probably declines with age, and although I'm not sure how you'd quantify it, I bet that using social media primarily as a…

Please, find an example of a better system in a stronger economy.

Unfortunately people are really bad at assessing scale, so they forget that there are always going to be people who "have to" do this kind of job. Always. The goal should be to giv…

This job sounds shitty but have you ever spoken to someone in a domestic role? A postal employee? A trucker? A janitor at your office building? Kitchen staff at a restaurant who do…

Drip is also UK slang for a boring, unimpressive person :|

I lived in SF for many years and fully absorbed the culture, and wow, getting out was a huge wake-up call. The bubble is extreme. Outside, streets colored by actual human shit, peo…

Interesting read. Sounds like some inefficient government bodies grappling with complicated software that they dropped tons of money on without fully understanding. And now they're…

Sage? GoCardless? Coinbase? Etsy? A platform that pays out specifically for nsfw content (like pornhub)? Hatreon, as many have mentioned? If no available alternatives suit, and the…

This letter reflects very poorly on the writer(s). You would think Patreon is the difference between life and death for them (they basically say as much). You would think that with…

LOL. Yeah she's blatantly choosing to do it, her income puts her at twice the poverty line figure for a family of 4. God knows it's tough out there but come on. Get a cheaper flat …

That's sweet and all but the rest of us have to pay rent

Ugh, I watched the video, jesus the host might be the least self-aware person who's ever been asked to host anything. I was unreasonably annoyed listening to him. Anyway I want to …
