Tenniswaffles,

And that’s how things die due to no revenue. Running YouTube is expensive af and the more people who used things like revanced, the worse things will become for everyone else.

Tenniswaffles,

Basically everything within capitalism fucks over someone that’s just business as usual 8n out society. Usually to a much worse degree, think the children who likely made your clothes for next to nothing. I’m all for tearing down the system, but there’s not a whole lot as an individual that I can do.

Tenniswaffles,

You’ll care as more and more people have to quit YouTube or make progressively more shit content to appease the algorithm. It also makes it harder and harder for new people to start on YouTube.

Tenniswaffles,

My point in my comment was about how YouTube is expensive to run and that the more people who refuse to generate revenue for it (I feel dirty writing that and strongly disagree with it, by my feelings have no effect on reality,) then it has to make shittier and shittier decisions to generate that revenue.

I 100% agree that YouTube should pay their creators more and protect them from bullshit copyright, but that would just compound the issue of the cost of running the site.

What is this entitled attitude everyone has where they believe they should be handed things for free? It completely unsustainable and childish. Corporations do not do things for free, they can’t. They exist solely to generate revenue and if they can’t, they die. I generally hate corporations on principle, but again my feelings don’t change reality.

Tenniswaffles,

Well, we certainly didn’t leave that signature sense of superiority behind.

What social taboos that exist today do you think will not be around in 100 years?

I was reading a book on social life of the upper-middle class and new rich of the American 1920s and realized so many things we now do proudly were considered socially taboo back then. This was especially the case for clothing, makeup, women in certain public spaces, etc. What do you think will be different in the 2120s? Or...

Tenniswaffles,

You obviously don’t get out much. >90% of people have perfectly fine manners and respect in the real world, it only the terminally online who would think this. Or boomers I guess.

Tenniswaffles,

I’m aware of that. But you’re insane if you think that in even 100 years from now manners and politeness/respect will be gone. Basically ever generation for literal centuries have had similar opinions about the manners of the youth, and guess what; manners and respect have stayed pretty much the same. Sure the way it’s expressed may be different from centuries ago but people are still generally polite to others in most scenarios.

And as an aside I used boomers as an example because it’s usually the older generation that hold such opinions. But that’s probably a bad assumption here considering the average boomer has probably moved on from fart humour.

Tenniswaffles,

Did you not read past the title? They literally state that he has no trouble falling asleep in situations that most would have trouble with and their only issue seems to be planes.

Tenniswaffles,

No, you’re just not funny.

Tenniswaffles,

I’ve heard people use “passed,” to refer to people dying for my entire life. Nothing has happened to plain English, you’ve just been living under a rock apparently.

  • Tenniswaffles,

    How is that coming up in conversation though? Do you see someone talking about SRS and immediately insert yourself and give your own opinion on something irrelevant to you, completely unsolicited? Because I don’t think many trans people are asking random cis people about their thoughts on SRS, I can’t think of any other circumstance that would necessitate you giving your opinion on something completely irrelevant to you if you, as you say “don’t care if you do, or have that desire/feeling.” You can certainly feel this way, but coming into a trans space so you can explain to them that you don’t “understand it,” for no reason seems pretty transphobic.

    An analogy would be, if someone went up to you after you mentioned something very important to your identity, beliefs or who you are and started explaining to you how they just don’t get it or can’t understand why you believe or resonate with this thing for no reason. It’s disrespectful.

    Tenniswaffles,

    Then the original commenter should stop bitching when people call them a transphobe. If they can’t handle other people’s opinions of them they should just go outside.

    Tenniswaffles,

    While I agree that marketing trying to sell you upgrades you don’t need is dumb and annoying, it’s a pretty poor argument unless you have absolutely no willpower or something and can’t stop yourself from buying new things just because it been advertised to you.
