Is this about Hillbilly Elegy?

No, EVs in general aren't a bad idea. But, to my knowledge, they have a lot of problems that no one is even getting close to solving on a global basis. There's recycling of and mining for components, preferably in a sustainable way and without child workers. Also, EVs are still expensive as fuck compared to ICE vehicles, especially on the used market. And if you're buying used, then the battery doesn't even have full capacity anymore. And even IF you can get it switched by a mechanic (if you can even find one willing to do that), that is just even more money you have to spend upfront.

Granted, most of that might change over time, but for most people atm it's just not feasible to buy an EV.

Youtube is my main source of entertainment. I don't watch regular TV, and I barely watch any movies or series. Doesn't have anything to do with an addiction, it's personal preference lmao

I know about Nebula, but you have to admit, the barrier to entrance is a lot higher for most people because of the subscription fee, so it's not necessarily a direct comparison. Some of my favourite content creators are on there.

Didn't know about Odysee. As far as I can see, that platform uses crypto for payments, which could also act as a deterrent to some people.

As for Rumble: Personally, I wouldn't touch anything related to JD Vance with a ten foot pole (he's a pretty big investor). And one of their biggest channels seems to be by Andrew Tate (ew). To be fair, I couldn't tell you for sure that Youtube doesn't take money from any of them in some form. But they seem to be more of an equal opportunity offender lol.

The problem is, there's just no (good) direct competition. The audience will follow creators once enough of them switch to the same alternative platform. But as long as there's no platform with a comparable amount of money behind it, most people will continue to use Youtube.

Is that a doll? There's a thing behind her that looks like a stand 🤔

So 23 on each leg?

Thriller? I barely know her!

It was probably cheaper for them to just refund you instead of processing a broken item and disposing of it themselves.

Damn, 120 years in total

Does Fortnite count? Playing against cracked out 10 year olds, who build a fortification faster than you can say "fortification" is stressful as fuck

Isn't that stuff usually a creative decision by the voice director?
