  • Reminds me of stupid me after I received a ginormous family inheritance I went through a phase of buying every stupid little thing that I would’ve never bought before. It was sometime around the implosion of the John McAfee empire debacle I was vaguely aware that something was going awry with him & the company but I was lost in my own little world buying post-it notes at a Staples store.

    At the checkout counter the employee brought my attention to a small display of heavily discounted McAfee antivirus software something-something for only $5 and all my conscious brain knew at the time was

    “Wow, didn’t that used to cost $40-$75? and McAfee has been in the news lately. I have no idea what’s going on but yes I will pay $5 for this thing.” 🤦🏼‍♀️

    It was completely useless and I doubt I ever took it out of the package before eventually throwing it away.













  • Anyone interested in history better start collecting actual tangible history books before they’re all destroyed, and read & learn from those books, before TPTB use computers & internet & ai to rewrite past history to change & omit past historical events for their own nefarious purposes.





  • I assumed they were already doing that. They’ve never been forthcoming in regards to what actually counts as a view.

    1. Especially weird if I view videos from my own channel, on my end it seems to tally each time I watch my own videos, which isn’t supposed to happen.

    2. And videos I never chose or clicked on automatically start playing as soon as I open the app or switch from “Me” to “Home.”

    3. Or if one person watches a video multiple times, does youtube count each of those views? Because for YouTubers whose livelihood depends on likes & views & subscribers, YouTube needs to make sure a creator isn’t manipulating the system with bot farms or friends/family/paid losers to repeatedly watch the videos.

    Now my brain hurts & I’m grumpy. Bye.
