I'm under the impression that Google deliberately hinders their YouTube platform just because you have ad-blockers. With videos taking time to buffer, seems to signal this, because it almost makes up nearly the amount of time for when ads take if you had to watch them. So since you're ad-blocking and they don't like that, they'll make your experience miserable until you want to pay their service or not use ad-block.

At the end of the day, money only matters as far as HOW you can spend it.

The Zucc poured $77,000,000,000 into a fucking vr sim. WHY?!?!

If you're bothered spending time tricking people into thinking you're the #1 Path of Exile player in the world, you probably aren't considered highly on the world stage.

Think of how Putin may utilise that much wealth.

Don't get me wrong, spaceships are cool, but... Let's be real... Nobody is going to live on Mars in Elon Musks lifetime...

Trump is a dickhead, but at least taking Venezuela and Greenland are realistic goals lol
