Yeah. I've seen way more people correcting someone for using the wrong word when it is obvious what they meant instead of responding to what they've said and I think that is a big indicator of the kind of people that are joining.

I haven't been here for that long (start of december) but I feel like I have felt the obvious shift as more reddit people have joined the site.

At this point I think that it is safe to say that at minimum about 20% of the population is lost. Someone who thinks that invading Greenland and that these tariffs are good is not going to be reasoned out of their position.

There is a reason doctors don't call patients the r slur anymore. even if it started scientific that is not at all how it is being used.

Why specifically creatives? There are so many other professions that are more important to someones everyday life and no one seems to hold the same vitriol at them valuing their time that people do for creatives. I don't see people suggesting that nurses get a day job and do nursing on the side.

Do you think the same thing about people who work for basically any company? Because they are way more directly responsible for the actions of their corporation than the average person that makes 50k a year between AdSense and sponsors.

Yeah there are a lot of factors at play. I have YT premium because my parents still pay for a family plan even though I am out of the house so I don't think I'll be getting off YT for a while at least.

Nebula also doesn't have a comment section which is invaluable when someone makes a mistake or you disagree with someone on a point.

What do you think keeps something deep being in the form of audio? I get that videos aren't great for research but audio can just be written word spoken so that people that can't read or don't enjoy reading can experience it. I read more than pretty much anyone that I know in my age range and I don't see myself as superior because of it and doing some comes across as frankly pomous and self important.

I turned basically all of the optional filters on a few days ago at the advice of another lemming and I did not even realise until now that the internet had gotten noticeably less annoying.

There is a difference between being a shitty person and a hypocrite. I thought most republicans (the voters not the politicians mind you) were simply misinformed and that they really did think that what they were doing was for improving the country. After Trump I no longer think that is the case.

It would be if I could afford to invest into retirement rather than making sure that I have enough money that when prices go up I can still buy food.
