As an enjoyer of puns, I agree

I don’t buy cheap shit, stop assuming man. I have never met someone with such a chip on their shoulder Get help
So based on a subset of people who are entitled you are tarring everybody in existence with the same brush. Affordability, cost of living and wages are a whole other fucking issue related to CEO greed. Which is out of the scope of the discussion. The fact you are so bitter about this means it’s probably time to find a new job lmao
Are you serious? Where did I mention buying things cheap? That’s a funny looking straw man you built from nothing. Literal premium flagship phones like Apple/Samsung have planned obsolescence It isn’t about buying a cheap product when a lot of busineses follow such shitty practices
Why are you blaming the consumer for a problem businesses have created. Planned obsolescence, doesn’t matter how many $$$$ you put into a product. It has a shelf life. Especially with more tech
Even if they could invent self-repairing appliances/phones they wouldn’t do it… Because then they couldn’t sell you new thing
The top left one is kinda cool, ngl. Not very effective but think of the jabbing you could do with it!
Something rather cringe and obnoxious in hindsight was the over use of the word “ocd” It was quite common in media and in my circles for somebody to say “I’m so ocd” when referring to some perfectly normal thing they do like tidying bookcases and organising things.
It’s pretty cringy now and I’d never say it now. I feel bad for saying it… but hey personal growth I guess. I was in school/college at the time too so it was a long time ago. There were a lot of things that were common at school that I used to say that are definitely not pc nowadays and I accept that. I don’t pretend to be a perfect and morally righteous invidual. I have flaws as much as the next person
Not even just that… Alienates all potential leftwing/brand friendly advertiser’s through changes and being the spokesperson for the platform.

Dude needs to stfu, make an alt account. He has chosen to be the spokesperson for the platform. Spouting off conspiracies and controversial takes. You can’t be surprised nobody wants to associate with him.
He is a liability and a brand risk. Sure he can have his opinions but here is the problem…
He has chosen to be extremely public and force those opinions onto the average consumer feed due to his narcissistic tendencies and it is biting him in the ass.
No sympathy. He wanted free speech, (albeit it isn’t because he is okay as long as it doesn’t criticise him or his affiliates.) now he has his free speech platform but in the same way advertisers can chose not to engage with it.
So they should, child labour laws should apply to these kids just as any other business. The money earned from these videos need to be paid to the child. Even if it’s in a trust fund where the kid can take it out when they’re old enough and can make better decisions. Like child tv stars they need to only have to work a set amount of hours, no longer.
When I say this I’m talking about toy channels, I’m not talking about the mumfluencer channels. This kind of constant forceful filming of their childrens every moment should be stopped, kids need to have privacy, it’s known to be detrimental to their mental health when they’re constantly documented, and they are also far more likely to get bullied because of it.
I can’t begin to imagine all my bad childhood memories being immortalised thanks to a pushy parent who saw me as a money machines more than a person.
