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.


I strongly suspect that Musk has found some near infinite money fugazzi, likely leveraging AI with crypto, while plundering Government coffers.
Ok but what would materially change if he suddenly got eleventy billion gajjillion dollars instead of the $850 billion he supposedly has now? Or the $100 billion he has 2 years ago?
There is really no difference.
I think everyone else gets collectively poorer.
