But why even do it? Setup a server, change a webcam setting, boom, you're livestreaming directly to everyone, nothing to take down.
BUT, you don't get the free hosting youtube provides, is the catch.
This is why I despise monetization and ads and all the money people have gotten addicted to on youtube. The hosting used to be the compensation. A free video host? Amazing, groundbreaking.
If even a modestly large YT channel had to pay their actual hosting fees they'd lose money endlessly, not make it, even with adsense.
Maybe we all need to get off these pedistals and get back down to the real platform, the internet. You don't need a service, you dont need an app, the tools to do it all are easy and FREE, they worked for decades past, they'll work today.
But it takes getting off your ass and off a site where someone else does all your work like yt

And that's really the thing here, choices and preferences are ok, and someday THEY might learn that lol.
I like broccoli, I enjoy cooking and eating broccoli. I don't like Kale, I don't eat it. That does not mean I'm anti-kale and through my vegetable preference am trying to invalidate kale's existence, lived experience, intersectional identity, or those who enjoy it. I'm not part of any organized anti-kale-spiracy, I'm not a far-white alt-vegetable extremist lol.
I just don't like that food so I don't eat it, and if someone wants to do so themselves, fine, but why, ick, lol.
For a group that's so pro-non-binary, the left as a whole craves painting themselves into binary thinking corners. If you don't support something, that makes you against it. If you support something, by their default you oppose the inverse, and that's just not reality.

@edwardfigueroa4436 If you sell assets to buy assets, it's not like you lose assets. I forget what financial expert I heard this from, but one of the biggest mistakes people make is confusing negative assets for positive assets.
You buy a car with cash, you lose money, depreciation, market value, breakdowns, and such.
You buy a second home to lease out, you MAKE money, it's an actual asset that brings in more resources rather than taking resources. If Musk buys twitter for $X billion, and a year from now it's worth $X+1.5 billion, that's a great asset, and even at $40 billion and the value going up 1.5 bill is still only around 3% return, very feasible.
Of course, if I had a billion dollars myself, I wouldn't spend a dime. I'd convert it all to Tether crypto earning 9% interest and live off the paltry $90 million in interest every year lol

My father (Army, 101st Airborne, Retired, 1958-1961) has always told me that: Just because someone is a veteran doesn't make them a good person. He gets tired of that today always seeming to be used as almost a protected class, "You can't criticize that person, they're a vet!". And he's right. People should be thanked for their service, of course, it's respect-worthy, but it's also at the end of the day just a job.
He gets shocked when he sees news about whats going on in today's military. When he was in, late 50s/early 60s, he had two jobs: kill people, break things. Wokism was in short supply lol

I like watching youtubers stream and count their super chats and membership joins.
It's interesting to see like "Don't forget to become a member, we're almost up to 100 new members for this week!". That's $500 minus the YT cut extra per week and continuing monthly.
Specific example: I watched the super chats a few months ago when CorpseHusband was livestreaming his Among US playing, and he was making, no joke, more than $100/MINUTE on average. For Hours. The chat was just zipping by, $25, $50, $50, $200, $50, over and over non-stop.
SO, can a youtuber make enough money to not need a day job, no, usually not. But a POPULAR youtuber, yes, millions easily. Corpse has 7 mill+ subs for context.

The hilarity of the coof is all these dumb -fs get to learn how much the cities suck. It's great living in a tiny box until you're trapped in it lolololol.
I had covid during Christmas, ordered to quarantine at home for 10 days, and it was AMAZING. Of course, I have 100 acres of property, a shooting range, garage, workshop, lakes, atvs, and an endless property to-do list, and the weather was unseasonably mild for winter, so I got to enjoy a nice paid vacation lockdown after my 2 days of mild fever were over.
I highly recommend it.

The worst affected (traumatized/terrorized) are the kids we've put through this insanity. To them, a year of these terrorists scaring them is a large portion of their life. For a 10 year old, literally 10% of their life has been being put through this, forced to undergo this abuse.
I had just become an adult, 18, a senior in high school, when 9/11 and the entire universe of life-defining/culture-shattering changes that came with it happened, and it changed everything we know. I've now, at 38, lived longer in a post-9/11 world than a world before that seismic shift, and I can hardly remember that pre-9/11 world. It's 1984-ish, we've been told it for so long we just know we've always been at war with Oceania, I mean Eastasia, I mean Eurasia.

Imagine if youtube charged you for your cost of hosting your video. "Ok, monthly statement, ad revenue, $1000, nice....wait, 50,000 hours of HD video bandwidth, $10,000! That viral video ruined us!
I just think we need to go back to old-school youtube, where no one got paid, or expected to, so no one did BS videos by the billions of for money, chasing the algo. Commercializing youtube was the death of it, about 10 years ago.

HIPPA would not apply because if YOU tell someone your info, YOU authorize them to repeat it. If you tell the HR lady your vax status, or your drug abuse status, or your HIV status, by disclosure you release that Info. HIPPA would only apply in a case like another Dr office asking for your records and your Dr has no release form on file for it.
FERPA, the education version of HIPPA, is the same way. Once you release a transcript from your school to another, they then have that info and can use it because YOU gave it to them by your permission. Example: if you are a parent of a college student, and you call registrar to check your kids grades to make sure they're not f-ing off, they can't even tell you if they're enrolled or not without a FERPA release naming that parent on file. Once you do allow said release, that parent could check your info all they want, they'd have the same access as the owner of the info, the student. But if you blab your info, that's just out there, protections go out the window when you volunteer things personally.

Everyone is seeing this all backward: they're limiting gaming time, but if you play THEIR game, the game they WANT you to play, you get UNLIMITED play time.
Classic games such as exercise, practice combat maneuvers, work a productive job, have and raise strong children to protect and serve society, and nationalism.
Yes, all these classic IRL games are allowed unlimited play time, as they should in any nation. Level your character up today! Build out your skill tree, acquire resources, and battle other players and clans for territory and materials. The beauty of these games are you're already playing, it's just most people are REALLY noob at it.

Chaos Undivided Same here. I was seriously sick from Dec 23rd all the way through new years, and had this rattly, phlemy cough that sounded terrible through about valentines day. Bad fever, all-over body aches made worse by shivering, unstoppable runny nose, horrific sore throat, terrible cough and coughing, very swollen neck lymph nodes, but no nausea, no digestive issues, no vomiting. I thought it was strep at first and took some antibiotics I had on hand, which overnight almost eliminated the sore throat, but the rest of the symptoms ran their course.

True, BUT not when it comes to legally protected classes or the lack thereof.
I could not fire an employee because they're a raging communist, but being left handed and a left handed supremacist myself, I could fire them right now for being right handed. Unfortunately handedness is not yet a protected class in the US. As such an oppressed minority, if I want to operate my business where I only hire the left handed, that's fine. Just like entire massive hospital systems today and for over a decade do not hire tobacco users. To work in hospital here in the Midwest, for example, you cannot smoke on or off work. Smoking is not a protected class.
The real, easy fix here is to classify vaccination status as a protected class you can't discriminate against, or to classify vaccination status as a disability this making it an ADA violation to base a decision on. When I went to university of Missouri, they actually did list being left handed as an actual disability, and had I wanted I could have gotten certified through the disability services office as 'disabled' and gotten the use of an ADA approved left handed desk or table in any classroom I went to, BY LAW. I never did as I didn't need to, but that policy was in place.

Until we demonetize the entire platform, this will be a problem.
If you do youtube for the money, YOU are destroying free speech.
If they can't threaten your income, because you have none, you cannot be silenced.
We need to get back to youtube as a passion, and get away from 'creating as an industry'.
The growing movement in media is Value for Value. If you put out a good product, for free, with zero expectations of compensation, but just offer a way to donate back the value you get from the content, people are making millions with zero middlemen, no subscribepatreonstartube BS, no sponsor shilling, and no advertisers.
Just the viewers who like your content sending you value directly. Look into Podcasting 2.0 to get started.

@thegrayghost1786 As a nationally licensed water treatment professional, I disagree RE: fluoride, specifically hydrofluorosilicic acid. It's entirely unnecessary, and our entire industry agrees. You should see the holes it eats in the concrete floor at our water plant. You should see how it melts skin if you get it on you unprotected. Also, it's expensive, and the testing protocol we have to use to monitor fluoride levels, spadns, exposes lab workers to arsenic hourly and creates a toxic wastewater stream that has to be dealt with.
I and every other expert professional I know advocate for the end of fluoride addition to drinking water solely based on those occupational hazards. That's no conspiracy theory, and OSHA even agrees. Also, Jeffrey Epstien didn't kill himself, and I think you're uninformed name-calling is probably racist/bigoted hate speech and I support your banning from the platform lol.

My fellow Millennials, being 36 and an elder of our generation, I implore you to adopt the following reading list:
Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury
Slaughterhouse-Five, by Kurt Vonnegut
Behold a Pale Horse, by Bill Cooper
Confessions of an Economic Hitman, by John Perkins
1984, by George Orwell, and its companion novel, Animal Farm.
Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley
In the Garden of Beasts, by Erik Larson
That's a good start and will open your perceptions to many others you'll want to check out. I read F451 basically by accident when I was in middle school and it radically changed my views even to this day.

My horrific covid experience was feeling run down and more tired than usual at work on Tuesday, taking Wednesday and Thursday as sick days where I had a terrible fever, almost 100F lol, and was tired. I felt normal Friday, so I left the house to get tested, positive, placed under quarantine until the day after Christmas 2020.
My treatment was not throwing anything at it, there weren't really any symptoms TO treat. The following week on quarantine I felt GREAT, probably the most healthy I'd felt in a long time, I got a TON of work done around my farm being off work.
Contrast that with Christmas 2019 when I had strep and was so sick I thought I was going to actually die. High, real fevers for days, lost 15lbs in a week from not eating, chills, teeth-chattering shivers, crazy sore throat, and a cough that sounded terrible and I didn't shake off until around Valentines day-ish 2020.

I know in shooting competitions I've gone to, any ammo of ANY kind is not to be out or loaded in anything away from the firing line. If you need to do a function check or some other manipulation away from the firing line, you go to the designated 'cold range' area to do that, where you are allowed to take nothing but the empty, checked firearm in and tools as needed, and a safe, controlled direction to do things like sight and dry fire is provided and maintained. Hell, you can't even chamber a round until you're on the firing line, prepared to to your event.
It's rigid safety protocols and diligent, no-nonsense, no exceptions enforcement of them that keeps the thousands of firearms competitions everyday in the US stunningly safe. It's all pretty common sense stuff.

Honestly I'm kind of excited to see something remove nearly all the corrupting money from youtube, at last. Maybe it'll go back to the days before monetization, where people made whatever content they wanted and no one forced themselves into making whatever was trendy at that second, for money. In the good days of youtube, your payment for your content was the ability to have it hosted and seen by millions without you having to pay a fortune to a hosting provider. Youtube paid you by letting you upload content for free. At that time that was revolutionary. The google bought it and it's been giant channel monetary corporate merch selling garbage since then. No one should be making more than minimum wage here, because no one should be paying to watch your content, and by being advertised to and raped by data collection, we pay quite dearly. Also, with no money on the line, you can't be threatened over your content's content. Say expletives, be controversial, fuck brands and families, you'd probably get a bigger audience. But it should never be about the money. Some of the best channels on youtube, with the highest quality content, refuse to monetize and have never made a dime.

The proper acronym used to be LGBTQQIAAP, Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Allies, Pansexual.
The new '2S' form includes 'Two Spirited' persons, an indigenous American form of non-binary expression.
And now you know all that useless info I had to look up the other day.

"We should want everyone to be woke. But they won't be if we keep scaring them off. That's what wokeness is to me. Once you strip back all the jargon and posturing, it's just basic consideration."
NO, wokeness at it's purest is the absolute refusal to have any consideration, for any mitigating factor, for any circumstance or context, it's the complete denial of NUANCE.
"Oh, a white guy said the n-word, canceled!" "Yeah but, what was the situation in which he said it?" "Doesn't matter, he said the magic spell work, now the canceling happens! And YOU, are you DEFENDING him by asking about consideration or context!? That's makes you even worse! Collaborator! CANCEL!!"
If one has actual consideration, one cannot take being woke seriously in the vast majority of cases.

We are experts, and with our expertise we are telling you this is a great product, and it's even on sale, click here to buy it, we get a kickback if you do, and this is completely not an advertisement.
You got to buy it, you got to buy it, Buy,buy, buy!!
I guess such sites fail to realize that by positioning themselves as 'product experts' in the field, that when you then recommend a product it basically becomes an ad, even if you don't profit from it. They're lending their 'authority' on the subject to backing whatever product they recommend to consumers. It would be like an olympic gold medalist pro athlete saying in an interview that they use such-and-such vitamins or supplements, and they are not paid in any way by the company, they just really like their vitamins and supplements, you should try them...that's advertising, albeit free.
It makes people stand in the store looking at two competing products and saying "I saw this one get 10 stars on PC Gamer, this other one was not mentioned...I'll get the recommended one".

No time off, no f-ing, no family, you game for the state, game more, game better, game for the greatness of a-China, why aren't you gaming right a-now?!?!

Stories like this make we wonder if dating today is not treated like some vestigial ceremony we still do out of habit and have forgotten the POINT of.
As a man nearing 40 with much success in life, if I'm dating you, if I'm investing all this time, I'm vetting you for marriage, for family, for kids, for spending the rest of my life with. If it's date 2 and you're acting all crazy and tossing out odd 'we can't do this or that until date whatever, you're not serious, you're playing a game. Go find someone who wants to play, not someone serious about life.
When she tells the guy on date 2 who goes to her house "we're not having sex" and he leaves, duh, what did you think was going to happen. He certainly has better things to do than whatever you wanted to do that was not sex, what were you going to make sundaes and watch Amazon? That's more like date 20, not date 2.

He's never been talented and faced with the prospect of having that talent ripped from him, like a perverse form of bodily assault.
I've been there, I was a talented musician in high school and middle school before that. Marching band, concert, individual competition, quartet, pep band at basketball games, jazz band concert, I was even all conference soloing one year. And I never really practiced, I just coasted on talent. I probably could have been great if I really applied myself, I'd even had hopes of affording college through a music scholarship, I had a great high school band teacher who was married to the band program director of the school I wanted to attend, so I had the 'in'.
Then I started doing late-teenage things with the wrong fellow teenagers, got expelled from school middle of my junior year, had to wait to come back for my senior year and had no time for band or music, I had to struggle to get enough credits to graduate on time. I've never played a note since...then a month later 9/11 happened.
What could have been, how my life would be different, probably better, had I been able to just have 2nd period open that senior year and kept playing haunts me still to right now, 20 years later.
