  1. These two YouTubers combined give me the feeling I am witnessing history being made. The real history is being made by the people in the war zone, but here we get the reports from the human perspective.

  2.  @julianmorrisco  spot on!~ I am in my forties. When I was a kid in the 80s , America was still the promised land, from books , movies etc. I am from a wealthy EU country but the USA was leagues ahead of us. When I was a young adult I travelled a lot and I saw america, it was still nice, but I already saw the cracks forming. This was in the Bush jr. era. Nowadays I consider the USA a dump, sure it has nice parts, for the rich, but huge parts are in disrepair. I wouldn't want to live there if they tripled my current salary..... I'd rather stay here, with less money but far better living conditions and better culture. Wait, I forgot to include guns and MAGA idiots. I wouldn't go there if they paid me millions.

  5.  @falloutking2819  I am happy that things are ok for you, and I didn't say the USA has no middle class, I just say that I would not want to BE american middle class (even if that would mean I have more money than I have now) , as the country in general is very unappealing for somebody who is living in a better country in the EU. (as in quality of life better, not financial, but I guess I have said that 3 times now)

  7.  @Tethloach1  the internet was great when it was only used by business people and students ( aka nerds) , when it reached the dumb masses, it went downhill

  8. And our petrol prices are also back to last year's level, after a huge peak in summer, it's getting cheaper every week ( I don't know why)

  9. Viewer from the Netherlands, adult, full time employed, no kids So far the war has cost me about €500 or ($500) in increased costs of living, all things considered. That's like one month of savings. I don't even feel it. I have never in the past 10 months experienced the slightest inconvenience in my life. NOTHING at all. In December, I always get an extra month of pay, which I will donate this year to some charities, some for the war and some for other projects locally, for people who need it more. And I can still make a holiday trip for myself as well, Russians are batshit crazy

  10.  @uranusneptun5239  but that is just laziness from yt... they can just select ads from companies that don;t mind the content. i am sure there are markets that are very interested in the demographics of the viewers of these channels..

  12.  @eucmike  I wish that was true, but it's very hard to compete with the top dog. Windows had been crap for a decade, yet it is still by far the dominant OS

  13.  @2112jonr  yes, i can program a video play website myself in a month.... As you say it's not hard. But you forget the most important thing: Selling it! Attracting advertisers that pay billions is what makes youtube dominant . We could make a website that is 5 times better, but how are we paying the content creators? You need a massive audience, to attract advertisers, to get money, to attract content creators, to get a massive audience.... the only point in history where you don;t need all that, is at the very beginning, when everything started with nothing, and your site could grow organically . For the same reason you cannot say: amazon sucks, I'll make a better webshop.....

  16. well, he does seem to share some real data as well, in his rants against the kremlin. so it;s not only lies, sometimes something useful can be distracted

  18.  @arthursmith6854  tbf, still being a republican in 2023 is also embarrassing. your party doesn't exist anymore it has been hijacked by fascists. Switch to independent until this is over, and I hope (for you) a new respectable conservative party can rise from the ashes.

  19.  @jimatperfromix2759  it's even worse than I feared.. Trump is a criminal, a sex offender and a fraud, and you keep voting for such a evil moron, because you are brainwashed somehow that the democrats ruined the country? most of the damage was being done under Reagan, Bush jr and sr. and Trump. Democrats are not saints, I immediately believe you if you say they also have many flaws, but they are the lesser evil here. You have it completely backwards, I AM one of those EU visitors who is afraid to visit the USA and IF I decide to come, I will go to Democrat dominated states ONLY, avoiding any republican areas like the plague... (which I think they are, they are a plague)

  22.  @Highlyskeptical  it was not that hard, the big car manufacturers of the world (Toyota, GM, Mercedes, VW, Ford etc didn't really have an incentive to make electric cars, so the first serious newcomer (Tesla) could do well and beat them in a short time. in the long run, things don;t look so good for Tesla though, once the sleeping giants have woken up.
