Comment let me shine some light on this (Score 0) 50

I run the single largest youtube channel (just above 50k subs, 3000 vids) criticizing WOTC and Hasbro and their crappy decisions and also MTG content outside of their structures formats. What Hasbro does is acquire things that would have been a good idea 20-30 years ago, mismanage them, drive up debt, under perform any American company their size, cut giant checks to their board, and then rinse and repeat. Hasbro treats WOTC like a piggy bank and demands they keep doing worse and worse things to Magic the Gathering to keep making money. For example, wallet fatigue levels of product releases and directly competing with stores on Amazon to make like $70 a box instead of $50 to distributors. Oh and in the middle of COVID btw but starting right before it. SHOCKINGLY active player counts are down and stores are closing everywhere. So yeah, they aren't picking this up because it's a wise hands-off investment. They're going to monetize it to death, demanding more money to fund their failed projects like the G.I. Joe and Power Rangers acquisitions. Then they're going to throw in pervy, self-serving, hypocritical SJW lefty extremist crap into it, probably call Orcs black people again, and then kill it. Look up their history and Alta Fox's recent complaints with them if you don't believe me.

I don't know what kind of island paradise you live in but here in the rest of the world it gets cold at night and it's takes 7x the energy to heat a house (10F outside to 70F inside) than to air condition 80F to 70F. Also, please tell me you're kidding when you say power plants completely spin down and turn off during the night. Holy crap.

The high bandwidth, high frequency version goes like 1000 ft so just don't install it at the airport. Heck, just don't install it on the runway! Actually, put it anywhere. It can't penetrate aluminum. And the lower frequency stuff uses frequencies that are already in wide use by existing towers. So...how did they prove any of this in the real world? My guess is they didn't.

At this point, at least most intelligent people are thinking "Post the hard stats or shut up with the fear mongering." All I've heard is speculation and guesswork from amateurs since the WHO won't release provable, cited statistics on who this affects. Does it largely infect people who were vaccinates? What brand? How many doses? What about people who had COVID before? Which strain? How recently? What were their health and age demographics? Right now what I've gathered from most articles is:

Go get vaccinated so you can protect yourself from the unvaccinated that are infecting the vaccinated with this new strain that gets past vaccine immunity. Also, wear a mask anyway and...what? You want to know about people who already had COVID? Does it affect them? WHAT? WHAT? I can't hear you? lalalalalala? *puts fingers in ears* just go get another expensive vaccine to Pfizer can make more money. Maybe it works? Also, still wear a mask and cancel Christmas if you get vaccinated.

Comment I've been a youtuber for 9 years (Score 0, Interesting) 141

I've had 5 channels for 9 years now and made over 3000 videos. I'm not a fragile zoomer who cares if 5% of people didn't like my video. If I get disliked attacked by angry redditors I just hide the likes and dislikes. ANYONE can already do that! First of all, if people can't have their dislikes seen, they're just going to leave angry comments which is far worse. Also, nobody can see the dislikes with this new update EXCEPT THE CREATOR. So Youtube's stated "mental health" reason is a complete lie. What's really going on is every single CNN or white house or psychotic racist SJW video has 90% thumbs down because they're liars posting propaganda and the average US citizen is super done with that. So they're basically hiding public dislikes to hide the rejection by intelligent people of the fact that these 1% of fringe weirdos and perpetual liars trying to influence elections and push garbage Democrat propaganda like "inflation isn't happening" etc.

The #1 thing I perpetually let get to me is the watch time. No matter what I do, how short a video is, or how hard I try, it's a miracle if 80% of people are still watching after 15 seconds. I've convinced myself after comparing notes with other creators that it's just not being recorded correctly like it was accidental clicks or people just returning to the video to pause it and go to the comment section. They need to fix that though!!!!

You are correct to be skeptical. First of all "ghost guns" traditionally are 80% receivers that can be finished with high end gunsmithing equipment that nobody has. Secondly, it's 100% legal. Third, they're making a law against self-produced guns because felons who are breaking the law by owning weapons are making them. But they're already breaking 1 extremely strict law with severe legal consequences. No, this is more manufactured FUD nonsense to push litigation that takes your rights away.
