US Corporations: But we can't start paying people to do work! That would completely wreck our business model!

Workers: So you would actually be bankrupt? Your corporation is that much of an empty shell?

US Corporations: Well, we really just don't want to have to spend less time golfing, and having to pay people might eventually cut into golf funds and time.

YouTube is already a giant cost sink lmfao. It's basically the one decent thing they're keeping up still which is why they've been monetizing it as much as possible lately.

And I just canceled my YouTube premium family in favor of SmartTube and Spotify.

Somehow I'm yet to encounter a single ad in Spotify Free and I have no idea how or why.

But the downside is that I want to subscribe to CuriosityStream/Nebula and I can't find a referer link for the channels I like because they are all being skipped.
