This is exactly why I could never justify making a serious investment in YouTube, and also why I have stopped spending any time or resources on Twitter too.

It always felt like an impossible gamble. It’s like building a house in a hurricane zone that you KNOW cannot survive a hurricane, and that there is no way to insure. Life might be great, but eventually, and inevitably, a hurricane WILL come and you are just going to lose it all.

It is literally slavery if something you invested years of your life and tens of thousands of hours into can be taken from you by someone else arbitrarily, unilaterally, without recourse, without difficulty, and without even the mildest of concern from the person who can basically destroy your social existence and livelihood.

Everything is ultimately worthless if we don’t have freedom. nostr:note1u2qh3ns7ucnultwhd5h553psy404wn60jthadhgt7dfr934vs00qawypln
