Revenue doesn't equal profit but many companies are using multiple schemes to show that they are not profitable. So we also need to check the revenue. A company can just increase the CEO salary to eat up all the profit.

Some US friends are sharing with me their library cards and it is great. I use them few times a year but you get access to many content. It is just a a shame I can't access CD Or DVD online.

Doesn't that causes issues with sites using Cloudflare anti bot protection? But maybe my add-on was sending a different one for each request. I am using User Agent Switcher. I disabled it and only enable it on YouTube.

Yes it happening but it is in the experiment phase so few users are seeing that.

I don't have issues too but Google is expirementing things like server side ads injection that will be hard to circumvent.

YouTube is cracking down Adblocker and they may never work in a year or so.

I don't watch YouTube that much and most of the time I watch the same thing. So I am thinking of mirroring the videos I watch to other platforms. But I don't know which. I was just thinking of ok.ru. I don't know if they respond to DMCA requests.

Did anyone do something similar?

Like the US will shut down a multi billion industry.

It is not that difficult as other directors do it well. I see that in Japanese shows. It is OK if actors pretend to eat or drink when it is believable. In many episodes of Seinfeld we see the actors drinking coffee but we can clearly see that they weren't taking a sip.

For it is :

  • Preparing a huge breakfast and then they take a bit and they say I need to go
  • People drinking coffee or other drinks but you see clearly that they don't, why film that ?
  • Turing the wheel of the car like crazy when they on a straight road.
  • Wearing shoes inside the house even when they are about to go to sleep.

A good example for this is Tommy Wiseau (there are a dozen like him). He is dumb and did a bad movie. But he had the money to keep filming and the crew stayed because they need their paycheck. He thrown a huge amount in aggressive advertising. Years later he is making money without doing anything.

I find myself switching to Yandex when both Bing nor Google give good results.

Hi,

I will certainly buy a new android phone in the next month and I will need help choosing which one.

My requirements : has support from LineagesOs, ability to root, good battery, NFC and Google Pay should work even after root, camera should be at least OK, price under 200€ (or even 150€). I have seen devices in that range that satisfy almost all the requirements.

My current phone is Mi Mix 2 from 2019 and still usable but battery drain in one day even though I don't use it that much. I changed battery recently but nothing changed so I am always carrying an external battery. So a similar phone with bigger battery and good camera can be a good candidate. I always bought Xiaomi devices and I don't know how are the other brands.
