 To whoever thinks that people lean more to the political right as they get older: Im over 50 and bust my butt at work for $3/hr over minimum wage, where even if I worked full time hours (not often scheduled), I couldn’t afford the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in my city, let alone eating or paying any other bills.

If anything, I’m seeing the downside of capitalism better as I age and thinking that our union isn’t doing enough.

 @feld Be nice if people started posting material elsewhere instead, or at least as well.

Like, yes, of course YouTube is the go-to for most people, whether looking for content or creating it.

But what if they posted the same content elsewhere as well? A tiny extra bit of time taken would mean that a) your stuff would for sure be seen by people actively avoiding YouTube, and by people who are using ad blockers and don’t want to cave to Google’s pressure tactics.

Seems win-win.
