  • I thought the reveal was well played out, the biggest issue I had with it was Rudeus's lack of emotional response. I mean it wouldn't kill the guy to tear up over finally reuniting his long lost friend and first love (despite the fact that she was in disguise for a while).

  • Not sure where you live, but millennials and Gen z generally have more liberal views than conservative ones in the US, as far as I'm aware. Here's a couple links to Pew Research Center, first is a number of statistics regarding political stances between generations (doesn't include gen z) and the second is specifically about how Gen Z compares to older generations in political stances.

  • Which is completely fair. It's not consistent for me either; most of the times the download just works, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it does but takes a little while (specifically for larger downloads) except Firefox doesn't actually tell me it's in progress and cancels the download if I leave the app. It's all around very confusing.

  • Probably the latter. There's tons of logistical issues with trying to compete against YouTube, even without considering its monopoly; mainly, storing and hosting all that data requires enormous servers, and along with that is the cost of doing so. Then there's moderation issues; checking each video as it comes in to make sure it's not violating copyright laws or otherwise infringing terms of use, etc. Plus having enough staff to maintenance the servers and provide moderation. YouTube is already struggling with all of these, despite how enormous Google is; if I remember right, they actually lose money keeping YouTube both afloat and free.

    If YouTube shut down today I'm sure someone would eventually try to create an alternative and might even succeed (provided they have enough resources), but right now since someone else (Google) is already taking on that ludicrously insane job, I doubt there will be any form of viable or worthwhile alternative.

    Then again, I'm not an expert on the subject lol.
