If you have to explain the joke, it probably wasn’t worth making.

Why the fuck is a landlord in charge of people’s lunches?

If you don’t use YouTube, you’re also screwing over the content creators you enjoy. You can cause harm to a company in many ways. Stop using a site prevents them from making money off of you. Preventing them from actively making money off of you while you’re still using the site actively takes money away from them. It is double sided sword because you’re also not actively supporting that content creator. However, if they don’t have another platform to post on, you can instead buy merch, donate, or simply help the algorithm boost their content by watching their content.

I don’t disagree with you. YouTube should no longer be a viable business. Something else should step in and rival them. But since that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen, I’ll be happy running adblocks, and letting them not recoup their server and operation costs from me.

We don’t actually promote higher levels of dopamine as far as I know. Dopamine agonists work by mimicing what dopamine does to your nervous system. It doesn’t actually produce any more. Also you can be given dopamine intravenously. It is mostly used to raise blood pressure in newborns. But you are right. For other uses, its smarter to mimic it, because of how short it lasts.

We do, however, promote a higher concentration of serotonin with SSRIs. We do that by blocking natural inhibitors that destroy serotonin after being used. This way we can use them more before they die off.

I want to make it entirely clear that I agree with you. I just want to bring this up for insight and perhaps understanding.

Reddit has a pretty bad incel problem. Incels are very similar to online Nazis. Out in the open they try to speak in code and find other incels, and in their own communities they get nasty and start being vile. Now this isn’t always the case, and incels are much more brazen than nazis, but the premise is similar.

Once is want to find other incels. And they do so by using dog whistles. One of which is ‘females’. Of course this is a common word and its ridiculous to just ban anyone using this word. This mod went way overboard. But if you’ve been around enough of these ‘quiet’ toxic groups and had to mod, you might have acted rash as well.
