I looked online for a critique of Youtube Premium. I wanted to see what almost $150 a year gets.
Imagine my surprise when there was no real difference in available content.

Oddly, I found more than one writeup along the lines of “why Youtube premium is worth every penny”. It reduced to convenience features like less ads and being able to play music with little maintenance. No important stuff like being able to binge Gilligan.

It sure does not sound like a value proposition to me, when I can’t even find old movie/tv content on the Tube. How long does it take for media copyrights to expire anyway? Like, Disney.
(add) how the pintail duck do they get a 95-year copyright?? Shidd ain right.

It ties into my earlier rant about free markets being anything but free.

I can't keep up with the content from my Telus satellite TV service which is my only option as we can't get cable here. Nor can we get internet over phone or optic cable so when a wireless service came along in 2012 we upgraded from dial-up then. I upgraded our wireless about a year ago but we still only get about 1meg download speed unless I want to get the business service for about twice as much and it's almost $100/mth now as is sat TV.

Lots of great content on many of the streaming services but not enough hours in my day to waste money on them. I donate monthly to PBS so I could get some DVDs I wanted and that was over a year ago and I haven't watched them yet. Gives me access to their streaming service called Pasport but I haven't watched anything on it as the same shows come with the sat TV service. Need to cancel that I think. It's $10/mth US but shows on my MC as $14Can. I do watch it a lot so may just lower my donation to $5US a month.

If I need to learn to do something like car repair I prefer a website with print and pictures for instruction or the Haynes manual I bought for my car than a video tho I have recorded a few things off Utube for later watching.

It can be tough to be an analog guy in a digital world. :)

Muck has too many fingers in too many pies, and is stepping in shit that can swallow him and his entire fortune whole...He's a retarded goldfish in a ocean full of real sharks, and is going to learn, sooner or later, that he is neither immortal or invulnerable.
IF i believed for one second that starlink's concerns were actually about morals or ethics, i still wouldn't like it, but it would be a valid argument....But I don't believe that, I believe that muck listens to the same fucking awful shit that most magats listen to, fox news, fucker carlson, alex motherfucker jones...and that he want's Ukraine to lose, because even financial idiot savants can drink the koolaid. He would withdraw from the deal entirely if he thought for one minute the government would let him do it, and not nationalize his shit on the spot.

Boycott TESLA and if you have one, sell.

I feel Musk is about to do something.

A tidbit.

Marketing firm chases Twitter for $7,000 Elon Musk gift box

This is just a sliver of the $400,000 allegedly owed for branded merch
www.theregister.com www.theregister.com

Why is he not paying his bills? The Dictatorial/Fascist Wing is so narcissistical in thinking that people just love doing business with them so much, that it's free?

Looks like Elon would sell out America or anybody out for a buck, so rich and yet so greedily desperate for more, attention and money. Maybe he should just lead a one-way trip to Jonestown on Mars.


What Elon Musk’s China ties mean for Tesla & Twitter... and how it could endanger the rest of us

Elon Musk calls himself a 'free speech absolutist,' but Mehdi says his "strange, almost fawning" approach to China exposes Musk's blatant hypocrisy, China’s potential influence on Tesla and Twitter, and why that’s a danger to all of us.

A free speech absolutist isn't filing transparency reports? It would seem to me that those would be important to a free speech absolutist, to verify that they are indeed what they say they are, and not incompetent idiot savants who are outside their realm of savantry...

Add that to not paying his bills.

I know! He's going to file for Bankruptcy!
