GreenManGaming is a legitimate reseller, in a similar fashion to humble bundle or similar sellers.

I also do not like them because their keys if you are buying on sale for a new launch, their keys are usually UK based as they are UK based and they will not let you play on sooner launch dates, as I learned with Mirrors Edge Catalyst's release when I wanted to play on day 1 and should have bought direct through origin, but instead now I had to wait a week, and they did not offer a refund policy.

So instead I bought the game again on origin and gave away the other key as a free giveaway to spite them ๐Ÿ˜‚

If it's a "trusted" source, as in a popular one, such as a certain link from a certain girl that is fit, yes.

Otherwise another option I've done for a while was buying cheap keys from greymarket type resellers, though for those I only did them from AAA publishers never putting their games on sale and on a second account (idea being you minimize risk and if something did turn out to be a stolen key, which was a problem for a while on those kinds of sites, a chargeback isn't going to hurt a AAA publisher as much as an honest small published in house indie dev team).

Honestly if it's a big setup like Spotify or Netflix or etc, "royalties" don't mean shit to the production team / artists / whoever. Unless they're Mariah Carey levels of replayed every year everywhere to the tune of sitting on millions in checks yearly, they aren't going to get shit. Personally I'd rather support them in other ways such as buying merchandise, going to live shows etc but that's just me.

Remember though this is in minecraft, don't pirate irl because that is very bad and you will personally prevent executives at warn-a-brother from buying another learjet. Remember: "pirating is bad and you should feel bad" ๐Ÿ˜‚

It's not a mobile client sadly, but for desktop I've always liked "4k video downloader" (Softonic). It's something you have to download on there, but I copy the youtube link, open the app have it parse the link and then it's downloaded and ready in .mp4 pretty quickly, with .mp3 as an option too for music.

It's a bit convoluted, but I'll usually download albums and tracks on my PC, have it all saved in a music folder then copy it manually to my phone.

That's what I would call a bubble. The same has been said for FAANG stocks because they are success stories, and I do think that TSLA and NVDA are large enough with enough assets that they aren't going belly under overnight.

That said, there were stock advisers, people with degrees and decades of work in early 2001 saying "Buy Enron!" Same goes for dot com stocks, same goes for cypto bros. I've made some pocket change off those two companies "mooning" their share values so I am definitely not complaining, but don't rely solely on those two to go "line go up" forever. When they did my decision was not to buy more, my decision was to very smartly sell off a small portion to "make my money back" per se, and now the rest is house money basically :)

This is why one of my "divestments" is non-cash valuable currency, items such as weapons / tool stockpiles, and training / knowledge. Seriously on that last one is so important if you have a day off learn how to use basic hand and power tools. Learn to cook something. Learn how basic gardening works. Take a CPR and Stop the bleed course, how to do basic electrical work, etc. You don't have to be professional at them but learn how to do them.

Best case scenario, you can be cheaper and look sexy knowing how to cook clean and repair. Worst case scenario, those are going to be worth more than Benjamins in a true SHTF scenario.
