There are a lot of video essays on YouTube because that's what YouTube's policies encourage.

  • you can run more ads on long videos

  • low production value means essays can be produced regularly

  • one person can make them alone

  • they can be about popular topics without worrying about copyright (ideally)

  • other platforms are unlikely to steal these videos because they're long, niche, and focused on a personality

    • and even if they do get stolen they serve as advertisements for the channel

Having said all that, I wouldn't point to video essays as a failure of capitalism. Try writing an essay yourself sometime, one that's worth reading. It's difficult work.

For tables, you can make things easier for yourself by using only one hyphen in the delimiter. The lines at the start and end of each row are unnecessary too. Like this:

header 1|header 2|header 3
|-|-|-|
info|data|thing
stuff||entry
header 1 header 2 header 3
info data thing
stuff entry

Also, you can leave squares blank.

It's literally a social credit app used to pick who's worthy of housing. But it's not the government doing it, so it's ok 🦅

Yeah you'll dry out your hair if you shampoo that much. Then you'll have to condition it often to keep it good. Same deal with thorough soaping -> using lots of lotion.

I wonder how many people are actually scrubbing themselves raw everyday.

The water temple is the only one that I didn't need a walkthrough on. I dunno what kind of person can't finish the water temple but can make it through the rest of the game.

The US already did that with Afghanistan didn't they? The US froze their central bank reserves and then chose how to spend it for them.

Are you talking about the lawsuit over voting fraud? Fox didn't win that suit, they settled it out of court after it looked like they were gonna lose. The case is Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News Network if you wanna look it up

That's true, what we need more these days is a word for schoolchildren blasting their classmates or fascists shooting up a church

They're MOTHER 3 goons that work for the main villain. They're cops dressed like stormtrooper pigs and that's all there is to them really.

That's why student loans are never gonna be forgiven - it's their method of trapping people in the country. There's no doubt that brain drain would be drastically higher if college grads could afford to leave
