Honestly, trying to make a career out of Youtube/Twitch just seems miserable... Better to work for a place that actually gives you employee rights and job security.

Perhaps better to keep it as a hobby if they enjoy doing it. Means there's less pressure.

Also youtube was way more entertaining when it was just people sharing videos rather than trying to beat the algorithm to optimize monetary gains.

Turn off history. Once you turn off YouTube history you will stop getting fed by the algorithm. YouTube will become much more interesting again.

Though nowadays it's not as friendly towards doing that. It will literally not give you suggestions when you first open up. You have to randomly search a video or open up a video from a YouTuber you're subscribed to and then go from there. But the algorithm won't be able to pidgin hole you into a bunch of shit that is all samey and ultimately boring.

That's why I like Nebula. Wish it got a bit more traction and diversity of content, and a better app.

Someone braver than I should call the number and report back

Its missing a digit, it won't do anything

It's a valid 1800 number in Australia. But I am not there to call it.

Because its a standard north american 1-800 number, but they didn't add the 4th digit in the final grouping?

It was a joke

Edit: lmfao at the immediate downvote

Because somebody will always call it, you should always put a 1-900 number on the things you write, to make a few bucks on the side.

It amazes me that there's so fucking many influencers that are all about those stupid skin care products. Worse, how younger girls get in on the hype and fuck up their own skins

The street signs are telling them to stop multiple times but they just keep going
