  1. If you need a run-down on why I am so very much against venture capital/-ists/-ism and the stock market [as it stands today], this video by #TomNicholas is *it* in a nutshell, taking #Patreon as an example. youtu.be/mXyN3-gQwJw

    VC and stock-market gamblers are a plight and a cancer for any good idea and our society as a whole.
    Exponential growth in an organism is exactly that: cancer. And in finance, it is simply unsustainable long-term.

    Why is this so hard to understand for these wankers?

  2. Maybe The Business Powers That Be™️ (including the ilk of professional Tim Ferris-type professional d**kholes) don't mind the popularity of stupid & useless "get rich easy" schemes because it normalizes the same morally, ethically & legally dubious business culture they themselves are the only ones to actually benefit from...?

  3. I like to listen to long-form video essays on YouTube while I'm doing jobs around the house. But Christ Almighty, the frequency of the ads lately has made it all but unbearable, so I've been using Nebula. I've been subscribing to it for a couple of years. It's run by and for creators, and it really shows. Here's the story of how they got started.

  4. I like a lot of Nebula creators. If they had a Nebula instance they could benefit from sharing a consistent social platform and easy cross-discoverability. I was gonna just list a few but I just found all of them I regularly watch:
