It's one thing to have an industry shift (which also sucks), but it's another thing to be colonised, have some of your islands bought and almost completely owned by rich folk, who can do whatever they fuck with them and having to feel like a tenant in your ancestors' lands.
There's one hell of a difference and I wouldn't be surprised if we eventually had an IRA situation there.
I mean, in this case I kind of understand it. Hawaii was essentially forced into being part of the US and then forced into being the holiday stop for rich people. I would also hate it if I lived in a small island with lots of tradition and it all was turned into a mere tourist attraction for people who don't give a shit.
It also doesn't help that some rich folk have ravaged the islands by literally buying them
Tbf, I simply didn't see it because I stopped reading halfway through. On the other hand, "tranny" is right at the beginning (and I think somewhere else too), and they seem to intentionally misgender Empress quite a few times, so they stick out quite a lot.
And as other people said, she was expected to output that much social media posts, but now they post the bare minimum. Maybe she was being asked too much after all.
Haha, I'd very much appreciate it myself if it were the case. I don't think you are losing anything if you try to do so.
It has worked so far because the videos used to be good and years ago Youtube wasn't as competitive. From then on, once you amass a decent amount of subscribers it's fairly easy to ride the wave. It is also worth mentioning that his videos are very obviously focused towards "casual" audiences, most of which won't even know when he is showing bad data or doing a poor review.
they call nVidia names all the time, and keep bashing its practices.
Sometimes? Maybe. But let's not pretend like they haven't been called out by the community multiple times for being "too soft" when Nvidia pullsed some shit, even when other reviewers did complain.
Aside from that, when people criticized the video because he was essentially bashing a small company made by 2 dudes^1 , he then went on a rant on a WAN show saying that he wouldn't review the thing again because he is not going to waste employee time and money into doing a proper review. And that he does't really care because, ultimately, he thinks it's a product that nobody should ever buy because it's too expensive, even if the performance was great.
All said by the dude that used to make the weirdest shit and pay a shit ton of money for garbage, but god forbid someone made a waterblock for water cooling enthusiasts (you know, the kind of person that likes spending money on these products just for funsies, like audiophiles).
Yeah. The problem is that the richest people have many loopholes to avoid paying taxes. Getting a minimal salary and then just taking loans against their assets is one of them.
Not OP, but basically:
He wanted to not be held accountable by a written warranty. It's all nice and cool when he acts nice and cool and gives you the replacements, but ultimately, what he wants is to sell you stuff that lacks an actual warranty, which can only have one reason: you want to be able to say "fuck you" to the customer when the time arrives.
If you trust the product so much and you want the community (and your customers) to trust you and pay you like 300€ or whatever the cost of that bag is (which is very expensive for a lot of people), you do the right thing, which is writing down a warranty and honoring it. If your intentions are good, there is no reason to not do so.
Despite how much I love traveling, tourism is a plague. At least when uncontrolled
With a few sparkles of deplorable work conditions on top, delicious!
