Watch veritasium videos, they are well researched and informative. I have sponsor block and ad block so I don't get annoyed
Veritasium is not super high on my trustworthiness list after the self-driving car ad incident
I prefer to read books. Thanks. By the way, the fact that you need adblocker an sponsorblock to enjoy a few videos speaks volumes.
You also need to buy books, or borrow them from someone else who did. YouTube videos are free usually.
There's nothing free in this world. You're paying with your attention and at least metadata, independently on how many blockers you may use.
Yes exactly. They provide a service, you pay for it by watching ads and facilitating personalised advertising.
In comparison, some of the books I’ve bought have cost more per book than a month of YouTube premium, so the value isn’t THAT bad on YouTube.
Only if you don't value your time.
But with those two things I have a good time
