    Basic literacy isn't falling apart, look at how prevalent text is in social media. As Thomas Sowell put it: "The problem isn't that Johnny can't read. The problem isn't even that Johnny can't think. The problem is that Johnny doesn't know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling."

      No: Literacy is falling apart.
      If you have adults that are struggling to comprehend at what was a grade 10 level, and you have kids who struggle to put a sentence together by the time they are in grade 4/5, there is a serious problem.
      I never thought of myself as a reader but - sometime ago... I realized: I dig into white papers... for fun? Interest? curiosity?
      Critical thinking skills - that is a whole other problem, and it is related. Basic literacy is foundational to organizing complex nuanced thoughts - our minds don't hold onto a pile of data in active memory, and so what you need is a system of correlating and forming relations between idea's into a complex singular idea that can be held and processed along other data. The better you are at doing this, the more abstract of a problem you can handle and deal with.

      Yup. Absolutely. No creators owe allegiance to Google. They just want that ad revenue.
      Just like how hackers and programmers slowly fight each other, the free market will decide what happens.
      Personally, if Honey/pie became a behemoth - what’s the problem? It’s ok if GOOGLE is a behemoth? lol No. they just want that ad revenue.
      The internet was way better before it became the primary ad medium.
      I’m all for Google losing footing in the race, and I could care less if creators actually get real jobs.
      Everything that honey does is already available without the drama.
      Brave browser blocks all TH-cam ads. SponsorBlock plugin blocks all baked in creator ads. Twitch Adblock extensions are a thing, and there’s crypto currencies that pay to watch ads.
      And for the tech savvy, creating and installing a PiHole on their home network blocks ALL other ads - on every device connected.

      TH-cam went from 25 million in 2006, to approximately 2 billion videos in 2010 and then 14 billion videos in 2023.
      I suppose you could say that the shift between 2010 and 2023 was because people were able to make a career out of it; however, looking at the sheer scale between 2006 and 2010... TH-cam would have absolutely been shut down without some source of funding.

      Web developers tend to embed TH-cam videos onto their websites, not because it's hard to host it on your own, but because it's expensive.
      Or look at videos where streamers check how much their stream would cost if they rent the "streaming service" from aws, it's often thousands per hour. Yes, hosting live streams is more expensive, but that puts things into perspective.

I hardly go online shopping enough to justify or even care about getting something like honey. maybe i'd've fallen for it if i shopped more, or maybe I just immediately saw it as just something to ignore and blocked it out too quickly to spot any red flags. either way, i dodged one HELL of a bullet lmfao

      The only problem with Honey was that it screwed over creators and hid better deals. If the consumer still got the discount the consumer doesn't care.

It's just one of those "too good to be true" moments, with the added fact that it is being run by people who have made an already-known scam, is what makes people skeptical.

    I can understand donation supported, indie ad-blockers who give you a service for free and only require enough money to keep afloat. I can NOT understand a for-profit company which *gives you money* for *shutting down ads.* They're obvious not doing this out of kindness since they're *for profit.* So there has to be something *really* nefarious under the hood for them to get enough money to stay afloat, enough money to supposedly pay *you* _and_ enough money to keep a company profitable. And chances are, they're not going to milk the multi-billion dollar companies or even content creators because that comes with _complications._ So what's left is the actual user.

      TH-cam wins because they pay out less.
      Now this does feel like short-term gains because, TH-cam (google) gets add money from investors and so if less is being doled out, less goes around. But short-term gain over the next few quarters will look high, and investors will like it.

    Funny enough since the chrome update that broke ublock the first video I saw after seeing that video exposing honey was literally an ad for PIE.

    What are you talking about that YT wouldn't be around without ads? It was at its peak at the beginning when it didn't have ads. Then the censorship came in with the ads.

    I always find it weird that TH-cam is trying to get rid of Adblocker, however they still play ads from PIE

    I love when Asmon does the 'you're not going to stop watching' as I watch from TH-cam instead of twitch specifically because of their insane amount of ads.

    1:33 Why Honey is bad for the end user:
    It gives you a carefully preselected roster of coupon codes, almost never being the best deals. This is to *trick you* into not searching for better deals.
    This effectively allows the companies that partner with Honey to corral consumers into cherry picked sales, while hiding better deals
