The fact that lots of little kids will watch videos of other kids playing with toys for hours on end I find totally unsurprising.
But the chief marketing officers for those antidepressant and nicotine gum paharma companies are going to be PISSED.

I’ll take my first $11 million any which way I can. I’ll work on deserving my second $11 million.

Thou hast chosen wisely, Oh Invisible Hand, we praise thee. The distribution of your gifts is just and shrewd, for truly what was needed in this world was an incentive for parents to pressure their younglings into hawking plastic shit on the internet. Blessed be thy name, amen.

Yeah, the whole narrative of the cute kid wanting just wanting to make videos is kinda undone by the title of the “breakthrough” video: “100+ cars toys GIANT EGG SURPRISE OPENING Disney Pixar Lightning McQueen kids video Ryan ToysReview”

Do people anywhere get money strictly because they deserve it, and in direct proportion to their level of deservingness? Pretty sure even kibbutzim don’t meet that standard.

Can’t watch it at work, but I will at home. Didn’t we learn just recently that the most popular restaurant in London doesn’t actually exist? Will we ever learn?

Do you ever get the feeling that the antics of the major religions and those that push their messianic politics are somewhat akin to watching pro-wrestling? That’s been going through my head, lately.

Well, I don’t watch pro wrestling, so I’m probably not the best one to answer.
