The worst part is, he isn't even American. Imagine if Americans would go into a foreign country and try to influence the elections... Oh wait.

The way it works here is you can use a normal bank card to pay directly of your checkings account balance, meaning if you have insufficient funds, the card gets declined. A credit (debit) card allows you to pay regardless of you checkings balance. But at the end of the month your negative credit balance must be covered by your checkings account. If it doesn't cover the whole sum, the debt interest kicks in. A true credit card is essentially the same, but instead of automatically balancing the credit, you have to manually transfer the money to the bank. The advantage being that you can use 2 different banks for credit and checking accounts.

At those time frames it's not just feature creep you have to worry about, but tech- and social creep as well. Think back what games were popular 12 years ago and what hardware we had. That's why usually in longterm, large scale projects you have a technological freeze, where you essentially ignore all progress made outside of your project for the sake of completion, which Star Citizen clearly hasn't done.

The problem is also how YouTube compartmentalizes the content. I like the Alveus Sactuary Channel, Maya Higa has probably one of the most noble causes for streaming. But because she's related to OTK, YouTube thinks it's fine to blast me with the full dose of their cringe drama. No amount of "not interested" or channel blocking is going to solve that, because there's always gonna be copycat clipper channel reposting the same twitch clips over and over.

It's funny how YouTube killed early short form animation channels (which was arguably peak YouTube content at the time) in favor for long form content, but then introduced Shorts. But those barely pay anything so people either rehash their 10+ minute video into 20 YT Shorts or spam AI generated garbage en masse. There's also apparently no copyright enforcement on those shorts, since you can essential watch the entirety of a 2.5 hrs movie in segmented shorts with shitty music layered on top.

I wish YouTube allowed for blacklisting words in video titles for your feed. I swear if I see another "*insert vtuber* broke everyone by saying *insert mildest sexual innuendo*" I'm gonna loose it. What also sucks is that YouTube shorts got entirely integrated into Twitch, so the clips you see posted of any streamer is most likely some 3rd party clipper channel leaching off the actual streamer. Which means spam goes up, quality goes down. Sure its awesome for the streamer, they get a lot of traction and new followers but at the cost of their content flooding other platforms through reposts.

You'd be surprised how often people between 25 and 35 use Spongebob references.

About the QR code, the code itself can't tell whether its being scanned or not. I assume the QR code is a URL to a website and the server sends you the notification. So if somebody scanned the QR code and opened the link in their browser but then closed their browser without closing the tab, each time they reopen the browser and the tab automatically refreshes it would seem like a new scan. Even if the URL itself is supposed to forward the user after the notification, some browsers screw up the forwarding process or open the forward address in a new tab, depending on the user settings.

I realy can't judge a person I don't know personally, but I sure is hell can judge their content. And for Asmonds videos and streams, there's just nothing there. There is literally zero content. You know those memes that imitate Joe Rogan, well here is one for Asmond.

"Yeah, Yeah"

"They way it is, is actually..." *blanket statement*

"Yeah, Uh Huh, No"

"Well actually..." *other blanket statement*

"What I would do is..." *some nonsense*

"Yeah, Yeah, Uh huh."

Continues to pause and unpause a 10 minute video over the course of an hour.

That's basically it, it's almost an anomaly how content like that can get somebody filthy rich. It ads zero value to the platform or any of the viewers lives. I can even excuse other creators doing their YLYL challange #547, because it at least involves humor and engagement. But if Asmond would disappear over night, I bet not only would nobody miss him, there wouldn't even be anybody to replace him, because his success is a straight up anomaly.

All these shitty reaction streamers are literally standing on the great shoulders of Filthy Frank, Jontron, early H3H3, early Idubbz, Cinemassacre, Ray William Johnson, etc. But those at least had weight behind their reactions, with bits and actual production behind every video. Those reaction streamers literally sit on their ass watch videos and somehow people pay them solely to hear their opinion, what a sad existence on both ends. To be frank, this is barely a step up of those YT shorts of a guy just staring into the camera while the top half of the screen shows some random video. I know YouTubes moto was "Broadcast Yourself" but some people really shouldn't take that to heart.
