In the majority of people’s eyes crypto is seen as a scam and something to avoid. The only thing crypto ever did for me was make things I actually care about more expensive.

I think it would take a lot to recover from the bad reputation it has gotten.

Who would have though that being told from a young age that you’re sick and disgusting for being attracted to different people than them would lead to mental health issues. Sadly I know people who would see articles such as this to confirm their beliefs, “They do drugs and are depressed because they know what they’re doing is wrong”.

While my country has definitely gone a long way towards being inclusive and accepting theres still a lot of hate behind closed door or in blue collar jobs, mostly from the older generations.

Not an American, and while I do think it’s wrong and a breach of privacy rights, I’m hardly surprised.

Just got back into reading after not doing it for a few years. Right now it’s on an app (moon reader) on my phone. Mainly because I downloaded 20 000 leagues under the sea on project Gutenberg. Found myself reading a lot during slow moments at work. Otherwise I prefer to read a physical book before bed or on the balcony.

No idea how accurate this report is. Either way people online tend to be a vocal minority. The vast majority of people using Netflix either aren’t on Reddit or other discussion forums, or are simply lurkers who never comment. I find that people that do comment tend to be doom and gloom when it comes to these sort of things. That applies to me too, as I certainly won’t buy Netflix due to their content.

But Netflix is large enough that it will probably be fine for quite some time. Even so I do think streaming is declining rapidly due to too many services and studies have shown that people do pirate more when accessing content becomes tedious. It’s all a matter of comfort.
