While I'm in favour of limiting social media for kids, there doesn't seem to be a right way to do it unless this system doesn't store identification data, just confirms their age and deletes everything.

I'm gonna use this for when I gotta pretend I'm on my phone in public.

This is one of those moments where, thanks to the internet, you catch a glimpse of another persons world. It gives some perspective.

I think they should even venture a bit more into the ocean, maybe observe some historical submerged ships from up close.

Just my 2c as a layman:

This makes sense in my head, if there's an incredibly small cost to watching someone (which would add up if that someone thousands of views) and the experience doesn't revolve constantly around trying making me constantly want to consume something else.

The only solution to have less people drinking alcohol so that there is less money to be made selling alcohol.

The best way to have less people drinking alcohol is probably to make it illegal to use and buy alcohol.

Honestly, while it is kinda sad it's the reality: it has great marketing potential (although it's a concept I inherently despise, it's giving me a job atm).

Without knowing the operating costs your sentence really makes no sense, this single number doesn't matter, what matters is its relation to the operating costs.

New comment by hn666 in "MrBeast has become a viral sensation for his acts of altruism"

That last sentence is just not true, I think it's okay to deeply respect someone with a BUSINESS MODEL (because it is what it is) that's based on helping others for views. Let's say he stopped doing it and just worked a shitty job and gave all his money, being then a true altruist, the impact he'd have on the lifes of people would be far lower than the one he's having now.

Yes the media overhypes his actions as some sort of altruism god, as they do with everything, but that doesn't take away that he came up with a model that feeds on helping people, and that alone deserves my respect.

I feel like they gloss a bit over the man... How did he approach the problem would've been interesting to see, for example.

Also the fact that the change of pace helps in general, you can turn his anecdote around and it still sounds plausible (worked in the office for 5y and started to get slightly depressed, really appreciated starting WFH once it came, etc).

I think what you're describing speaks more to Apple's marketing prowess than whether AirPods are overpriced or not.
