How do we determine that limit ?

Most Americans ( middle class and above ) are richer than most people in the world.

Way richer than most people in Africa or poorer parts of Asia can ever aspire to be.

Consider that when competing for resources these poor people are competing with wealthy middle class Americans.

Add to that the USD being world's reserve currency makes life easy for a small part of global population earning in the USA and makes it harder for people in every other country whose currency might not be competitive compared to the USD.

It's possible. Done in 4.

Bounce it off the left wall in your first shot and you can land close to the end of the course.

One day I decided to start being more 'social online'.

Head to X. I was unable to log in with my password. No error. Just redirected me back to the log in screen.

I tried password reset. It asked me my last login date.

I couldn't be sure. Still mentioned a possible date.

I added that this is the same email listed on the X/Twitter account.

You can just send me a password reset mail to this email.

They rejected. Tried that a couple of times, then stopped.

Started an account on Threads. Quite fun, less crowded and almost no politics on my feed.

----

I decided to create my Blog and write content there.

Will probably create other accounts to post my blog posts to the socials.

But I am not giving a platform the power to cut me out of my account.

Videos can be an issue.

Youtube is still the only decent host for Video content.

Google Search OTOH has been using broad matched queries and is deciding which keywords to show your Ads.

I heard from many people that they don't like this approach of Google Search Ads now. As they are blowing up more money for useless keywords they didn't want to target. The only option they have is to add negative keywords - that mostly happens after the money is spent on junk keywords.

Ads need to be clearly marked as per FTC.

> According to guidelines from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the U.S. and similar regulatory bodies worldwide, online advertisements—including sponsored content, native advertising, and influencer posts—must be readily identifiable as paid content to prevent deceiving consumers.

I hope this was intended as humor.

So paying for a service alone doesn't ensure that you are not going to see Ads.

Once they have exhausted their potential market of paying users, almost every service will eventually resort to Ads.

But the only revenue model that they still can come up with is Ads.

For all the advancement we have made in technology from the 90s web, social networks, mobile apps, ,AI Chat bots - the business model that almost all of them will eventually resort to is Ads.

We need some new breakthroughs in monetization side of things.
