  • My best friend recently told me :

    “Did you see the image of the original moon landing ? It looks so so fake”

    I was shocked. An engineer with supposedly a scientific background was starting to take on conspiracy theories.

    I just said that the moon landing was not fake and that it would have been impossible to fake something on this scale and that there was plenty of documentation about the Apollo mission online.

    But I feel sad because it’s obvious his social network interactions online are pushing him toward very toxic content.



  • What I’m not ok with YouTube premium :

    • The price is too high for a subscription. For that price I could get thousands of movies on a competing service like Netflix.

    • Even if you take YouTube premium they are still farming your data and selling it to third parties.

    So even if I watch a ton of YT I refuse to pay to sell my data.

    If I pay for YT they have to not track me and not sell my data (at least data coming from YT).

    So yeah taking YT is hassle free but is quite the scam if you think about it. Before paying you were the product. After paying you are still the product but on top of that you give them money.
