  • It may not be what that person meant, but, I kinda agree it might be a factor. The free experience has done nothing but become more and more terrible on youtube. The ads have become truly insufferable, and the UI is actively working against you. TV app in particular is borderline unwatchable.

    I have always watched YouTube for free, and I am at a point where I am considering ditching the thing completely, because I am not paying another (quite expensive) subscription for it. I haven’t yet, but it has certainly slowed down how much I watch.

    It’s so bad it’s even questioning some uses I had for the platform. I used to watch a video while I eat, stuff like that. What’s the point if I barely make it out of the initial ad tunnel just before dessert? And when I pause for just a minute to get something, I am immediately hit with another ad break as I resume?

    I’m not even sure I get the point this comic is trying to make.

    It sounds vaguely like an impossible standards kind of thing, except, well, having a job, any job, is kind of a reasonable expectation. And if it’s specifically a commentary about standards held by women, since the only context clue we have on who these are is “Ladies”… it sounds like incel-ish complaining.



  • Freud was definitely influential, and definitely full of shit, so that tracks. Psychoanalysis is completely empirical, written as an unattackable dogma rather than science, and has been proven without any beneficial effect as a treatment on most psychological troubles. But because Freud was so influential, especially in France, almost all French psych universities are teaching his bullshit first and almost exclusively.

    Also, the amount of shit he’s written leads to modern day psychoanalysts with absolute horrors of diagnoses like “it’s that kid’s mother’s fault that they have autism, because she loves them wrong”.
