The issue is you are thinking too narrowly by only looking at payments per view, ad, etc. Influencers don't care so much about that so much as the value of views as a metric. They don't get paid by the platform, they get payed by

That's already how it is among the SC2 twitch streamer community (and no doubt true for BW and other games with small but dedicated audiences). Mid-tier streamers get the majority of their money from direct donations (which display a n

The idea that people who are healthy, secure, and mentally resilient don't tend to have crippling addictions is not terribly controversial. If a user is peddling it as scientific fact without any sources to back it up that is one thing

Weird that the author lays anxiety about nuclear power at the feet of millennials and zoomers.. in my experience a lot of young people are apathetic or supportive of nuclear, it's the boomers who are still stuck in the fear-mongering f

One terrifying prospect of this idea of using molecular machinery to produce any protein is we could inadvertently fuck up and end up producing prions. Not that it's not a super cool idea worth exploring, but still, this stuff is mind-

It is also a great book. The Cohen brothers adapted it masterfully, as they tend to do (see also: True Grit and Oh Brother Where Art Thou). Overall it's extremely similar to the movie, but it's a short read so well worth it if you

Heck yeah, evolution is mind-blowing sometimes. Ok, most of the time. However, as a layperson, I often find that things aren't so random and almost unbelievable as they seem at first glance when you start having more context and pieces
