From the Medium article: Someone or something or some combination of people and things is using YouTube to systematically frighten, traumatise, and abuse children, automatically and at scale... Um... hell of a claim, a giant list of video

There's an inmate in LA County jail who has been there 9 years awaiting trial on attempted murder. He is completely and totally institutionalized. A very nice guy but intimidating. If he didn't go in a killer, he sure as hell sh

There is no reason to believe that the universe has a meaningful end, but it appears to have had some kind of origin less than 15 blya. Even if you posit proton decay and use heat death as and endpoint, you’re still talking about many more

As opposed to attempts to make money, start wars (see “make money”), promulgate an ideology, win political points, gain power over a populace (Patriot Act), and just plain fear?

I don’t know, but that family would be upending the fabric of society, and I would guess while possible, it would be risky. See: Caesar

Games like Destiny, For Honor, that kind of game, are just pure money grabs. You get early beta quality releases with the full price game ending up being north of $160 even before whichever flavor of micro transactions are in that day. Curr
