It's the same for me. It's all about the commute. I don't know what the best solution is but going back to 2+ hours a day in a car on congested roads and highways isn't it. As much as I like my colleagues and current job

Let’s not kid ourselves, Netflix, Amazon, etc put out a ton of crap content too (e.g. Blippi). PBS Kids, KIKA, etc put out a lot of kids content on YouTube as well. Heck there’s a ton of great public media on YouTube in general. My subscrip

In the very broad sense, yes. Progress is not linear and civilizations ebb and flow. Even the Greeks had their own “dark ages” for example. Perhaps we are entering a down trend again (who knows?) but enlightened ages will spring forth again
