That is an insane change
since like 90-95% of people who click on a video click off within 5 seconds
I assume it still checks for real versus fake traffic
removing that would be even more insane
Even if it's just to inflate views, I hope they still track "start playing a video and immediately click away" as a negative indicator

Nice, I actually suspect the pricing won't be that bad on these, even though I'm sure some people are expecting them to overcharge because "RAM"

If your child came to you and asked for you to sign his permission slip to have a legal harem (Canadian First Nations loophole) would you sign it?

10 votes Poll closed
I would not extort my kid, I would question them on what girls/men the child wanted so badly that they needed a harem for
I was going to put the polu answer in of No, I don't want to have a comically large family
but then I figured I'd need to specify what the other No was in reference to
I think this is a poll that will be funny to see if anyone votes differently from consensus
Some eskimo tribe allows polygamy
and I think the gay marriage stuff set back polygamy irronically
because the push for legal marriage to be 1:1 religious marriage has broken the whole concept
I think alt timeline where the mormons were pushing for opening up marriage laws more to allow what they want, we would have gotten gay marriage anyways
we being the US
rest of the world would have still done gay marriage probably
I hate the 2000s era talking point, but honestly legal "marriage" makes no sense other than it being useful in divorce proceedings
the original gay marriage concession of any 2+ people being able to set up a "union" which bound them together and would provide them all joint legal right over their shared assets
is way more clear than tying it to marriage, a concept of religion for most people, and if not than at least a strong moral/social construct
It's the same thing people are doing now anyway, I feel like everyone earning above minimum wage sets up a personal LLC to manage their assets at this point, which tends to envelope their family anyway
I do not think everyone earning above minimum wage sets up a personal LLC spooky
I would suspect, in fact, that only a minority of people do that
if you have more than a $100k net worth, you should be
