  • It’s not that seamless depending on the content you usually consume.

    I feel like I keep seeing the same single livestream trying to sell me a phone charger, and then roughly the same 5 or 6 videos trying to sell me a specific product over and over again.

    As long as I don’t report or say “I keep seeing this ad” it will show me the same ones so they are easy to skip.

    Usually it’s something I started watching until I realized it was an ad, but because I started watching it one time it thinks I’m interested so it will continually show it to me.

    Once you spot them they are easy to skip. (at least, until they get better at masking then and then it will get harder).








  • Uhhhh.

    https://www.google.com/search?q=what+percentage+of+homes+are+over+%241+million

    Apparently per Redfin 8.5% of homes in the US are 7 figures or more. We’re not talking the 1% here.

    In California the median home price is almost $800,000.

    I’m in a HCOL area in Washington State and regularly see 3bdrm and sometimes 2bdrm condos for over 1 million.

    Not to mention sure your home is equity or net worth but most people only buy one and sell it anytime they move. Many of these people also planned on selling it / downsizing in retirement and converting it towards their retirement fund.

    Remember that “afford” doesn’t mean they have a million dollars. “afford” means they saved up a down-payment and then paid interest and mortgage payments (sometimes barely scraping by) for at least 30 years. Usually many more years if they moved from smaller house or a condo to a larger house when they decided to have a family (thereby starting a new mortgage for another 30 years). Or worst case, they haven’t paid it off and now are underwater on their mortgage.

    The banks are the ones making crazy money on all this.
