Re GMail: goes without saying. I haven't logged in to their web UI in ages, using only an IMAP client which downloads everything to disk. In fact, multiple IMAP clients on multiple machines downloading to multiple disks. They can still lock you out of receiving new mail, though.

Not quite. There is a sh*tload of mis-information floating around on the internet. Up to the point where vaccinations which haven proven themselves for decades are being questioned and people let their children die unnecessarily because people fall for the mis-information. The 2010's probably go into the history books as the 'internet FUD years'. It used to be the task of the impartial journalists to seperate facts from fiction and that void needs to be filled again.

You are right but you are wrong too ;)
The truth is that people really are not what they used to be. Maybe it's not autism and maybe it's not because of vaccines, fluorides or 5G, but it is here. People are becoming increasingly passive losers and wimps, and moreover they want everyone to join in their wimphood because they are genuinely scared of anyone who isn't a wimp yet :scared:
There is no impartial journalism. Journalism had been taken over by nerds and is wielded as a weapon in their great crusade against anything they consider bullying, it's been that way for a long time. Power corrupts and you want the institutions of science and journalism to have power; it seems your wish had been granted, in full.

Which institutes of science and journalism have power nowadays? Journalism has been declining for decades and science never had much to say to begin with. If only science and journalism had a bigger effect on what people would perceive as what is true amidst all the nonsense.

I can remember the day when scientists like Carl Sagan had huge influence.
Now people like Neil Tyson et.al are drowned out in the sea of information overload.

Creators on y/t are told they are not monetised. So they get paid via crypto. Y/t not getting a slice. Tantrum. Accounts deleted.

youtube is not getting a slice of patreon money or sponsored videos either..

I suspect Youtube just doesn't want to be seen as part of the many scams with crypto, and they don't want to sort between good and bad because it could easily be seen as endorsement
