There were backups!

Unfortunately, they were located three rows and two racks down from their source.

In their defense, they clearly never thought the building would burn down.

And let's be fair to them, who's even heard of lithium batteries catching fire?

This was a once in a millennia accident, something you can't anticipate, and therefore can't plan for.

Unless you're talking about off-site backups. Then maybe they could have planned for that.

But who am I to judge?

I have no idea what you're going on about.

It's not a matter of betrayal, it was a video revealing another area of influence in society that is now controlled behind the scenes by private equity.

Whose work was I shitting on? I was shaming people who were down voting that very well sourced and informative video, that documented private equity's quiet takeover of major YouTube channels.

Maybe you should review the comment thread and see if you meant to respond to someone else, because that's the most charitable explanation I can come up with for your responses to me.

I didn't single out any particular YouTube channel for individual scorn. My comment was in reference to that very well sourced video about private equity buying up / investing many YouTube channels, of which they provided sources for in the description of the video.

The video which made the accusations, not me, provided sources for all of the claims.

Did you even look?

Sorry, that was rhetorical, obviously you did not look.

Anyone down voting this should be ashamed of themselves.

Like deeply and personally ashamed.

The type of shame that follows them for the rest their lives, because that's how scummy you'd have to be in order downvote someone shining a light on how private equity is buying out major YouTube channels.

Something that I was entirely unaware of, and appreciate your comment regarding.

Google stopped pretending and went full evil a while ago.

Apple still pretends to be a "good" corporation that guards its users privacy and protects them from government overreach.

"The Democrats didn't fail us. We failed them"

They're saying that they serve the same masters, not that they take the same approach.

I think we can all appreciate that while the Democrats are objectively better than Trump, that doesn't wash away their sins and own systemic rot.

It is important to remember that while they may be short-term allies of necessity, they are not good and they will never serve your interests if that conflicts with the interests of the donor class.

Just started watching this.

Haven't quite finished S01E01 yet, but I was hooked even before I even saw Killer Mike rocking an eye patch that matched his tacky ass oversized shirt.

Call me when any future Democratic AG's do anything to prosecute any of this.

I'll be holding my breath.

Is this what fedposting looks like?

The epitome of limousine liberal.

Completely owned by Big tech and VC.

Everything he's doing now is for his presidential run, but that doesn't mean there's no value to any of it.

At this point, we'll take what I can get, and he knows that.
