    But they suck.

    1. The usb plug is usually at the botttom so if you are holding a phone or tablet in your lap the wire is in the way.
    2. usb headphones sometimes stop working if the phone or tablet goes to sleep so you have to unplug and replug them
    3. you cant charge while using the headphones
    4. youre missing out on the thousands of standard headphones that have been produced for decades









  • There’s a documentary “King Corn” that talks about how US government subsidies to farmers for growing corn have made it so inexpensive that it creates a surplus and prices that are too low relative to other foods. This resulted in the proliferation of corn being fed to cattle and other animals, which makes them less healthy to eat but fattens them for slaughter sooner. Also corn syrup is so cheap to make it made soft drinks less expensive. These are large reasons why fast food was so inexpensive and so bad for you. Also surplus corn and corn syrup led to the creation of a lot of unhealthy breakfast cereals which are marketed to kids.

    I started using nebula which costs $30/year (discounted price, easy to get). It has some of the YouTube creators, shares revenue with them, has no ads, and isn’t google.

    Sure it has a fraction of the YouTube content, but there’s more new stuff there every day than I could watch. And it isn’t toxic like YouTube.
