"Placement" ie. on the timeline, friend. Not target.

People tend to be afraid of the unknown — generally agreed to be symptomatic of the awareness of one's own mortality (some, less consciously than others). And, as the saying goes, "necessity is the mother of invention". Our prehistoric forebears came up with their own reasons why otherwise inexplicable things happened, and how — the real lucky shamans landed a "when" here and there, no doubt....

But, where that galvanizing (and often innocuous) superstition gained straight up viral status was with the invention of gods. That's religion. That "inescapable" caste system for your "soul". Completely fabricated for the sole ^heh purpose of population control in every capacity.

Now, what is your so-called "soul" if not made of your self-worth? Fast forward ~297,400 years to when a system of value placeholders is created (currency), and then a mere 1,300 years more for it to beget commercialism (not evolve; spawn). Then, driven by advertising, materialism, and greed, commerce rapidly gives rise to consumerism, et al. as we live it today.

These two parasitic institutions of our modern age are rooted in the same concepts, the same drive for control.

YouTube is in the system as much as we all are, and just like church: you can choose to be neither prey or product.

You choose.

Zoom out; Youtube is not consumerism, and religion predates currency by a long shot. Fear is its original seed.

All of this, and more, is quite simply defined in easy to follow steps on a site or two.

Are you asking genuinely or just listing off questions? Do you have 30mins to sit down and focus on setting up ALL of the above? Personally, I think you owe it to yourself and your family to at least try. 🖖🏽

Because that's part of the consumer model. See: religion.

I pay for YouTube premium because I like the idea

Yup. Pretty much. 🤷🏼‍♂️

You leave him alone! All he wants is your kitten kibble, you hamfisted monster! Love the dainty sand doily. 🥰

How does that improve the slurry method above?

That's literally what "instantized" means, though. 😅
