This Is How The Internet Dies [Complete Script]

ICANN

The Internet does not exist. What we colloquially refer to as the Internet is just a global network of all networks, formed by a consensus of voluntary participants.

In a network of computers, devices have to be assigned unique identifiers in order to be able to find and send information between each other. If more networks want to make connections, they have to coordinate these unique identifiers for each device in every connected network.

On the Internet, these uni...

I need you to criticize me more

There  is a global shortage of accepting criticism and disagreement without  imploding egos or burning bridges. I don't think we should strive  towards building a uniform monolith where we all agree on all approaches  and principles and any slight disagreement must automatically mean bad  intent and "drama".

I used to think that unity is a virtue that should be pursued. I no  longer think unity is inherently good or productive. Diversity is  strength. ...

$1,200 per tweet - This is how sponsors are buying objectivity from creators

Simon (Closed Ntwrk) just sent this tweet. He said that sponsors that do this are buying objectivity and it's true. If anyone tells you they are "transparent" about their sponsors, ask them how much money they take from each sponsor. They won't tell you because they can't. It's NOT transparent. This is what corporate influence does to social media.

Anonymous dissent part 2 - Street surveillance [BTS]

Intro

If you walk down the street in a modern city, chances are you might stumble upon one of these banners. If it caught your eye, a hidden camera equipped with facial recognition AI would identify your brief moment of innocuous attention as a successful ad impression. The algorithm would get a print of your face, that print would lead them to your social media profiles, and later during the day, you would be served a Facebook ad related to the banner on the street.

A company c...

Playlist of all of my old Patreon-only episodes

My older Patreon-only episodes were posted as unlisted YouTube videos. I posted them to 0 and 1 tiers on Patreon page, which means tiers from qubit and higher and can't see the older posts. Patreon doesn't allow bulk editing of old posts. I'd have to manually edit visibility settings of hundreds of posts. Hence, here's the playlist for your convenience. The default order is from the latest to the oldest episode. 

Maybe I don't deserve your support. But I will do everything I can to fulfill my promise!

Words will never do justice to express how absolutely stunned and humbled I am by all of your support. I've been having really negative thoughts lately and I thought I am not good enough for my audience. And I am not sure if I ever will. But I believe in this message. I don't want to stop unless I am stopped. And your support has given me hope that I can keep doing this a little longer than I'd thought. 

THANK YOU!

We have reached the first goal of 200 patron...

IMPORTANT UPDATES: New tiers, private RSS feed, merch and goals

Hello dear patrons!

I'm in the process of making some changes around here in the hopes of attracting more long-term supporters. YouTube is fraudulently unreliable and unfair in content distribution and I am done trusting the platform. Patreon is not a saint and has its problems but this is a start.

More tiers

I will introduce one lower tier ($2) and three higher tiers ($15, $25 and $35). These are crafting around merch and some new perks. I will introduce a Briar/Cwtch group...
