          Good: Less money now, maybe better long term reputation and more sustainable business.

          Evil: More money now, better quarterly report this quarter. Who gives a fuck about the long term.

      We keep saying that, but it’s always “Waaaaahhh self hosting is so hard! I don’t wanna pay for my audience’s bandwidth! I need the YouTube algorithm for promotion!”

      Fuckin babies thinking they deserve to be hailed as content creator entrepreneurs.
