How easily can one get E1 treaty trader visa and what volume and quantity of trade are recommended? If I have a company registered in my home country (eligible country) and have payouts from a US provider like an advertising network, affiliate provider or some marketplace etc. and my clients are all US companies, can I apply for that visa? Would a low six figure yearly revenue with monthly payout be sufficient for that?

If you want to get a visitor visa to attend an incubator like YC, is it better to:

1) wait to be admitted into YC and get B1 visa for 3 months. Do you get some kind of invitation letter from YC that increases your chances of approval?

2) get a normal tourist visa now and specify you will go to the US for a week or two like a normal tourist and later use that to go to incubator training.

  "Today, though, a young man working at a Walmart or a gas station will struggle to attract a stable partner or the respect of the world around him."

True if they are not good looking. If a guy is really handsome, he could attract a partner easily and people will like him due to halo effect.

Netflix is not easier, but marketed heavily and competition is censored in search results. Some random pirating streaming site is unknown and probably not even easily discoverable on google (you have to use yandex for that).

I stick to pirating with adblockers because it is more convenient, there is a much bigger library of content and I don't have to share any personal info or pay for anything.

Subscriber count is not a measure of quality or importance of the service category. Hacker news is less popular than TMZ or the DailyMail, but it is not a lower quality news website.
