I've noticed that the people who disagree with me are much better at clicking the downvote button than they are at clicking reply and explaining why they disagree.
"Please don't post ideological battle comments?" What bullshit. It's happening all the time, it's just that you don't perceive them as such. Well, stew in your echo chamber.
If that's what you really think, I guess it's an indication of how well the story was suppressed. Does the part where Hunter explained that the long-standing arrangement was for Joe to get half of the loot ring a bell?
Are you under the impression that there isn't a conspiracy related to the virus?
Did Klaus Schwab say "The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world"? Did the WEF say "To build back better, we must reinvent capitalism"? Did Justin Trudeau say "this pandemic has provided an opportunity for a reset"? Did he repeat the words "build back better" and express support for such an effort? Did Biden and Harris say anything about that? Did Greta Thunberg? Did Cuomo? Did Pelosi? Did both Clintons? Elizabeth Warren? What about Johnson in the UK, did he ever express support for "building back better"? Jacinda Ardern?
The answer, of course, is that they all did, and far more rich influential bigwigs besides those. Do you suppose that they all simultaneously arrived at that wording independently?
Maybe you'd prefer it if we called it a "complex" theory? As in, the government wants more powers, the media wants endless crises to report on, the pharmaceutical companies want guaranteed income and protection from liability, leftists want to make sweeping changes to society and the economy according to their ideas about how the world really "ought" to work, etc.
This site is not "substituting a guess". It is using an official API to get likes and dislikes at regular intervals. If YouTube has some wonderful reason for suddenly deleting hundreds or thousands of dislike clicked in by authenticated users, they should say what it is. Otherwise it looks like an attempt to deceive people. YouTube is displaying misleading lies; this site is displaying something much closer to the truth.
The first analysis was done by Zoe of phzoe.com, then apparently completely independently reproduced and confirmed by another researcher. YouTube has openly floated the idea of not displaying dislikes, something that has been previously discussed on HN. So it seems like they are manipulating the data, and that it is this obvious, and that they're taking steps to make it less obvious now.
The Guardian is a propaganda outlet for a cult of victimhood and racism. This might as well be an article about body thetans written by a Scientologist, presented as a matter of fact rather than religious dogma.
Well, the situation varies from place to place. What you're suggesting is definitely true to some extent. But other factors predominate sometimes, like a relentless taxpayer-funded fear campaign supported eagerly by the press, which loves to be able to report anything alarming. Some businesses are being put under by curfews, limits on what they can sell, expensive new requirements, and other forms of interference.
Some coward flagged my comment instead of replying and using words. Here it is again:
Not the pandemic, no. That's clearly incorrect attribution of causation, because it's not as if malls can't keep the stores staffed due to people dying. It's government policies that are killing businesses, not the virus. This is exactly the kind of take one would expect from the Washington Post, a propaganda outlet.

What did you get angry about? Do you often find yourself getting angry when people say things that differ from what you believe? Who knows, maybe it could be therapeutic or beneficial in some way for you to have to confront more honestly a tendency toward anger due to disagreement.
The only crisis we're having is one of propaganda. Wearing a mask doesn't do anything useful. I'm sorry to say that, because it's good to be creative. But your creativity is being misused to perpetuate a delusion.
Sorry, but that's exactly the kind of world we live in. The world simply is barbaric no matter what we would prefer. When people mess up a little bit, we put them through a process that, despite its massive inadequacy, is intended to rehabilitate them so that they can return to society. The death penalty is for when someone commits a crime so severe that they cannot ever return to society. If you are not able to think of this kind of situation, I suggest you may not be very familiar with the details of truly horrendous crimes. If we don't have the death penalty, we end up in the strange position of housing and feeding and providing medical care for the most harmful people in society at the expense of their victims.
If it's a country's cryptocurrency, then it's not real crypto. We make real crypto because we know we can't trust governments. Ethereum gives us the power to make a program, make it available to everyone, and lock ourselves out of it forever because we know we can't be trusted. This is called trustlessness. Governments will never make a trustless asset because they want special authorities. They'll keep special keys that grant access to functions normal people don't have. We have the technology to do better now. Not using it is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Any article like this that unapologetically, and indisputably correctly, bodyslams leftist "progressives" for their blatant racism and rejection of the best ideas ever created by humanity, is far too dank for HN. Watch it get flagged (ostensibly for "unproductive discussion", which essentially means the left has no defense and doesn't want to go 10 rounds with Evander Holyfield)
