The incredible happiness of exchanging the time I was given on earth for money so I can pay my bills. Highly recommended, 10/10.

What do you enjoy? Need some tips on what to do outside of work. :)

This is why people should be allowed to work from where they want. Of course it's not healthy to not meet other people for long times.

Some of my colleagues are single and they felt the same during covid, it was very difficult for them. But I had a family and didn't feel lonely at all. So situations vary a lot.

I think more and more people are getting really tired of the ads, so it's starting to affect their revenue a little bit with all the ad blockers.

The battle goes on and on.

I read about some sucker that paid for YouTube premium and still got ads in his pause screen. Lol.

Yeah I knew it too, just making sure more people know the real reasons. :)

The media goes on and on about the fake reasons like collaboration and other bullshit.

Well some people win the lottery. :p

The content is pretty boring most of the time. I wonder if it's mostly bots now. In the beginning, there was a feeling of exploring something new and exciting. But it pretty much turned into Lemmy.world, which is not very exciting...

Maybe we need forums to come back. Somewhere where discussions amongst like minded people can come back and thrive.

Lots of different forums run by different people. Do you know why we got mostly memes now? Because it's the safe content everyone agrees with. But it's really dull.

Being dumb is being happy.

I liked that people could run their own instance and that it was not controlled by big tech.

We don't have to watch YouTube... :)

Video selfie... Lol :) People who agree to this must be desperate to use Facebook.
