Seems like that it's only a banner of the own platform incentivizing people to purchase memberships do the video creators can make money

I mean, people need jobs to pay the bills. She might have decided it was a risk she'd have to run

The whole talk of "I wanted to believe in this company" is just to disarm the HR people

Alternatively, allow everybody to use proxy decks. Then they can have their fun with their decks and you have enough forepowers to fight on fair footing

Unless the problems is also that you are not that experienced at MTG, but since you said you know how to play, this could be an alternative

But in any case, yeah, they should have taken into account everyone else's fun, for sure

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

The problem isn't that, the people understand this concept. The problem is the average person has less and less wealth every day while people at the top get richer and richer

If everything else wasn't this costly, I'd have no problem forking over some money for youtube or creators I really appreciate

"Well, watch the ads, then"

Time is also a resource and more and more people are fighting for people's time and attention. Regular social media is built around the concept of keeping us glued to our screens to sell our time looking at it to their advertisers

If time is also a resource people want me to fork over to them, I will fight to keep my time protected by using it on things I want instead of on ads (also, watching ads might get me to make impulsive purchases, which threaten my financial resources anyway, so double the reason to block them)

I don't have an abundance of time and money to give away just because companies want to extract even more of it from us
