If i was the CEO of youtube i would enable Lightning and give every user 50 sats. Then i would implement Stacker News type system where upvotes gives a sat. Eventually you would not need advertisements and you would not need to take dark money from MSM - you could just take a very small percentage of sats content creators receive -which is basically just a political institution at this point, in order to game the search algorithms. The platform would become free and independent in other words. The way it should be :)
edit Youtube has 2 billion users, giving everyone 50 sats for upvoting would only cost 1000 BTC unless my math is wrong.

What in the world is going on where a cop who shot an unarmed black man in the back of the head while he was face down at point blank range gets a measly 100,000 dollar bond?!

police quality death spiral. everyone hates on cops, job quality gets worse, villainized, no respect, nobody wants to join dangerous job except meatheads, can only hire neanderthals who are ticking time bombs that will further spoil their reputation.
