Even worse now is the non-alcoholic spirits you can buy that legit cost as much as the original alcoholic version, and then they use that in a cocktail.Yes it Does taste just like the proper cocktail but your kinda missing half the point of the drink...
Certain genres have different themes i find.For example i think most 'metalcore' songs i listen to are about emotional or addiction struggles, anger at society/moral injustices, inspirational (yes really, overcoming obstacles and living a happier life), life experiences and oddly a lot of christian bands in the genre.
Well they did make chin-diapers fashionable during the whole 'i ain't complying with your public heath and safety mind control bullshit' during mask mandates.
I use DDG but i do wonder what i dont see sometimes.I often google a specific brand of components at work and even with the exact brand and/or part number in the search it sometimes doesnt turn up any results (say 5-7 random unrelated webpages) and thats it. Then i put the same search in google and bam, top result.
People need to eat, bills need to be paid, shelter needs to be provided and unless people can have these at no expense and create things for pure passion & share for others to enjoy then they need the means to pay for these things.
The internet has whittled this down to a few basic models:
Pay the service directly for the content (subscriptions or 1 time purchases)
'Free' content and they serve you ads which they are paid for by companies trying to sell something to you
'Free' content and they sell every bit of data they can scrape from you to companies which are again, trying to sell something to you.
If you could find a way to do anything without having to pay for our human needs then would it be a trillion dollar idea or would money be meaningless now when people wouldnt need it to live & enjoy their lives?
