Funny you should mention that. There's a Nobel Laureate economist who said the same thing. He's also been wrong on every prediction he's made as far as I can tell. His name is Paul Krugman and he essentially said that the Internet was just a fad and that it was a glorified fax machine. Granted this was in 1998 so maybe he could be forgiven for that... but then he said that working remotely (i.e. the very thing a lot of us have been doing during the pandemic) wasn't viable at all.

I have YT Premium! Haven’t watched a video interrupted by an ad (other than the ones that Simon reads) in ages. I ❤️ YT Premium. Totally worth the money. But to answer how creators are paid, they get paid for the watches done by YT Premium members. YT splits the monthly fee that members pay amongst the creators...? I’m not sure on the logistics, other than creators do get paid, and last I heard, they make slightly more from YT Premium members than they do from people watching using free YT (per watch). So to use totally made up numbers as an example, 100 people watching a YT video using free YT = $5 in revenue to the creator 100 people watching a YT video using YT Premium = $6 in revenue to the creator Long story short (too late!) YT Premium is awesome for the viewer and awesome for the creator. Highly recommend!

Simon, there IS a recorded usage of sail on a tramway. [ 'The Swansea and Mumbles Railway', Charles E.Lee, The Oakwood Press. p.6 : 'An attempt to use wind power was reported in The Cambrian of 18 April 1807, as follows: An experiment of a novel kind was made on the Oystermouth Tramroad yesterday, to ascertain the practicability of a carriage proceeding to the Mumbles without horse, by the aid of the wind alone. Some Jolly Sons of Neptune rigged a wagon with a long-sail, and the wind blowing strong and as fair as could be wished, set out from our quay, and after clearing the houses dropped anchor at the end of the tramroad in less than three quarters of an hour, having come a distance of about 4 1/2 miles.']

Unfortunately UK GP's, particularly the older ones, seem to believe that they can diagnose any condition with much less than a handshake. Any tests or diagnostic procedures they order have to come out of their very tight budgets, and you're currently only allowed 10 minutes and one condition per consultation. So you've generally got just enough time to explain the problem and possibly get your blood pressure or temperature checked, before he doctor gives his verdict and waits for their 20 year old printer to spit out the prescription. Either that or they'll tell you it's nothing to worry about and shoo you out. And now after the lockdown they've figured out that they don't have to share an enclosed space with those nasty disease-ridden patients, and everything can be done over the phone, or over the worst video-calling web app I've ever used. So that 1905 prediction was pretty much spot on, just a bit higher-tech than the reality.

I've got 2 rotary phones that are over 70 years old and still functioning due to the fact that when the power goes out they still work due to the storage batteries at the local telephone exchange. Nothing like a 20th century back up for the 21st century and oil lamps of 19th century to back up lighting in the 20th and 21st century.

I also have a working rotary phone in my house. Sadly though the network that supports them fully without power is coming to a sad sad end as the local phone company I use, once you have fiber optic available in the area and encounter a technical issue, you are switched over to fiber optic and now you have to provide your own battery backup solution if you want the phone available in a power outage

1994, Me, excited for the Internet. I see an ad in a magazine for a product called "Internet in a box" and I say "Oh great, there goes the Internet. Before long it's going to be nothing but advertisements and people trying to take your money." Everyone around me responds "no man, the Internet is free, it's the wild west!"

You will never be cancelled Simon. There is upwards of 250,000 us. We got your back. I hope that doesn't as terrifying as I think i might. Major props to the legendary legends over at Surfshark for keeping our boi blazing. I'll be over there if you need me, officer...

My family had a rotary phone when I was a child. I was allowed to play with it after they upgraded to one with buttons. It has been a wild ride seeing phone technology go from rotary and party lines to pocket size supercomputers that can also make phone calls.

[@whimsical_me5135]

I wish there was a way I could get paid for watching Business Blaze videos all day😂😋
