This is not a serious person.

Taken from the About page:

Who are you? Hi, I'm the author. I've been dabbling in investing since 2015 and I decided to get more serious about it in 2023.

Is this financial advice? No. In fact, everything you read here is be half-baked by design. If it were fully-baked, then I wouldn't have felt the need to write about it in order to distill my thoughts.

Are there similar data sets for video & audio assets?

Con. The algorithm seems to dish out similarly structured videos for all users. For example, it generally includes music that is extremely annoying. (That "No no no" song that is on every other video). At the same time, I also recognize how addictive the app is and because of it I would never download it myself.

The only explanation I've heard is that once adoption occurs, you'd be able to pay directly. That's a big IF.

Surely they can post 18 million?

Correct, they don't know for sure but circumstantial evidence points in that direction.

In this case, it is private criminal enterprises originating in Russia or former soviet satellite state. They're not state sponsored so much as they are state sanctioned as they turn a blind eye to it so long as they don't target any homeland targets.

While I understand your sentiment, I think the primary objective of the filmmaker is to make a good film. Sometimes that means doing something to simply get an emotional response out of it. If it’s effective in giving people a deeper appreciation of the animal and that ecosystem, then I'd argue it was a good choice and not at all misguided as you're portraying it.
