  • The statement is but an option, of course you couldn’t handle your phone handcuffed, that would be extremely difficult.

    It’s merely a countermeasure prior to any altercations with officers, most phones automatically restarts if you press the power button for a few seconds.

    I don’t think having to resort to such things is cool, but I indeed had to do this once .

    Where I live cops often unlawfully search you and check whatever they want. I was stopped at a traffic light, on the guise of a “drugs operation”. Told the officer I’d pick my license and car register, picked those and restarted my phone in 5 seconds. Got out of the car, they searched and soon released me.

    In this case nothing happend, but if you’re somewhere where cops search unlawfully, and you were not stopped near an alleyway that cops can beat your password out of you with a wrench, I’d totally say you should restart your phone.









  • I understand your view, it’s indeed a lesser hassle to just pay the subscription and be done with It.

    I can be wrong about It, but judging by how big corpos operate things most of that sub money probably will end up in the company account, not the creators (again, I can be wrong about this).

    Wouldn’t you say that using an adblock and supporting creators directly (hot take here since you could want to support 50 people), be a more reasonable and better approach?

    Ads are fine, but while the company is being obnoxiously intrusive and predatory towards Its customers, it’s hard to just pay to not be inconvenienced.



  • I’m not trying to criticize anyone here for their choices, I’m just curious about the actual effects of such a subscription.

    As of now the most basic one is 14usd/month, how much of that money gets to the creators that you Want to support? As of the writing of this response I don’t know this information nor searched about It. Do we have an actual diagram or any information saying how much are you contributing for each channel you are subscribed to?

    Suppose you are subscribed to 28 channels and the sub money gets distributed evenly, that’s 50 cents a Month to everyone, not much “paying their due” in my opinion.

    Now if you really really want to patronize one, two or three channels, wouldn’t sending money directly to them or paying their exclusive membership be a more reasonable way to go about It?
