@Goldensky0 I do this too! 😆 I sometimes take up to a week, depending on the book to process it before moving on to the next.

@MissSassbox Routine. I do the same thing every night before bedtime: read a chap or an episode of a comic. I also use an automated do not disturb sleep setting so when it comes on it’s helps as a visual cue that it’s time to go to sleep. Helpful when I get too caught up in reading.

@EdoVibeQueen I’ve dropped several of them for that reason. Sometimes I really just want a cute romance.

Nothing really prepares you for the emotional whiplash of a K-drama that starts off light and funny, and then somewhere around episode 8 the writers suddenly remember trauma exists. One minute you’re watching a cute rom com, and the next thing you know you’re deep in a revenge thriller subplot you absolutely did not sign up for. 😩😩like how did we get here 😭

Totally worth it being up at almost 3am to see @LewisHamilton 🐐 get a Ferrari podium 😊 🥰 #ChineseGP #F1 #LH44

Is this a record for most cars not finishing a race… when weather is not a factor? #ChineseGP

YouTube just crossed $60B in revenue for 2025. $40B from ads. $20B from subscriptions. Both numbers are growing double digits.
The math here tells you everything about how Google actually views its users.
2.7 billion people use YouTube every month. 125 million pay for Premium. That’s 4.6% of the user base generating a third of total revenue. Google’s own executives said on their Q4 earnings call that a Premium subscriber generates “meaningfully higher gross profit” than an ad-supported user.
So YouTube’s real optimization function is straightforward: make the ad experience painful enough that the 4.6% who can afford $14/month convert to Premium, while keeping it tolerable enough that the other 95.4% still watch long enough for advertisers to extract value.
This is a toll booth that charges both directions. Advertisers pay to get in front of you. You pay to make them go away. And YouTube takes a cut of both transactions on the same piece of content, from the same viewer session, off the same infrastructure.
The subscription business alone is now generating ~$20B annually across Premium, YouTube Music, and YouTube TV. That’s bigger than Spotify’s entire revenue. And it grew 25% year over year, adding roughly 2 million new paying subscribers per month through 2024.
The advertisers aren’t getting scammed either. YouTube controls 12.4% of total TV viewing time in the US. Shorts pulls 70 billion daily views. The ad side grew 9% to $40B. Both sides of the market are expanding because YouTube is the only platform where the product being sold to advertisers (your attention) is the same product being sold back to you (your attention, uninterrupted).
That’s a $60B business built on one insight: attention is the only asset you can sell twice.

So basically, companies pay Youtube to show ads and we pay Youtube to not show ads
