You can try NewPipe, which is free. IIRC I downloaded it from F-Droid. Maybe someone else can reply and confirm that's the best place to get it.

How do younpay for these services? I'd imagine you might not want to use your credit cards.

If you use a VPN, change your country and see if that affects the content you're offered. I'm in Manchester according to my VPN, and Netflix is offering me tons of British sitcoms and dramas, shows not available in my home country.

Do you have a link for Stealth? Libreddit was working for me up until two days ago.

Someone can appreciate what they have and still struggle to support a family, repair and maintaine a house, pay deductibles and co-pays for medical treatments, support an unemployed or ailing family member, pay student loans, pay car loans, send remittances to family in a home country, etc. They could simply live in a HCOL area. There are many not unusual scenarios that could have a household making $150k/year struggle.

It's basic Econ 101. People buy more in high inflation periods because they know the same goods will cost more in the future.

ETA: I myself have bought sneakers in future sizes for my kids as well as household consumables and toiletries (meaning, not gifts) this Black Friday.

In this case, the magazine created fake journalists with fake bios and used them.in the bylines. I would think that's a kind of fraud and definitely hurts the magazine's trustworthiness. The article goes into other publications that have also used fake journalists with their bylines in AI produced articles. I think if they were more transparent- say, labeling an article "AI created content" - it wouldn't be as much of an issue.

This also doesn't address errors in the AI produced articles (which could be solved by having a real life fair checker or editor).

 

Sports Illustrated was publishing articles under seemingly fake bylines. We asked their owner about it — and they deleted everything.
