His talking points aren’t even really interesting. AI is overhyped, companies don’t like to lose IP and data to AI companies, etc.

For me it’s also a price issue, after my streaming more expensive year on year at some point I just stopped and paid for VPN and Usenet.

Unfortunately my local gas station (Netherlands) also puts ads on the pumps. Glad I never have to go there anymore (recently switched to an EV)

When I was in the US it was just confusing sometimes. Like I went to this restaurant to order a pizza, to-go. They had a sign outside and the pizza was like 18 dollars, but when you want to pay its more because of tax, and now they also expected a tip. Ok but it’s to go right? So you also tip when getting groceries? The entire system just felt very arbitrary.

Yeah not every Iranian that is against the current régime wants the Shah back, they also don’t have a great track record.
