IDK, great question. It's averaging 67.8M views per year. 5.6M per month.

Why would someone buy a Youtube video? And why would Youtube take it down

How can a video that's probably been saved by thousands of people become a non-fungible token?


All that crypto / NFT stuff is so brain-dead. "Let's waste a bunch of electricity finding numbers with some arbitrary property, so that speculators can trade them! It's for freedom, you know? The Fed is evil because they, uh, make up money out of nothing! Well, sure, they have a few hundred billion in gold, but do they have... you know, a bunch of graphics cards and fans?"

It's utter stupidity and it should be shut down like any other scam or illegal casino. And I wonder how much of that Texas electrical grid meltdown was due to get-rich-quick neckbeards mining Dogecoin in grandma's basement. Probably played a major role there.

Meme and art NFT are just modern day money laundering schemes. Kind of like regular art.

This is the most cringeworthy and ignorant take on the crypto space I've seen in a long time.

I’ve watched the auto-tuned version way more times than the original.

I still quote that little fricker to this day. When My gf hits me for fricking with her(at least 2 times a day), I'll whine "that really hurt, Charlie!!"

Just watched first time. Cute, kinda smile-funny, not insanely great.

Well, tell me why I'm wrong then. I tried to back up what I wrote. I'm capable of changing my mind.

I'm not even sure if you're a proponent of cryptocurrencies, NFTs, or blockchain as a technology. Tell me what's good here.

Are you buying rights to it in perpetuity?


Nope. Just the rights to have your name linked to a hash that represents the video in a block chain.

About like naming a star after someone.

I wonder if I could sell NFTs for my sexual encounters to some lonely kid on incels.co.
