A few years I gave up on "TV". If I watch TV anymore, it's YouTube hooked up through the XBox 360. Which gets used for playing Civilization or watching YouTube. Ads? Bleagh, PiHole solves that.

But the creators? That has led me to Patreon, which is sort of evil, but it's a decent middleman. If the creators want to use something else, then I'll go that way. But, I have a few that create content that I really enjoy watching and appreciate the work, so I reward that.

And speaking of that, there's a guy who does math, 3blue1brown, (which I don't do, I "get it", but don't ask me to explain it :) who has a couple really good mathy videos about pandemics and how they spread. A good learning experience.

I think they're worth watching and sharing.

Stay safe my friends.
