Veritasium. They still make great videos, I would argue better ones, and if private equity can take the hint to do it like that we’d be in good shape.

Same here, I’d use it as an example of how to do that right.
That’s the nice thing about Plex, you just stream your Plex library using Plex, and Plex is also the only place you and anyone you share with need to log in.
Sure, the delivery bots are the lynchpin in our dystopian surveillance future. If only we could stop them, then nothing else would track us.
