Then you'd be giving money to the Google company as well. You can also look up the content creators and donate directly.

What is your objection to paying for the thing you seem to enjoy using?

Most content creators I've heard of appreciate those who subscribe to YouTube premium. 55% of the cost goes to creators.

Will creators also serve you their content directly?

You have seen a tardigrade with the naked eye (without microscope), that's as large as a spot on a ladybug?

LeifCarrotson · 2025-12-11T00:20:23 1765412423

No, sorry if that wasn't clear, I've not identified one by eye without a scope. Maybe your fine vision is better than mine, but all the tiniest things in a drop of water are just about indistinguishable without magnification. The kinds of water that have sufficient density to contain a tardigrade just look like they're full of grit, I don't think you could identify which speck was a tardigrade and which was just dirt.

Nymphs are larger (that's why they call them "macro" invertebrates), but it's always good to have at least a magnifying glass if not a loupe or microscope on site.

As a non-native speaker, TIL that "magnifying glass" and "loupe" are not synonyms. According to Wikipedia:

> [Loupes] generally have higher magnification than a magnifying glass, and are designed to be held or worn close to the eye.

I got the reference, it's just the 'not technically alive' part that I was calling out

I can't find anything; can you show us?

> Blu rays are obviously h265

Most new UHD, yes, but otherwise BRD primarily use h264/avc
