I hope they don't bring Chinese UI/UX to it. Native Chinese apps are a mess from a western perspective.

Its too close to slavery for my liking. Yes they are paid but 2.5k per month is very low for Singapore, they work massive hours, they rely on you for shelter, and are very likely from much poorer neighbouring countries that are trying to support family back home.

The whole power dynamic is extremely exploitable which results in a lot of abuse cases.

It was actually free money assuming you had the resolve to stop once you claimed the bonus (presumably most people didnt). As long as you were laying the other side of your bet on an exchange you could extract the full value of your free bets risk free.

I collected a few grand back then, however those sort of promotions are now illegal where I live.

The second line. The video description for me says the following:

"HAWAIʻI VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK - An incredible sight at the summit of Kilauea volcano on Saturday morning, as Episode 38 erupted enormous lava fountains across the caldera, destroying one of the webcams that was live streaming the event.

All images and video are courtesy the U.S. Geological Survey. A synthesized text-to-video voiceover was used in the narration for this story."

There is pretty heavy pressure to buy stash tabs once you hit the later parts of the game, but you get a LOT of time to figure out if you actually like the game before you feel it.

How long before they start deleting? I haven't logged in for 5 years and my account is still there.

Except its not 6 years for the vast majority of people?

https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas...

~75% of people get diagnosed in <1 month of urgent referral and 90% of people that want treatment get started in <1 month.

and the poorest in the US are among the most plentiful medical tourists to Malaysia and Thailand.

This is such an absurd statement. The poorest Americans can absolutely not afford travel to the other side of the world for treatment.

Of course, my main point was my second sentence and was using YouTube as an example.

I know I'd be much happier travelling with my partner than solo.

I agree with the kid point, but YouTube is littered with travel influencer couples that are living this lifestyle.

I would imagine if you had significant other to join you on this lifestyle, it would be significantly easier since your companionship is covered.

Not as much as traditional bookmakers but they absolutely care. Betfair has a "premium charge" where if you earn over a certain amount in a year, you get charged a fee equal to a % of your gross profit.

Its the same as poker. An exchange wants a bunch of equally skilled players betting against each other. If everyone has zero edge, all the money stays on the exchange betting over and over and the money eventually all goes to the exchange in commissions.

Players with a strong edge dramatically reduce the time before the losing players run out of money, meaning less commissions for the exchange.

The proof is in the pudding / free market.

Dumping toxic waste into a river would also lower costs for consumers vs disposing of it correctly, but there are regulations to prevent that. Complete unobstructed free market capitalism is not sustainable, there needs to be a balance.

I understood it not as past decisions, but facing current decisions they need to make but often procrastinate on by looking at their phone.
