Does what PewDiePie calls a council not resemble a Poldermodel? That’s all I associated with it. Please don’t lecture me about what to watch and drag up negative associations that have nothing to do with the subject (multiple LLMs voting for the best answer) for a simple observation.

Zonnetje in huis.

edit: also, 7 years on and after closure of the platform I cannot find evidence of rug pulls or exit scams associated with Dlive or any of their underlying crypto funding mechanisms, so before judging others on the content they consume maybe don’t take random YouTubers at their word and then don’t look into it 7 years after the fact.
