    mp3va.com has been listed in U.S. Trade Representative annual reports as being unauthorized to sell music. Legal experts have explicitly stated that while MP3VA claims to operate legally under Ukrainian copyright laws, “it is not legal for them to sell this music in the United States”.

    I’ve never used the site, but there seems to be an argument here regarding moral law and legalities within the United States.

    But the site claims that:

    Service www.Mp3va.com pays full-scale author’s royalties to owners of pieces of music, trademarks, names, slogans and other copyright objects used on the site.

    If that’s the case, I think the OP should feel good about it.

    Buying off a site like them likely pays out more per user than listening to the same songs on a streaming platform.


  • only reason i might want to have kids is to have people who care about me when i’m old.

    There are a lot of variables that would need to fall into place for that to be a reality, and chances are, you’ll be supporting your kids until you die.

    Not worth the gamble (IMO) in time, energy, and money, if that’s what the hope is.



  • You didn’t ask for it, but my advice is not to have kids, at any age.

    Life is so short, and you’ll never have enough time to do everything you want before you’re too old to.

    So why burden yourself with a kid(s)?

    That assumes the kid(s) is totally healthy and doesn’t grow up to be an asshole, addict, or troublemaker.

    But if your kid(s) ends up with health problems, intellectually slow, or has nightmare behaviour problems, you’ll hate living the rest of your life. Then you’ll resent them, which would suck for everyone.

    And at your husband’s age, you’ll be doing it all alone. And in 20 years, you’ll likely be caring for your husband, so there’s no life, even after this kid(s) becomes an adult.


  • Anyone here youtube creators? Are you seeing the same thing, a general downturn in viewership?

    I have a channel with over 20k subs, nearly all evergreen content. Haven’t uploaded a video in many years, so it’s slowly getting fewer views. Fun fact, the pandemic saw the highest view counts, and I also didn’t add content back then.

    Every enhancement YouTube brings is specifically to improve monetization, and since I disable ads on my channel and don’t have any sponsored content, I’m not getting any benefits. I also refuse to do shorts, so I’m losing a ton of exposure there, too.

    If an active channel isn’t doing well, they should call it quits, TBH. They’ll either have to compromise the quality of their content “for the algorithm”, or their content isn’t actually useful outside of a single view.




  • Because stores use a high quality feed

    Yes, obviously, and consumers who are buying such high-end displays should do their best to provide the highest quality source to play back on those displays.

    Distance from the display is important, too. On a small TV, you’ll be close to it, but resolution won’t matter as much.

    But from across the room, you want a higher resolution display up to a certain point, or else you’ll see large pixels, and that looks terrible.

    Personally, going with a 4k TV was a big leap, but the addition of HDR and an OLED display (for black blacks) had the most impact.



  • I find that it really depends on the content on the size of the display.

    The larger the display, the more you’d benefit from having a higher resolution.

    For instance, a good quality 1080p stream vs a highly compressed 4k stream probably won’t look much different. But a “raw” 4k stream looks incredible… think of the demos you see in stores showing off 4k TVs… that quality is noticeable.

    Put the same content on a 50"+ screen, and you’ll see the difference.

    When I had Netflix, watching in 4k was great, but to me, having HDR is “better”.

    On a computer monitor, there’s a case for high-resolution displays because they allow you to fit more on the screen without making the content look blurry. But on a TV, 4k + HDR is pretty much peak viewing for most people.

    That’s not to say that if you create content, 8k is useless. It can be really handy when cropping or re-framing if needed, assuming the desired output is less than 8k.
