Thanks for pointing that out, I hadn’t thought of whether or why it was closed source! I’ve seen nothing but good intentions from Kitboga and his team, but I can’t know everything obviously so I’m glad you’re pointing that out!

I hear you, monthly subscriptions can be a killer financially. The team that made this knew that releasing the free version might hurt their finances in the long run but they genuinely want to help protect people from being scammed.

I will say the paid version is as cheap as they could possibly make it, they may have to up the price in the future to keep paying staff but I appreciate how much they’re trying to make it accessible.

If I was in a position to I’d pay for the subs for my parents and grandparents (maybe in the future), but at least I was able to get them the free version for now!

I’ve never heard of this, I’m gonna look it up and learn more!

Aaaahhhh same!!! His face is in all my screenshots because I always have his videos on in the background 😆

Yeah!! Kitboga actually answered this question on a recent stream, I know for sure the premium version you can whitelist any site. Not sure about the free version! Kitboga said it’s the most common question he gets 😂

That’s so sweet, I imagine she feels very supported by your words! It’s for sure a full time job, but to me personally it doesn’t feel like a job most of the time even though I’m super busy. I think it’s the “find a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life” thing?😊

That’s so cool, thank you very much!! 😁

I don’t think I ever would have come across this story if you hadn’t posted it, thank you.

I wish the article would give more details about what the tweets actually said!

People generally assume stay at home parents only choose that if their spouses make a lot of money, that they are bored or unsatisfied with their life, and that it’s a job that is very hard and not much fun.

Obviously I don’t speak for SAHPs and maybe these things do apply to some, but my life is freakin awesome! We choose to live very simply and frugally on a single below average income and it is completely worth it every single day for us.

I have so much control over my own schedule, I can’t get enough of spending time with my kid and have so much fun with them, I have more time for my own interests, self care or friendships when my spouse can take over at times after work, we get fun family time all together almost every day because we don’t have to spend all evening cooking and cleaning (plus our schedule is more flexible), and this is the only job where everything I do all day long directly benefits myself and my loved ones (beyond financial support).

There is genuinely nothing in the world I would trade for this. But man do I get tired of the negative comments from nearly everyone who finds out what I do.

I’m totally hearing this in the voices of Stan and Cartman from South Park

The username makes this even better

I know several people who feel this way!!

I think the part these points miss is that a lot of kids don’t have good or involved parents, and they shouldn’t have to suffer disproportionately because of it

They are so genuinely funny and I watch them both because of that and because I’m happy he’s able to make a living from his material!

Me too; I prefer Lemmy now but I’ve gone to specific subs on Reddit when I didn’t know where else to find certain info and I’ve noticed a serious reduction in both quantity and quality of posts. I kept wondering if it was in my head but it’s so many different subs I think it must be the case. Good riddance!

I kept reading it as Daniel Radcliffe and I was like why the HECK is he working there?

Say Goodnight Kevin, we miss you 😭

Thanks I hate it

I wanna get this so bad but I don’t and I want to be socially accepted by peers so I won’t ask for an explanation

I mean the grey background and bland expression may be skewing our perception. I wanna see these people in a meadow with a mouth open smile wearing colorful pastel clothing!

On another note I’d love to see photoshop battles start up on Lemmy 😎
