  • Isn’t Kaiser multiple SEPARATE entities? For example their multiple doctor/medical groups are FOR PROFIT and Kaiser (the insurance company portion) is NON-PROFIT? Complicated structure, but I’ve always seen and heard good things from Kaiser. Sure there are complaints just like for any company that deals with healthcare, but Kaiser always seems like the best option.















  • That’s a good idea. Another one that may be effective is Google has AI process the video and they drop links in the text below the video based on company $. For example, Cool Shirts Inc. gives ad money to Google for their t-shirts. AI processes all new videos and checks for Cool Shirt Inc shirts. If the video has the shirt in it then this is added in text below the video, “Dig the creator’s shirt? Get it here: link.to.shirt.com/buynow”. Non-intrusive, fairly good targeting and if I do like something in the video I can check there to purchase or look into it more.


  • Hear me out: Google makes money by selling ads. People who buy from those ads don’t have an adblocker installed. People who are intelligent enough to block ads wouldn’t buy from them anyway. If Google allows it to be too easy to block ads then their model collapses. I’m ok with jumping through a couple hoops to continue to block and Google doesn’t lose anything while I get to still watch the content I like without wasting anyone’s time. It’s to Google’s benefit to serve videos to only people who will actually buy that crap anyway. If Google or anyone wants to sell to me, they simply have to make a great product. If they do, I’ll see it in use for it’s intended purpose and buy it. For example, I didn’t have to watch any ads to buy a Nintendo Switch years ago…
