It blows my mind that YouTubers are mad at a show because they spent two months focusing on details that turned out to not matter because the show had a very specific focus in never actually broke the entire time. That's on you, not on them.
Not every mystery is a puzzle for you to solve before the reveal, and I'm sorry that your day job is making videos speculating about such things. It's not a show's fault that it doesn't exist to serve your professional content creation niche. It told a small story.
Not going to call out anyone by name but wow, some of these YouTubers really need to step outside their own heads and listen to what they sound like. Blaming THE SHOW for wasting your time speculating on theories that turned out to be wrong. Seriously, have some self-awareness.
"Why did they cast Evan Peters if they weren't going to cross this over with the X-Men universe" is the dumbest motherfucking statement I've ever seen. "Don't give us a cool cameo because I might spend six weeks telling people it has a deeper meaning behind it." Seriously?
Weird segue, but I have a couple of test episodes for an upcoming podcast I'm doing with @anangbhai up on YouTube. If you want some Wandavision finale talk that isn't infected by this type of fan resentment, check it out here:

Is ebay really banning listings of the PROBLEMATIC Dr. Seuss books?
I can see the book he tried to sell listed on ebay so I'm not sure why it would get flagged (he says he used the ISBN number, so maybe that's how).
Looking now, "And To Think I Saw It On Mulberry Street" has many different ISBNs depending on which edition it is. If ebay only plugged some of them into the algo, that would mean only specific versions would get auto-flagged.

The republican grifter obsession with cancel culture is bad, but another bad trend is that nobody defends these decisions anymore. The argument now is universally "you care about small things that don't matter" and I don't accept that. This stuff always starts from the bottom.
Also the problem isn't the changing of Mr. Potato Head or the removal of some Dr. Seuss books. The problem is when people start getting in trouble for letting their kids play with a Mr. Potato head or bring a problematic Dr. Seuss book to school. THAT'S where things are headed.
Josh Hawley losing a book deal over things he himself did as a public official is not cancel culture. Someone getting fired or shunned or shamed on social media for reading Josh Hawley's book is cancel culture and that shit absolutely happens.

My dude had a yearlong global pandemic where the world essentially shut down and he still didn't do it. And he kept promising, too.
Look at the date on this. LOOK AT IT.

Finally getting around to this. It's very nice. Packs a wide punch in the "mid" area of the palate (not too deep, not too bright). Has a really long tail and a complex aftertaste. Image
A thing I've noticed about 100+ proof bourbons is that the really good ones can mask how high the proof is with the flavor. Cheapo high-proof whiskey just tastes like Everclear that had oak chips soaking in it.
I still have my Elijah Craig barrel proof B520, which is 127 proof, that I haven't opened yet. That will be its ultimate test, but the small batch EC is such a flavor bomb that I feel like it'll pass this test easily.

For fuck's sake - tell people the ways in which their lives will improve after they get vaccinated, not the ways in which their lives will stay exactly the same. What the hell is wrong with your brains???
I guarantee that these recommendations will include more things that people CAN'T do than things they CAN.
It obviously makes sense to tell vaccinated people to keep following local safety regulations because there's no way to tell who is or isn't vaccinated, but the focus should be that getting vaccinated should make you feel way more confident about neither getting it nor giving it.

I think the two main factors driving covid pessimism and gaslighting are:
1. An attempt to scare people into being cautious; and
2. The fear of the political toll of optimism that'll turn out to have been misplaced. Misplaced pessimism isn't as politically risky.
Trying to scare people is backfiring horribly because they keep preaching more severe measures (like double masking) when things are objectively improving with repeated good news regarding vaccines. It's creating a dissonance that ends up backfiring.
I see a tweet that says "new study shows vaccine reduces transmission risk 90%" and the very next tweet is "health officials say don't change any behaviors after getting vaccinated." It's getting really nutty at this point.
