About nobody reading terms of service: there’s a cool project called Terms of Service; Didn’t Read. Check it out!
Also, Vergecast has a nice show notes section with time stamps where listeners can cherrypick the topics they want to listen to, so it’d be cool if you guys did something similar in the dyscultured Youtube videos’ show notes too (Not that I skip any section of this show).
Looking forward to next week’s show!
