Picasso created over 50,000 pieces of art throughout his life. According to Google, only 51 are deemed ‘notable’. That’s 0.102%. Screw perfectionism.

Usually, Andrew Schulz is trying to make you laugh... But he also just proved he only needs 90 seconds to make you cry. Comedians are the best storytellers on the planet.

YouTube has a chronic problem… The ‘views-at-all-costs’ mentality. And it needs to stop. If views matter more to you than respecting other people and cultures, following the law, or keeping your dignity, then you need to have a long hard look at yourself. Because they don’t.
