It would have to become a network-wide decision to start treating Bluesky Follows more like Instagram Follows and less like YouTube Subscribers.

This is an helpful explanation. But does You Tube allow channel owners to create private channels?
Because I think users would feel better about not force unfollowing if they could at least make themselves private.

i’ve had to do some thinking about my tense kinship to the music of James Brown. this has helped me as I study his 1974 The Payback. i share these kinds of culture pieces in my SHINE BRIGHT HQ newsletter. also: music fans, let me know if you have other ideas www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/jame...
‘The Payback’: How James Brown Perfected His Funky Stuff
Rejected for the ‘Hell Up In Harlem’ soundtrack, ‘The Payback’ found James Brown exacting revenge and laying the blueprint for gangsta rap.

Oh snap. I'm about to dive into this documentary on Bilal. He's the very first person I ever interviewed as a brand new freelancer, and he's also one of the most GIFTED voices of the last 3 decades.
The whole thing is on YT.

Sudden disenchantment and awakening from dreams. Is the Self that you're embodying now your Ideal Self? If not, can you lessen the discrepancy a bit?

12:37pm EST: Neptune enters Aries. The God of Dreams enters the sign that says "I am" for the next 14 years, embarking (for good and for true) on a whole new trip around the Zodiac, which will last for 165 years. In crossing the world point, Neptune makes his presence felt.
