Like It Or Not, Likes Rule

Marc Thomas — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 04:30:14 +0000

How many times are we asked to carry out these orders on YouTube when all we want is to get to the reason we clicked on the video in the first place? Likes do have their place, up to a point, because if you like a video, you’re probably more likely to share it with others.

Marc Thomas — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 05:08:47 +0000

I’ve had my Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra for five years now, and surprisingly, I’ve never reset it. Before this, I had at least three Galaxy phones and would reset them once a year, mainly to clear out all the garbage that accumulates over time.
