The honey one is just as useless as the honey extension itself, otherwise the YouTube one seems like it would be super op for studying topics en-mass

I’ll have to disagree with you. You could buy a lot of items cheaper than $1 for free (insert the I’ll take your entire stock meme here).

You might not be able to sell them on, but you can probably solve world hunger with it by just giving it away. And if you insist of seeing personal benefit: surely the positive karma you get with people could get you something in return. Also no one said anything about trading instead of selling :)

Yeah but you’ll get spoiled on every show you watch, instantly comprehend the utter bullshit of any flat earth video that gets recommended, and you’ll have seen so much celebrity worship.

having omnescience about a website implies you learn things that are on it instantly, which means a short rabbit hole of clicking on wiki links has the ability to earn you multiple degrees in a week if you’re smart enough to comperhand the topic (this said please don’t use wikipedia as your sole resource)

and there’s always the random article button if you run out of ideas of what to search

Some are great. Take the Chrome one: Go to wikipedia and know something about pretty much everything. A lot of knowledge is useful even if you don’t properly understand everything.

Youtube is a lesser version of Chrome.

What’sApp entirely depends on how easily gullible rich people would give you money. You could probably just sell those information too.

Netflix and Amazon could yield some nice money.

Spotify would massively decrease the barrier of learning new instruments if you’re into that. But many of the benefits can be achieved by scrolling through notes/lyrics with the Chrome benefit.

Chrome + Wikipedia was my plan. Plus “website” is so vague I could also read millions of books. Grab a spot on a show like Jeopardy and become the new chanp.

Reading technical documentation on Chrome would make you an incredible subject matter expert. At the very least, you’d be able to get degrees and certifications pretty easily.

Amazon, 100%. Bezos doesn’t get any money out of me, and Amazon has fucking everything. Sure, the quality varies sometimes, but who cares if you end up with a dud item when you can just try another listing for free? I’d order shit on the daily just for the fun of it, maybe start an unboxing channel even.

the YouTube one, are you kidding me? I could find a free course on how to do nearly anything, I could just scroll through a playlist and instantly learn months worth of material.

Doubt, but do you really want to have that shit littering your brain?

YouTube is just a better Spotify you can look at music thumbnails and just fly through instrument and music theory tutorials

While that’s happening, I never considered scrolling through playlists of multiple mechanical and scientific shit and basically becoming Jimmy Neutron overnight. By then you’d be the greatest inventor/handyman/musician and I doubt a stray video about bullshit would ruin all of that
