These videos are basically becoming an ad for that nebula/curiosity thing. I tried it once with a 3-month trial. i canceled it in 2 weeks because there's little worth watching. All content there is high quality ofc, but most of it is also available on youtube, it still has ads and you'll run out of content in a few days of watching what interests you. Creators DO get paid there more, but by that logic i'd rather use Patreon.

why do u have nebula

For anyone curious about the name: Chinese companies often have official English/Western names that are phonetic approximations of their Chinese name but don't mean exactly what their Chinese name means. This is because asking a non-Mandarin speaker to casually pronounce a Chinese name accurately would be a bit challenging due to the differences between Mandarin and western languages, and a literal translation may not always be the most appealing name for a company. - TenCent's name is a phonetic approximation of the characters 腾讯 (téng xùn), which literally means "soaring news." - WeChat's name is a phonetic approximation of the characters 微信 (wēi xìn), which literally means "micro-letter" ("letter" as in the document and not the alphabet). This is true even for companies that aren't in Mainland China. For example, Taiwan is home to a ton of computer companies whose official Western names are nothing like their Chinese names. Acer's Chinese name is 宏碁 (hóng qí), which sounds absolutely nothing like "Acer."

The BAT abbreviation is merely a coincidence. As a Chinese I can tell you that prior to 2020 barely no Chinese have heard of anything related to bat cuisine, not to mention considering it edible. If anything one can heard at that time, there was a tourism promotion video of Palau, made by the "president" of the "Republic of China" (commonly known as "Taiwan" although these are two very different concepts) Tsai Ing-wen, talking about her experience eating a bat soup there (she has made tourism promotion video to all countries recognizing her government on Taipei as the government of China instead of the one in Beijing, and Palau is just one of them). Bat cuisine is very Pacific thing and has its root in their culture. Honestly I won't blame them (although most Chinese express their hate against bat-eaters since they know their existence in 2020), because that's just how the indigenous find a way of living. Before 2020, every year there are people who either visited those countries or influenced by certain culture, and consumed bats. That's it. It's like you can easily find snake, ostrich, venison, alligator, etc in American butcher shops that is almost exclusively visited by White Americans but most White Americans probably throughout their whole life won't know that one of the butcher that they visited does sell those thing. Most, however, have heard of bamboo rat (a herbivore species size similar to a guinea pig or a rabbit) cuisine, due to an Internet celebrity named Huanong, who is a farmer raising thousands of bamboo rats. Unfortunately after the COVID-19 hit, his farm got eradicated by the Chinese government due to their one-size-fits-all approach, and we miss his funny vlogs about his bamboo rats.

@@swapnilsharma2794 I have the subscription but it’s so buggy the interface doesn’t even load properly and once loaded properly then I need to search and once again doesn’t load properly. Once switched interface, it just doesn’t load. Then all obstacles cleared and get to the video, then the video doesn’t load. I don’t know how it is now. Also they don’t recommend videos. I don’t mean collect user data is good, but I want some relevant videos to me. I hope they fixed their buggy video streaming service because I didn’t go to the app for a long time. Hopefully my information is outdated.

So, the whole video was an ad?

Great Video. Very well crafted thank you.

But Jack Ma’s IPO wasn’t a monopoly. The ant financial IPO was gonna hurt the interest of state monopoly on banking, so shutting down Jack Ma’s IPO was tolerating state monopoly on financial institutions.

@@Edt5814 Ant financial is borrowing money from the banks to give out loans to their users. The banks are taking all the risks of ant financial. Plus they changed their name from ant finance to ant technologies to avoid being regulated. Jack Ma thinks he's smart but only street smart.

Yay, you uploaded!

I was and still am considering giving Nebula a try, but the way this video's ending was treated left a pretty sour taste on me. Not going to boycot it because of that, but this was really disappointing. I hope this doesn't become the norm.

Ant has the potential to cause something like depression in 2008 according to its business model and possible abuse of it. It is probably the right decision to call a stop.

I think that’s Evergrande. Ant was at least doing one business that it’s supposed to be in rather than a whole range of businesses including financial products that Evergrande has no place to be. Not exactly pro-Ant but just thought there’s a worse offender in the room that we should not forget.

Good video. I’ve been wondering about TenCent myself.

Thanks for making true videos so we learn more

Pubg players: This is one of our leaders??

Why do we need to pay to watch the rest of the video? I understand big projects being locked behind a pay wall, but a full, regular video goes against what most KZreadrs believe: always having their main content available for free.

Amazing topic!

I went back to Shanghai around 5 years ago after studying abroad for 3 years with a wallet full of cash, thinking I would be covered. And for the rest of the summer I didn’t touch my wallet- there’s no place to use it. Everyone from high end brand to snack sellers on the street are using WeChat pay. People just stared at me when I tried to buy stuff with cash, at the end I had to give up because no one has any change. TLRD: China( or at least shanghai) doesn’t even use cash anymore because of WeChat pay. It’s truly living in the future.

What is a Tencent? A brother of 5cent

Tencent owns Riot which owns League of legend

As a Nebula subscriber, I have to say it's really hard to purposefuly go to Nebula to watch something there. No comment section, it looks technologicaly dated, kinda not it generaly. Anyways, whatchagonnado

Visa Inc is not a credit card company, it allows transactions of payment between customers and merchants. It operates one of the largest network for payment called VisaNet and its largest clients are Banks such as JPMorgan and Bank of America. It is a company that is extremely profitable and has the largest revenue to net income ratio. It is in the top 10 companies with the largest market capitalization.

I didn't known that Tecent are part owners of Paradox interactive. You where right about Tencent dominating the game industrie.
