[0:01]good morning that would be

[0:03]Bailey feeling better this

[0:07]morning I think I realized what I was

[0:09]trying to say

[0:12]yesterday I basically I don't want to

[0:16]replace one set of controls with another

[0:18]and it kind of feels like YouTube works

[0:20]that way like people start to think that

[0:23]they own you like I've seen that over

[0:25]and over

[0:26]again um if they don't like something

[0:28]you say they unsubscribe

[0:30]like you could be talking to these

[0:32]people forever and just one thing you

[0:35]say wrong or they don't like and I mean

[0:37]that's just how our society has

[0:39]become and I'm not trying to live a life

[0:43]of control anymore I want to be free and

[0:46]I don't know that you can be free on

[0:47]here

Summary

rswfire reflects on feeling better after yesterday's concerns and clarifies his resistance to replacing one form of control with another. He discusses YouTube's ownership dynamics where audiences unsubscribe over single disagreements, viewing this as part of broader societal control patterns. He expresses desire for freedom and questions whether true freedom is possible on platforms. **Current situation**: Preparing to travel, expecting to reach a beach tomorrow. **Morning routine**: Cat (Bailey) sits on his lap preventing movement, establishing new morning ritual involving letting cats outside, making coffee, and starting the day. Oliver remains inside while other cats go out.
