This is what off-grid looks like when someone has taken it seriously.

A farmhouse in Lazio with its own solar system generating 20,000 kWh a year, a private well independently tested and clean, Starlink already installed, a Hammam, a sauna, a 100 sqm pool, a gym, and an operating agriturismo business with an established clientele that comes with it.

654m² (7,040 sq ft), 8 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, 30 olive trees, an orchard, and 3,000m² of garden. There's also a residual government solar incentive of approx. €30k still attached to the property.

The option to purchase the adjacent riding stables separately is also on the table.

80km from Rome's international airport. Asking: €535k ($630k).

I like it.

YouTube just crossed $60B in revenue for 2025. $40B from ads. $20B from subscriptions. Both numbers are growing double digits.

The math here tells you everything about how Google actually views its users.

2.7 billion people use YouTube every month. 125 million pay for Premium. That’s 4.6% of the user base generating a third of total revenue. Google’s own executives said on their Q4 earnings call that a Premium subscriber generates “meaningfully higher gross profit” than an ad-supported user.

So YouTube’s real optimization function is straightforward: make the ad experience painful enough that the 4.6% who can afford $14/month convert to Premium, while keeping it tolerable enough that the other 95.4% still watch long enough for advertisers to extract value.

This is a toll booth that charges both directions. Advertisers pay to get in front of you. You pay to make them go away. And YouTube takes a cut of both transactions on the same piece of content, from the same viewer session, off the same infrastructure.

The subscription business alone is now generating ~$20B annually across Premium, YouTube Music, and YouTube TV. That’s bigger than Spotify’s entire revenue. And it grew 25% year over year, adding roughly 2 million new paying subscribers per month through 2024.

The advertisers aren’t getting scammed either. YouTube controls 12.4% of total TV viewing time in the US. Shorts pulls 70 billion daily views. The ad side grew 9% to $40B. Both sides of the market are expanding because YouTube is the only platform where the product being sold to advertisers (your attention) is the same product being sold back to you (your attention, uninterrupted).

That’s a $60B business built on one insight: attention is the only asset you can sell twice.

I really can't feel bad for him. He got paid to deliver cars and he used that money to show off IG hoes and calling us broke daily. Mko na soft spot ya wezi sana nyinyi watu, no wonder Kenya is a crime ridden, corrupt and dysfunctional shit hole.

We are sending our kids to school to memorize facts that AI can retrieve in 0.3 seconds.

We're grading them on essays that AI writes better than their teachers.

We're preparing them for jobs that won't exist by the time they graduate.

The entire education system is training humans to compete with machines at what machines do best.

That's not education. That's sabotage.

The schools that survive will teach thinking, not memorizing. Creating, not repeating. Discerning, not obeying.

Every other school is a museum that doesn't know it yet.

Khaby Lame just retired at 25 for $975,000,000.

The company that bought it expects to generate $4B this year.

But Khaby didn't just sell his TikTok account.

He sold his entire existence.

The deal includes a scary "AI Digital Twin" clause:

He handed over his:

• Face ID
• Voice ID
• Behavioral models

Since he never speaks in his videos, there's no language barrier.

Which means his AI clone is now:

• Selling sneakers in Shanghai
• Promoting skincare in São Paulo
• Doing brand deals in Los Angeles

All at the exact same time.

Brands are currently paying $1M per ad to use his digital twin.

He doesn't show up.

He doesn't film anything.

He doesn't even open his laptop.

His clone does everything.

While the real Khaby is probably on a beach somewhere.

The trajectory has been nothing short of impressive.

2020: laid off from factory job in Italy
2026: $975M exit without saying a word

He went from unemployment to billionaire status by pointing at things.
