    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.

      youtube for studying topics en-mass? my friend? have you forgotten that wikipedia is a website?

          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

            There’s also a lot of websites with science papers so I’m guessing the knowledge would be nearly limitless.

    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.

    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

      Yeah, and with the way social media works, there’s a decent chance that after establishing a pattern of being able to predict trends, you’ll be able to choose them. You don’t even have to be a social media manager to make money from that. Sell celebrity status. Or don’t when someone comes to you but you can’t predict them going viral.

      Or on a different angle, you could predict stocks that are about to go viral. Depending on how far in advance, you’ll also be able to predict future events and things like election outcomes. If you use your power to become well known on social media and can get stuff about yourself trending, you’ll be able to predict your own life. And if you can set trends with self-fulfilling prophecies, you could start revolutions or bring down regimes (or at least generate popular opposition).

        Yeah people are hopping on the Amazon one (which isn’t a bad choice) but predicting the future of trends like that is powerful. Especially once you become accustomed to it and can capitalize on them

    I think the loophole here is Spotify, because with all that knowledge, you are two or three relatively minor skill issues away from total musical mastery

      My question is how would you know exactly how to play a song but not be able to play any instruments. That doesn’t make any sense.

      If you know how to play the chords for the verse, chorus and bridge then you know how to play it on guitar.

        I think it would be like drawing. If you don’t have aphantasia and have an epic image in mind, and basically only be able to put it down in stick figures.

        In this case, you might know what strings to press and how hard to strum those strings. But you still need to get your fingers on those strings without tangling them and know how to pluck and strum them.

        As soon as you learn the instrument you know how to play every song on it, but that doesn’t mean you have the skill necessary to play it

    But also the amazon one would be nice, it would just require a lot of careful planning.

    A couple of these are really tempting. I need more information about Amazon, specifically do I get to choose the free items? There doesn’t seem to be any stipulation that I can’t resell them, so that’s good.

      Seems easy to loophole around as well. Since the downside is “you” can only shop at Amazon, you just need someone else to do your regular shopping. Of course you could be screwed if Amazon ever shuts down.

    Amazon. I can have anything. Even if restaurants count as stores, I can cook. I can also sell my free cars to buy drugs or whatever from places that aren’t stores. Heck, I can trade or pay individuals to do whatever.

    The Tiktok one is definitely underrated. You could start the most successful advertising company. Or grow a content farm worth billions.

    YouTube would be insanely powerful, but only if you can control it. It could be a disaster if you open up YouTube and immediately fill your head with Jimmy Fellon clips and various Top 10 lists.
