  • I’ve gotten ads for things I’ve just thought about. Never said anything out loud about or did any searches related to. It was something in a video I’ve watched dozens of videos about in the past. But on this occasion, I happened to think that I kind of want one for the first time. And I just so happened to start getting ads for them right after, also for the first time. They know way more about you than you think and don’t need to listen to you.

    They won’t be well if they watch him. One of his main money makers is dishonest and probably illegal lotteries where he suggests almost everyone who buys something from him will get some kind of big prize. In reality, the odds are like 1 in 60000, and the requirement of a purchase for a chance to get the prize is probably illegal.

    He also sells chocolate and cookies as “healthy” using similar underhanded promises of rewards. He also runs contests and game shows that are staged and rigged which, again, is illegal on broadcast TV.


  • You’re setting ‘nam’ to whatever the output of the function called ‘input’ is. The string asking who are you is an argument to the ‘input’ function. What that function does happens to be that it prints its argument out to the console, waits for the user to enter text, and returns whatever text was entered as its output. I would recommend actually trying out the code and playing around with it if you want to understand it better.

    The other two functions you mentioned work similarly. The output of the function named ‘int’ is a new integer. Usually you will give it a number as an argument to set the value of that integer.
