Oliver Burkeman on Choices
British writer and journalist Oliver Burkeman has written quite a few bestselling novels, but his Four Thousand Weekscomes with excellent advice, tips, and best practices on time management. And what’s not to love? It doesn’t sound preachy at all.

What Do We Think About Twitch’s All New Partner Plus Program
The creator circuit hasn't stopped talking about this since the news has come out.
On June 15, Twitch announced this program saying, it will offer eligible streamers 70% of their subscription revenue.
In its official announcement, Twitch said, "Streamers in the Partner Plus program will receive a 70/30 revenue share on net subscription revenue (revenue from recurring monthly subscriptions and gift subs), for 12 months up to US$100K. To qualify, Partners must maintain a sub count of at least 350 recurring paid subscriptions for three consecutive months."
Can nano streamers maintain a count of 350 recurring paid subscriptions for three consecutive months? The internet has mixed reactions, of course! While this is a nod in the right direction, particularly because Twitch's former program involved a 50-50 split, it still benefits top-tier streamers only.

Overly Sarcastic Productions for Discussing Literary Tropes
Overly Sarcastic Productions, as the name suggests, is all about sarcasm! This YouTube channel reviews fiction and classic literature but with sarcasm. Debunking myths and discussing tropes, this channel also talks about typical characters and how writers may dramatise scenarios to make things more appealing. For instance, it talks about standard tropes like triangle love stories, loners, or strong female characters.
If you read books, this channel is for you! Also, because these offer great viewpoints that also make you think.
