Are you Bayesian or Frequentist?

Bayesian. Frequentist interpretations of probability are pretty seriously lacking and inflexible. They basically only work for circumstances where you can run many trials with a consistent distribution, which are only a small subset of all kinds of systems where probabilistic interpretations are useful.

I generally don't believe in statistics and treat everything as independent events

Where are Bayesian methods actually used?

Signal Processing and ML is mostly Bayesian. Pretty much everywhere where estimation is used that has any sort of regularization is implicitly Bayesian via implicit priors imposed by the regularization.

frequentists are brainlets
