I’ve been considering switching to Linux since Windows 11 launched, and the announcement of this dumbass ‘feature’ convinced me to start actively researching how to switch as smoothly as possible. I don’t think this backpedaling will change my mind.

Seriously, I can’t believe loneliness was half the article’s focus. I suppose I shouldn’t expect anything more from this garbage web site.

SEO crap and AI written gobbledygook make Google a ton of money by way of being the first results for every imaginable search. Either they will do nothing, or do so little that it won’t affect their precious bottom line.

The controls, M&KB or controller, are atrocious.

How about the wealthiest companies on earth just eat the god damn cost and provide a live-saving service because they can.  They already control our lives and make hundreds of billions in revenue each year. What more could they want?  Stupid question, I know.  My point stands.

If YouTube actually cared and served normal ads for beauty products, food, and household cleaning products, I don’t think a lot of people would care as much. I certainly wouldn’t.

“They’re giving <noun>.”

I had the same thoughts. The cows are already being turned into meat, might as well use even more of the cow to make things. This move is just to tick a check box, just like skimping out on wall chargers.
