They could probably make more money if they expanded the Youtube Premium Lite program to more countries. People will pony up a bit to avoid commercials, but what they charge to bolt on the unwanted music program is ridiculous.

One day, hopefully, people will get together and decide to show them what persecution really is.

fuck that let them quit. They can be replaced. it is a couple of hundred employees. 

Assholes. Don’t like drag shows? Then don’t go. I’m sure no one is forcing you to. Meanwhile, you want to cram your religion down everyone else’s throats, though.

What grinds my gears in all of this was that this was a hypothetical. The women literally doesn’t run a website and had no injury whatsoever and should have had no standing to bring this case to the courts. But here we are, another day in American being ruled by a loud, ignorant, violent minority. 

some employees signed a petition saying the event was offensive to their Christian religion.

Yeah, the five second ads at the beginning are not why I went out of my way to block ads on Youtube, it was the 30 second ads every two minutes on some videos. I’ve gone without ad blockers occasionally when I get a new device, and always end up installing one eventually, not because I mind a few banner ads here and…

I am not advocating anything but I hope she has robust security on the websites she builds. Someone may decide to hack into her customer’s websites to express their free speech. Chad and Stacy may find some questionable gifts in their registry. “Hey Uncle Ray....What? We did not ask for a double ended strap on dildo!!”

Honestly, if YouTube wasn’t so saturated with ads, I’d be okay with it. A single ad before a 10-minute video? Cool. Three unskippable ads before watching a 1-minute video? Really, Google?

This is what they where put on the court for. Pave the way for white supremacy. 

This decision was fully under the Free Speech section, so you specifically have to couch it under free speech, not religion.  But as long as you do that, this SCOTUS says you’re golden!  And totally won’t throw a shitfit in the opposite direction when someone says “fine, I will not make websites for Christians!”

Sotomayor’s dissent is a work of art. Good, decent people will ignore this ruling. Bad people will immediately start discriminating against queer people today. And that’s a big problem for a nation that has freedom and quality baked into its constitution. Adding insult to injury, the plaintiffs here had no standing…

I think more people would sign up for ads free if it was say 4.99 and didn’t come with Music and stuff most people dont want from them

Once again, freedom of religion does not mean you are free to force your religion on other people.

Youtube is unwatchable without an ad-blocker. Multiple ads in a 15 minute video, sometimes inserted in the middle of a sentence, volume balance way off. Just, no.

I hate it here

Google makes enough money selling my data so they don’t deserve to get money from me directly. All the youtubers I watch have merch stores or pateron, so I support them directly that way. If they did this, it would hurt the youtubers because I’d stop watching and buying their stuff. 

People wouldn’t be blocking ads if they weren’t intrusive, repetitive and inserted into videos far too frequently.

This has absolutely nothing to do with Microsoft.

This is an incredibly stupid ruling. The criteria shouldn’t be intent do intimidate. The criteria should be “Did the receiver feel threatened/intimidated by the messages?”
