Even his mugshot looks like a child having a tantrum.

In the future I can see people shooting down LEO satalites like they do now with drones.

keepa is my prefered tool for amazon prices as it integrates into each amazon page so no 3rd party site hopping and you know the results are for the item you are currently looking at.

Like any sale, don’t buy things you don’t need.

Yes and yes.

And this won’t stop kids from continuing to access it. All kids these days are computer savants compared to the rest of us and, VPNs are bountiful and easy to use. Also I for one don’t want the state actively tracking me every time I want to watch How I Wet Your Mother.

Republicans: “Porn is bad, and it shouldn’t exist, and anyone who consumes it is going straight to hell!”

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.

Oh yes but Google pushes the full 30 seconds ads anyway because they can charge more.

A lot of the major news sites like NBC and CBS are rolling out software from a company named Admiral that blocks you from the site until you turn off your ad blocker. Its annoying as hell. Now I have to make sure to block the ad blocker blockers.

I watch YouTube at home on my PC via the Opera browser, using the private tab option. I never see ads. Although I have a YT account, I only use it on my phone when I wish to comment on a video, which is rarely.

What’s really amusing is that there’s a blocker specifically for YouTube ads and it’s in the Chrome store.

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?

If they would offer an ad-free tier of YouTube Premium without the music service at say $3/mo I’d be willing to do that. I have no use for the music service though and $11/mo is just to expensive.

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.

Watching on mobile is usually fine, there seems to be a single pre-roll ad and 1 mid roll ad. I use adblocker on desktop, so can’t comment there. Watching on my AppleTV on a TV, though? It’s EXCRUCIATING. An 8 minute video has a pre-roll ad and 3-4 ad breaks with 2 ads each in the video. That’s WAY too much. I put it…

Just like gmail automatically sending the class action against them to people’s spam folders. 

“The company has repeatedly stated that ad blockers violate its terms of service.” Yet they have an adblocker built into Chrome browser! So you can block other sites’ ads, but not Googles!  Irony or greed?

Glad I got in with Google Play Music back in the intro offer for $7.99/month. Years later and I’m paying that for (what is now) YouTube Music + YoutTube Premium.

Still, I sympathize with those who have to deal with YT ads and all this BS.

Here’s an idea-
