That “usually nothing bad happens” will have to do.

It’s not just that. Most people here are into far left, anti-capitalist bs and people don’t care to deal with that

Then repeat this process every few months the device decides it needs to ask the password of you again. Not playing this game

I always thought the reason they don’t take any action, is exactly because adblockers would then work as the guy above described.

Companies posting ads would eventually become aware, that a not insignificant portion of viewers don’t even see the ads they are paying for. I don’t see how this won’t cause a backlash… i guess youtube calculated that in and thinks it’ll be worth it any way.

I’m a student; Unions are great; the meme is just shit

Make something that’s actually funny?

Superbly shitty meme, wow

Dev is actually going pretty well. What they have achieved is pretty amazing.

But they are going to say the game is in ‘alpha’ as long as they can, because it means they can keep collecting “pledges” instead of “paid content”.

I bet that has some tax purposes.

Targeted ads has become such a boogey man, that you all can no longer view these things rationally. There is nothing wrong with companies wanted to get their products advertized to the most likely customers and there is nothing inherently wrong with a platform using your activity to see what ads you are most likely interested in.

The potential issue with it, is your personal data leaking everywhere and being assimilated by questionable companies who could create a psychological profile of you, that knows you better than you know yourself.

If they truely only let companies target you, by presenting them an internally grouped collective of likely customers in which you happen to be included, then there is absolutely nothing wrong with this. Same goes for the newest change in how chrome manages ads.

You clearly have no idea what a brain interface is.

I absolutely would. I’d not line up to be among the first, but controlling devices via a brain interface is an inevitable step of technological evolution.

It will provide such an immense performance boost, that many professions may become unattainable without having one. Possibly within our lifetime.

Which should have been the expected response. Extremism can only ever create more extremism on the other end of the spectrum.

The only thing those street gluers achieve is the exact opposite of their goal.

Tbh, at this point there’s no reason in them disabling ad blockers. If you haven’t gotten used to this insane amount of ads by experiencing the slow, uphill creep, having to go from seeing no ads to suddenly this, is impossible. I couldn’t watch youtube videos in the current state of ads, so I’d just have one less vice.

I had already stopped once, when youtube vanced went offline (until i found revanced) and I will do it again

Because there is no conscious force guiding it

Emoji bad

Dont use plastic straws, drive public transport or bike, buy bio food, donate to orgs, glue yourself to the street

and maybe… just maybe… you will change fuck all
