This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Lets all just collectively refuse to engage with or buy a product from any company that runs a 90 second unskippable add on youtube.
At this point it would be smart to simply hook up any old pc to your tv and watch in the browser.
Going for infinite growth in a worth in which 'inflation' is not properly recognized as a result of the rich stealing from the rest, results inevitably in services worsening until they kill themselves.
What’s crazy is when you actually want to watch an ad (like a game or movie trailer, or a review of a product you’re considering buying), and you have to watch an ad to watch the ad. You’d think videos advertising a commercial product would pay a fee to cover the ads.
I have not bothered with YouTube since ads and the stupidity at volume kicked in. So glad I am not trapped into it. Video content has a place but it’s bloated and predatory thanks to clickbait and monetisation. For that reason the good content gets lost/shunned on my behalf.
i'm seriously amazed by many people's ability to ignore and withstand those annoying ads lmao. even a tiny banner one some website is enough to trigger me to create a new ublock filter...
On mobile I’ve noticed there’s a button have to click to remove the ad. It’s maddening. I click the button to skip. So they added layers of ads. You gotta click skip twice to get to the video. Now there’s shit covering up my interface that I have to remove. So much shit.
