I thought he was on the femboy breeding college instance 🤔

People definitely do. CTR (click through rate) is generally pretty low, even before the majority of Americans were using ad blocks. But it’s not 0

This entire thread sucks and is breaking the rule about being respectful. Please stop.

Implying that those who disagree with you are subhuman is right out of the fascism playbook and it’s definitely not being respectful of others. You can hold that opinion and you can even broadcast it widely on the internet. The rules in this community says to be respectful of others and that by it’s very definition is not. I’m not interested in arguing further, and I’m definitely not interesting in talking geopolitics with you. I want you to be respectful of others and if you can’t, I’ll remove the content and ban you from the community. If others are not being respectful, report them and I’ll review that too.

I don’t care about the content of what you are talking about. The community rules say to be respectful of others. And you aren’t. I asked you to stop but you want to argue.

I think saying that any group of humans “aren’t people” isn’t being respectful of others. Please stop.

I LOVED my HTC Apache. I thought it running Windows CE was slick AF back in the day.

This exact thing is mentioned in the video.

You’re right. They care about our privacy and would never do anything to sully that trust. Certainly not through a partnership with an electronics manufacturer that pays them to do it…

They basically did the same thing several decades ago with Kindles and whispernet. It’s not really that crazy.

I’m proud of you bud

Patreon for the ones you really like, and substituting watching my own content on Plex is how I’m weening myself off YouTube.

I can get basically anything I want at cheaper prices than locally available by the next day. I can get an increasing amount of things delivered to me same day as well which is pretty nice. The return policy is also a big part of it. There’s basically no fuss or questions asked for anything you want a refund on. You don’t even have to put it in a box, you can just drop it off at the UPS store.

They’re evil, but it’s pretty great from a user perspective.

How about makeup?

It’s super frustrating that even paying for the NFLs super expensive service isn’t enough to watch your team’s games. It’s almost like they want people to pirate.

I switched to using startpage.com recently based on a comment I read on Lemmy and I’ve been generally pretty pleased with the results. Just one more google service I can stop relying on.

I’m not sure the YouTube heads really thought this through. I’m doing the exact same thing. I got a Plex setup and I’ve been watching more and more content on that instead of YouTube. I honestly don’t even miss it. When I eventually go back and try to watch something on a non-ad block device (Apple TV), it further underscores how shitty the service is getting. Longer and longer ads and it seems like they are slowly getting louder than the content.

We goof on this person, but in my experience this kind of shameless begging usually works to some degree.

Very easy. It’s a setting and I believe “contacts only” is the default value.
