It's like they are just bad at this. The one device I have where I can't block YouTube's ads is set to route through Tokyo, so the ads are in Japanese, which I barely understand.

I’m the last of the original developers of a particular system and now it’s my turn for management to move me on. There’s a new person and they are being instructed to use AI to work on it. It’s like moving the system to hospice care, looked after by the janitor with an Alexa until the lights go out.
Under that definition, all their ancestors are dead.
