Which is exactly what was described in the article.

Price fixing, whether explicit or implied from conduct, is absolutely something anti-trust regulations were designed to prevent.

I think it's less to do with the fact that ads exist, and more to do with how intrusive they are. Early YouTube ads were pretty tame compared to the ones today, especially when it was just banner ads.

You've made it clear that you would vote Republican if the Democrats don't support AI.

And since you have said it yourself that it would be voting against people's rights to do so, you've made it clear that you are okay voting against people's rights if it means voting for AI, which is exactly how the rights of everyone get eroded.

You've said, repeatedly, that you would vote for AI over rights. It's your single issue, and have even pointed out that Democrats can support both, but if they don't support AI you'll vote against them regardless of what their opponents support.

No exceptions, I will become a single issue voter and this will be my issue.

Edit: I think you're starting to realize that you've blustered yourself into a corner.

Need I remind you of your initial comment?

Delay llama 3 and I’m voting for whoever runs against Biden. No exceptions, I will become a single issue voter and this will be my issue.

No exceptions also includes even if the person running against Biden wants to take away your right to vote or bodily autonomy.

But you've said it yourself, you would vote against other people's rights if it meant fewer things, "getting in the way of open source algorithms."

Reading comprehension, you lack it.

Your life, liberty and health aren't under attack, so you don't give a shit about the life, liberty, or health of others. That's what, "fuck you, I got mine," means.

Edit: Also, the irony of you talking about, "everything you have will be slowly eroded away," while proudly saying you don't care about the erosion of the rights of others is not lost on me.

Like I said, epitome of, "fuck you, I got mine." You don't care about the rights of other's because yours aren't under threat.

Your health, life, and freedom isn't under attack like those groups listed. All you care about is if you get a fancy new toy, and to hell with everyone else's rights.

One of the requirements for Brannigan's law is that you can't make it obvious that you're invoking it.

That's quite a long winded way of saying, "fuck you, I got mine."

And as an fyi for anyone that may be confused: They mean the patient squeezing a rubber ball while their arm is in a tourniquet (the band that goes around the upper arm while blood is drawn).

(But yes, either type of ball is completely different than squeezing a penis. Just goes to show how screwy perception can get while under anesthesia.)

6. Wait until the news cycle rolls over and implement a similar plan anyway.

If the publicity around this action causes more people to move in the direction of using addblockers it could be really counter productive for youtube.

That all depends on if the revenue loss from an increase in ablocker use is more than the revenue gain from people either disabling adblockers or purchasing a plan.

I would probably argue that it's not so much pointless as it currently has more limited use cases than conventional means. This may or may not change in the future.

This is exactly it. Unless there is a specific test of a mechanism, all they've found is that there is a correlation between the two. There could be other factors, e.g. behavioral, which increases the chances for both.

How about just not auto-convert everything and keep the integrity of the data unless specifically asked to? Is that so hard?

That's a good question.

There's actually more value in metadata than just for advertising, such as scientific and general market research. And even just talking about ads, it's still useful for both targeted and non-targeted ads and is not limited to the YouTube advertising space.
