That's more a product if the yt algorithm. For every one like you that is annoyed by the clickbait, there are a million others instantly clicking with no further thought. So if you don't do that, you're losing money.

Even then, that's not really correct. People grab data through sql queries all the time. Mostly because all the front ends are trash.

Have you never heard of a mural before?

They were expecting this result to be possible. What were they supposed to do? Slam the car into the side if a building?

I feel bad for Nikola Tesla having his name associated with all this nonsense. Not even death let him escape from rich assholes taking credit for the work of others.

They already have that.

They seem to think if they censor hard enough that people will stop hating murderous billionaires.

Money does buy you happiness. It just has diminishing returns.

So the best way to maximize happiness is to take the money from those that have maximized its effect and give it all to the poor.

Actually, I wouldn't mind if the Pinkertons were replaced by AI. Would serve them right.

Not reusing words isn't the same as not repeating itself. Especially if it's been given a minimum word count, it will often restate the same information in different ways to fill space.

Of course, this can happen with actual writers as well. That's why editors used to exist.

It's also one of the few ways to make money available to them that has a chance of making them enough money to live the way their grandparents did. Certainly the easiest to get into.

I kind of miss having a three handed controller. I never know what to do with the extra now.

That's because the shutdown hardly exists anymore. When you choose shutdown now it just hibernates. Reboot is the only way to get the full refresh of a shutdown unless you're using CMD.

Dirty little secret they don't want to admit is 2A was for the military. Not meal team six.

Depends on your TV. If its software is android based, there are apps available if you don't mind sideloading. Though I would recommend using something like a firestick to minimize the risk.

Our Overton window has been sprinting right for 40 years at least. Our left wing is now just conservatives that don't hate people.

It's more likely to be out of work security guards in their police cosplay.

At this point ad blocking is more about security and optimization than stopping ads themselves. If a site wants to run some banner ads to pay for costs, I have nothing against it, but once Javascript is involved, that just becomes a vulnerability for attack.

Also, websites that bury their content in layers of overlay and popup ads with loud audio and several unrelated videos can go fuck themselves.

Because they are at the end of their growth phase and have entered their squeeze until dead phase.

The biggest risk would be IoT devices.
