Oh no, I'm not under any illusion that my data is safer with any of them lol. I'm just saying that that's why the US doesn't ban American social networks/companies. Because it's all about control.

No, they love those, since that data goes to the US government instead of to the CCP

Can't wait for all the weird VR sex stuff that's in the book lol

It's a way smaller userbase, but imagine what Facebook does with the Quest headsets

Blizzard is already pretty infamous for adapting their games for the Chinese market, by removing or replacing certain numbers/symbolism or objects like skulls. So, it's already been happening for a long time.

I wonder how much of that the guy actually gets to pocket in the end

Nah, I don't disagree. Your experience is valid. Did he get some tech support for it or something? Because that doesn't sound like normal behavior for a new phone, no matter the brand.

What did he do to it?

Welp, I hope he falls into a vat of acid

Don't you love throwing a whole bunch of people with different backgrounds into one bucket? 🙄

Arrr, matey! I think we have an understanding! Ye may sail the seven seas, I don' see a thing wrong with it!

Youtube can't paywall the site, since that would create an even bigger outrage than longer ads. But they are already working on unskippable ads, so people won't be able to block them with conventional means. So to them, it's not a simple request. Either you watch ads or you pay. I'm personally not a big fan of that, since it feels way too intrusive and dystopian.

And yeah, Google as a whole sucks ass, we all know that. Again, I'm not arguing against stealing from them, but just that it IS indead still stealing/piracy to block ads. If you want to do that or not is a personal decision, but people still need to be aware of what they're doing.

JD should shut his stupid trap lol

Probably something about a beings true name giving power over them.

I know! It's like some people are looking at this and just see a piece of meat!

It's because they don't know enough about their wife's own genitals. They don't see those often enough to learn anything lol.

But in all seriousness: Very rape-y vibes from those guys, I have to say. Pretty gross.

Okay, and you are not entitled to use the platform. How do you suppose people are to keep it running? Charity? Good luck with that. In the case of Youtube or Twitch, video streaming is more expensive than you can imagine.

I'm not arguing against ad blockers, I'm arguing that they are still a form of piracy. Also, if you go to a cinema, you've presumably already paid for the ticket, so the cinema has already made money from you...

You've already paid to view the movie, it's not funded by ads. Same with commercial breaks. I presume you're already paying for the channel or service in some form.

The thing being stolen is the advertisers ability to advertise, which in turn pays for the platform. So, it is stealing from the platform.

Also, if you take a quick look at the pamphlet and throw it away, that's the same thing as looking at an ad and ignoring it afterwards. You were still looking at it, so the ad did its job.

Btw, don't get me wrong, I also use ad blockers for a lot of things. But I do pay for anything that I use for a good amount of time, like Youtube, video games, movies or music.
