I'm not saying it's right, but this is what happens when you're sold a physical item compared to the license to view an item, which is what we're now being sold. It's bullshit, but to say what you did in your op is categorically incorrect.

Not accurate at all. If I buy a Blu-ray or a DVD that can't be taken away from me... But if I "buy" a movie online (namely from a streaming service) my access to it can be removed at their discretion. It's happened plenty before, and as mentioned elsewhere in this thread, is happening again on PlayStation.

Article about it for those interested... According to this it does not still contain malware, but it has been the target of multiple attacks through the years that has in turn compromised many PC's. The attack mentioned in this article was suspected to be a state sponsored attack by China, not sure about the others.

I mean I'm probably gonna get down voted for this but........ The chips thing I can understand to a certain degree. My ex loves crunchy foods. She would bite into them with her mouth open so that it made the loudest noise possible because it was satisfying for her. In a quiet setting that noise can be extremely distracting.

The perfume thing... Some scents give me an outright headache if I'm exposed to them for too long. I haven't experienced it with perfume yet, but I have with some air freshener scents. So in that regard I get it.

Would I go to my boss about it? Nah. I'd explain my position to the individual and ask that they chew with their mouth closed or maybe use one less squirt of perfume, but I wouldn't report them over it. That's just sad.

It doesn't matter if the average person will see it or not. What matters is that it can be seen, as shown and described by Medusa matters, at all. What part of that don't you get?

COLLUSIONNNNN!!!!

So then you want government regulation?

And how did they game the system, exactly? By hitting refresh?

Edit: nevermind, I can't math.

VACATIONS ARE KILLING US!

Probably, but I don't think you can easily melt it down and sell the raw materials like you can with metals... Just a hunch

TL;DR... Google is limiting how many rules that extensions can have. Ad blockers need ~300k to run effectively, Google will limit them to 30k in Chrome citing "privacy and a light weight user experience" as the reason. This change will effectively make ad blockers in chrome all but useless. The solution will likely mean switching to more privacy focused browsers, such as Firefox.

Nah I'm good fam

Damn ...

The only time this dynamic no longer holds true is if YouTube believes their position is so entrenched that there is no more competition and they can squeeze the users all they want (end game enshitification).

Uuuhhh... Pretty sure that's where we're on now soooo....

Do you only comment in images of some sort?

Wait .. did you just tell me that McDonald's uses gourmet cheese??

Guessing you live near a warehouse then. My brother lives in Phoenix and gets everything next day usually. My problem is I'm not near a major hub. Which is fine... I am ok with the shipping taking a week or so... But lately for me it's taken weeks for anything to even leave the warehouse. Which is absolutely fucking insane

How do you guys find new content? I would never even know about half of what I've watched if it weren't for the ability to browse the offerings of the service

Honestly that looks like Amazon... And for the past year that's been my experience, too. Everything takes weeks to get to me, it's ridiculous.
