Oh huh, I've been using Chrome + ublock for ages because the ads kept getting through on Firefox even when the blocker was up to date. I figured they were just being more lenient on Chrome just to get me to use their browser. Guess it was just a coincidentally usable setup, we'll see if/when it stops working for me now.

A tangled skein of bad opinions, the hottest takes, and the the world's most misinformed nonsense. Do not engage with me, it's useless, and better yet, put me on ignore.
I don't know why, but I don't get ads on YouTube -- instead I get 15 seconds of a gray screen and eventually "skip ad" will appear. I think I'd rather just have the ads :\

I get the same badly translated AI voiced online gambling ad before every YouTube video.

I've blocked it at least a dozen times and every time the info says it's from a different person in a different country than every other time.

Bandcamp recently got sold, and half or more of the staff got laid off. If you have anything on Bandcamp you want to keep, I'd make sure you have a download of it.

I've got some bad news about Bandcamp's new owners 😞

I use(d) them a lot too. When I can't get stuff there, I use Qobuz. As far as I know they don't pay artists as well as Bandcamp do/did, but one of their stated goals is to be ethical about this, and they certainly pay more than YouTube or Spotify.

Yeah something like half the Bandcamp staff were laid off, including all the people involved in setting up their union.

Well, to be fair, Bandcamp can't do a drat thing about the music I have bought from them that I have sitting on my phone and my home NAS, and if/when they go bust it will still be there.

I'm mostly seeing complaints from people on Chrome or Chrome derivatives like Opera. So it's really just :google: squeezing its own userbase for eyeballs and I guess just hoping people are too lazy to use an independent browser :confused:

I have a copy of all I've bought and Bandcamp going away doesn't break that.

Sucks that they got sold though. The internet was a mistake.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

Was listening to an album playlist and started getting the ad block :nyd: popup on every new video. I could still X out and hit play manually but gently caress that, I just became a proud member of the Vivaldi army :patriot: Just have a window sitting on my 2nd monitor for youtube now and so far everything's :thumbsup:

It took me maybe a week and a half of Spotify with ads before I started paying for it but for some reason Youtube doesn't seem worth it.
