deep dish peat moss posted:Also googling "youtube.com [whatever]" is way better and more effective than actually going to youtube.com and searching there, lmao Google will still lend me a hundred video links that a ) aren't a video b) aren't the same subject matter I clicked or searched for c) a 2 second clip on some lovely website or d) some wiki for an action movie I never watched. Going straight to YouTube makes it slightly less unlikely to find the wrong thing.

Prettz posted:pretty poo poo considering I started using youtube for all my music listening like 10 years ago after p2p dried up If the Internet goes out my only options for media are on an ancient external hard drive with all my highschool music and a tiny bit of college music and some weird movies and things I downloaded I keep meaning to get to but don't even when its my only option. The worst part of YouTube for music dependency is when it's algorithm steers you directly towards the exact same stuff over and over and when it steers you towards not music when you're clearly on a music tear.

Vegetable posted:I wasn’t kidding about government subsidies for youtube premium. it would be totally justifiable if congress decided to pony up for this There should just be public utilities for the main internet services everyone wants to use but nobody likes seeing monetized since it inherently makes those services worse. People need a place to yell online about the news. They need a place to share pictures. They need a place to share videos. They need a place to post or share links to stuff people want to see or talk about. Build two less missiles a year and spend the money on hosting all the basic poo poo we wanna gonna do online apparently.

Demons are all about living it up and having a good time doing all the stuff people enjoy doing. Angels are absolutely the ones making ads. They work for Big Christian proselytizing, which is just advertising for their religion. They also work for God and one of his ten biggest rules is "don't make ads of any other gods who aren't me." Officially Adam and Eve were kicked out of Eden because of the whole eating fruit from tree of knowledge thing... But scuttlebutt is they were actually kicked out for installing an AdBlocker that Lucifer offered them.

drat I guess people will just have to Google "watch [show] free" and click a link to start streaming it instead. There was a brief moment where streaming was more convenient than illegal streaming sites but now the illegal ones actually have to compete with each other on better interfaces since they all have the same all content. They're better than paid streaming sites now

Lol remember when internet companies were threatening to start charging for bandwidth used, but had to back off when they realized the house of cards comes tumbling down if people are forced to start being vigilant over ads, bs, and all the unrequested data sent around.

So I just stopped trying and have never bothered to go back. Yes I am a quitter at most things in life. So a long time ago you were too dumb to paste one link into an auto filter list and gave up forever and just deal w ads ez ept for when you can use a friends account to avoid them good job

I used Microsoft visual basic back on the day to make some cool GUIs for my copy pasted AIM progz, so I don't see why devs can't copy paste their rusty c sharp rubies or whatever into it the same way. They probably have a Microsoft visual advanced by now

Milo and POTUS posted:Again, I don't see any way there's significant percentage of people even using the things. You gotta understand even using extensions on your browser at all puts you in the "weirdo" level of the computer literacy iceberg. Also seems like the adblocking crowd would make for a bad audience anyway, these are the people who hate ads enough to do something about it and finally sneaking some past them doesn't seem like it would do you any good.

Anyone you see itt complaining about 3 strikes or ads sneaking through have been sentenced to advertising.

Seems like it'd be better to channel that hate at companies and advertisers. If people are too afraid of being exiled once people find out they make ads, then they might stop serving them to us.
