Either way, you have a good one. I’m out of this conversation.
So even that was inaccurate.

“I’m such an expert on technology that I don’t even realize when I’m talking to someone else online!”
Way to miss the point
“I’ve complained about everything and sometimes I’m right” is not the flex you think it is.
Old men also yelled at Newspapers, Radio, Books, Trains, Airplanes… Anything new or different than what they are used to. If you’re only argument for something being bad is “I don’t like it, and other things I don’t like are bad” you might want to reassess your argument.
“It’s a shame anything has to change. The Sun has changed its position in the sky and I don’t trust it one bit.”
Well I think you’re old enough now to learn that not everything that gets created will be in the exact format that you specifically prefer. Some things will be made with other people in mind as the target audience and if you want to enjoy it you’ll have to engage with it in a way different from your own personal preference. It’s all part of being a grown up.
Why post it to youtube in that case?
“Why isn’t this text?”
YouTube has more accessibility and reach.
“Then why isn’t it an audio file?!?!?!”
Fucking what? You seem to just be upset that this exists in a way people will access.
-Written in text, in a long thread full of text
You only seem to care about the fact that this is a video, not about the petition at all.
That’s because people are generally fucking morons who can’t, or worse, won’t fuckin’ read.
“Books are for fucking morons who can’t, or worse, won’t fuckin remember”
Strong “books are ruining society” energy.
I personally feel no need to get sponser block because:
Everything the ads do to force you to pay attention it to (like not being able to fast forward) makes it easier for ad blockers to detect and block.
Everything the ads do to demand your attention (by being annoying as fuck) drives people to block them.
The turning point for me is when banner ads added sounds. I would tolerate and ignore the flashing lights and the fake “games”, but then I encountered one that any time my mouse went over top of it an emoji screamed “HELOOOOOOOOO!!!” at me and I couldn’t download an ad blocker fast enough.
It’s never enough for these assholes unless they have all of your attention all of the time.
This is easily solved by not using 3rd parties and tracking data for ads. If the ad was just part of the page (similar to an ad in the newspaper) then ad blockers would not be able to detect them at all. A YouTuber saying “before we get started, this video is sponsored by [relevant related company]” does not get blocked by ad blockers.
However, in order to do that websites would be responsible for the ads they display. If they don’t do their due diligence they won’t be able to pass it off as “we’re not responsible for it, it’s our ad company that put it there.” They don’t want to be responsible for the ads they show, but they want you to be responsible for the ads you don’t watch.
Advertisers will always keep pushing things trying to find the limit where people will just barely tolerate it. Then when they push it too far they cry “no fair!” When people stop putting up with it.
Are they trying to get a mistrial in order to avoid the fallout of a potential “not guilty” verdict as well as the potential fallout of a “guilty” verdict?
Fascist countries are well known for their spotless record keeping easily accessible to the public.
Right, the US isn’t going to murder you, they’ll just deport you to some other country you’ve never been to and that country will torture and murder you!
How many tourists to Mexico are having problems with cartels vs how many tourists to America are having problems with ICE?
Putin kills people all the time. Everybody knows it was him but he’s still in power.
It doesn’t matter if this keeps the story alive as long as no one faces actual consequences for it.
