Level set: ads suck

Least they can do is to serve adfree videos

Now, corporations are greedy right?

Genuine question: What does Greedy Google do if we all install adblock on all our neighbors’ computers tonight?

I imagine something like “I do not consent to a search nor seizure of any of my property. May I reach into my pocket so I may place my phone in plain view? If my property is going to be seized even against my will, I still want to ensure everyone’s safety.”

Then repeat the no consent line as you place your phone on your dashboard or whatever.

I imagine this means your lawyer will have body cam footage of the double nonconsent and the judge will see you were willing to comply even with potentially unlawful orders so the justice system could sort it out in court instead of someone trying to fight it out on the street.

iPhone tip to require password to open:

• Hit lock five times

or

• Hold lock & at least one volume button

(Edit: ahh, this tip’s been given several times now, only new info is that either volume down or volume up or both will work)

It makes me feel a little better that all of them here in California are making at least minimum (as opposed to the sketchy “tipped minimum“). Buttttt minimum usually sucks (maybe $20’s OK living with parents?), so 10% is great man.

The yin and yang is great

Love it 🙂

You reminded me of this guy:

Canned immediately!

I remember the general attitude of folks who’d post on reddit claiming to be food service workers was very upset that people joked about them messing with food. So I hope that means it’s exceedingly rare.

I think they said they would bad mouth people out of earshot or something though!

Even for pick up when you’re not a regular?

Good on ya!

(I’m a firm 20% when I’m sitting down but I decline to tip when picking something up at least half the time. Definitely tipped 2020-2 though.)

Excellent

¡dia de los stormtroopers!

Introducing…

Oh, the year is 2100 and YouTube only plays on dedicated Alphabet-produced hardware (available “free” of course) with cam-proof screens? Storytelling will come back in style with a vengeance overnight!

…and then, with the passion of a man whose next meal depends on it, he pleads:

”like and subscribe.”

OK kids good night!

You can fool some of the people some of the time… right? :)

I’d expect nothing less than executives at a number of the Fortune 50 to be ruthlessly cutthroat, including when it comes to vetting the claims of their marketing teams.

(I know I’m speaking about studies I only assume to exist by the way, will have to research it later)

always be detectable

Maybe with some content ID system… but you’ve just predicted their 2025 update which we might imagine would go something like this:

Do we unintentionally use products we didn’t realize repetitively messaged us?

We’ll never know…

Just kidding, we can be sure it’s incredibly well studied given the billions and billions of dollars going into ads!

Interesting thing here:

YouTube’s top 3% of channels now attract 90% of total views, up from 67% in 2006. Even among those elite channels, average annual ad revenue is only $16,800 - less than a third of U.S. median household income. For the remaining 97% of YouTubers, reaching even that modest income level is nearly impossible given the platform’s increasingly skewed viewership distribution.

they would have had to release him

Maybe we could say he wouldn’t be in this situation because he could’ve responded to every request his company got and they could’ve provided all of the zero logs they had.

I believe Telegram just wasn’t cooperating at all which is wild! Such a Musk thing to do.

How much does it say these beans cost?

How does CamelCamelCamel display a price history if the price is different for everyone? Perhaps it’s inaccurate for some (Just hasn’t been for me the handful of times I’ve “had“ to use Amazon.)

And Amazon doesn’t price discriminate if they put something on a nationwide sale? So the bloggers can advertise that AirPods are at their lowest price ever?

I wonder how much investment it drives in Facebook to be a user who registered under an assumed name on a VPN with an ad blocker enabled.

Unfortunately, probably some.

It can be, although not necessarily:

Doomscrolling or doomsurfing is the act of spending an excessive amount of time reading large quantities of news, particularly negative news, on the web and social media. Doomscrolling can also be defined as the excessive consumption of short-form videos or social media content for an excessive period of time without stopping.

I’m familiar with the bolded definition. A bunch of little quick hits of dopamine, but nothing to show for it besides boredom.
