All I know is YouTube has more advanced ad delivery methods than DNS blocklists can filter, so you need client-level blocking. This only works if you use browser plugins or 3rd party client apps. YouTube’s first party app will always have ads.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, this is just my understanding.

- Comment on Japanese Government Calls on Sora 2 Maker OpenAI to Refrain From Copyright Infringement, Says Characters From Manga and Anime Are 'Irreplaceable Treasures' That Japan Boasts to the World 2 months ago:
I just don’t really understand the point they’re trying to make. Japan is responding to OpenAI, which is a US company. They have the same copyright laws. None of the parties involved are arguing have any kind of edge over the other w.r.t. copyright law.

- Comment on The time and expense of commuting is theft, if that job can be done from home. 4 months ago:
I agree up to the extent of the numbers. I think $50/hr is feasible if we make drastic changes to our economy. $150/hr simply cannot work with the country’s current number of workers and overall productivity.
