- Comment on YouTube is deliberately crippling Firefox on ARM systems 11 months ago:
I wanted to get premium and while i was considering it they had 2 price increases.
No thank you, bye.
I am of the mindset: i want value out of my money, subscriptions that let you own nothing immediately falls out of my requirements so i need it to be a price i’m willing to pay. Which is a low price.
I cancelled spotify the moment they added €1 to the cost, all it gave me was a play button and a bunch of bullshit i don’t care for like a year in review. Dude, i was there…listening to that music, i already know what i played so i don’t need you to tell me.
But that’s just me and i’m the odd one out it seems.
I compare spotify like this; i bought a cd from the discount bin for €5 and got to play that for a whole life and i’d be happy if it was all i had. Spotify opens up do much music to you which is really cool BUT i used to buy a single album a year and copy that to a new cd/mp3 player to add it to the previous boughr cd’s. So my cost went from €5/€20 a year to €11 a month while i own nothing. In my head that’s automatically a waste of €112 euro’s that are spent with no real returning value.
The biggest value most subscription services offer is: they’ll stop literally pestering you with ads.
- Comment on Google admits it's making YouTube worse for ad block users 11 months ago:
Because the big channels will get a significant drop in views which lowers their sponsor pay and willingness to work with them.

- Comment on Relative size comparison of social media platforms (December 2023) 11 months ago:
So that’s why Instagram is the way it is, i assumed it was fairly small but it has attracted a rather toxic userbase and i don’t actually enjoy it anymore.
It used to be a place where i could share my joys and people with similar interests would follow me because they enjoy my joys too.
But now it’s just tiktok, at least i assume seeing it’s all reels and loud noises.
- Comment on Apple has seemingly found a way to block Android’s new iMessage app 11 months ago:
This reminds me of the blackberry ping days, everyone and their mom acting like a diva for having a sidekick blackberry just to use ping.
Those were better days financially.

I’m red green colorblind and never had an issue with the traffic lights colors.
I have had days where the sun was so bright i could barely make out what light was on.

Let them keep this shit up and you’ll find out.

Keep it up, dumbasses.
Catch the hint…the harder you try the harder we do. There’s no trying from our end.

You’re probably right about this.

I thought the same thing, turns out all i can do is become burnt out.
- Comment on Popular porn sites now display unproven health warnings thanks to Texas law 1 year ago:
I often decline their cookie bull, they’ll just keep asking with every new page i load from that website. Preferably with a pop-up that covers 2/3rd of the screen.
- Comment on Popular porn sites now display unproven health warnings thanks to Texas law 1 year ago:
Please don’t the 17 attempts for me to surrender my cookies are already exhausting my willingness to use the web.
- Comment on YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers 1 year ago:
They probably expiremented an answer to that question and came to find it was: “not enough”. So now they become desperate to get out of the reds.
- Comment on YouTube Premium family plan price update ($17.99/month -> $32.99/month!) 1 year ago:
Twice as frequent and half as skippable maybe.
It’ll be like having visited a bad pornsite in the 90’s and your screen will end up being ads stocked on top of ads.
Might be the end kf the platform if that actually happens, there’s already an insufferable amount of ads as i keep getting these double ad blocks in a row.

- Comment on Don't forget to tip your gas station 1 year ago:
I scan my own groceries and i’ll keep track of the hours to eventually hit them with a “freelance register operater” bill for €55 an hour.
As i’m freelance i need to pay 49% taxes on that and another x amount for insuring myself in case i have a work related accident, i’ll be left with roughly €20 an hour which is a little over my actual wage as i’m apparently so skilled they want me to do the job so it must be worth it to them.
I think everyone everywhere should pull this shit, even if it’s just to make a point. Show them how much they rely on free labour while living in big houses and driving fancy cars lol.
- Comment on YouTube is now fully blocking ad blockers around the world 1 year ago:
It made an attempt for sure, a cute one at that 🤣
- Comment on youtube getting more agressive 1 year ago:
Every report i’ve passed claims yt is running in the reds for years, assuming this is true i can understand it.
But i’m still very happy adblock works for me on pc, the ads i get on tv are too many, too often.

I already canceled and started sailing the high sees.
I’m just looking on from the sidelines to see them burn.
- Comment on Gen Z is cooking more and shopping less as they struggle to achieve financial success 1 year ago:
Our groceries cost as much as ordering in food did 5 years ago.
We barely did as it was too expensive, the future needs some drastic adjustment otherwise some bad shit is going to happen.
- Comment on What kind of upbringing makes an incel? 1 year ago:
A digital upbringing it seems. Self taught, doomscrolling with no one around who loves them enough to tell them they are slipping away into darkness.
- Comment on outube bans 3D print channel after manually reviewing its videos as suitable for monetization [Louis Rossmann explains the censorship] 1 year ago:
I just want to point this out: Louis Rossman is trying to fix this in a way, by allowing people to subscribe to a person and not one of their platforms, so if they get banned their new platform of choice will show up to all of their subscribers instead of them having to try and move their audience to a new nearly unused platform.

Yeah they are pretty lame, with the fly to the weird stuff a couple times, get reward, head shot “surprise” enemy and off to the next.
- Comment on And now Bezos is trying to inserts ads everywhere 1 year ago:
Nah, it needs to be brought down a couple notches.
It’s bad.
The porn is legal, just so we’re clear on that lol.
- Comment on And now Bezos is trying to inserts ads everywhere 1 year ago:
My phone is 512gb and i use about 80 myself, largest part is porn(yeah i’m aware, it’s bad…very bad,i need some time).
I’ve decided to start pirating again as my device has plenty of space to keep my music.
The biggest thing is getting all lf the music, so nowadays i’ll just play what i have and sometimes go: “oh damn i forgot about billie eilish” for example and make a mental note until the next time i’m at my computer with some time to spare.
Slowly but steadily decreasing my porn stock and replacing it with music i would’ve bought as cd’s.
- Comment on And now Bezos is trying to inserts ads everywhere 1 year ago:
It’s not that i don’t want to pay, it’s just that their “service” isn’t serving me and thus not worth the money.
Give me my cd’s back lol. Let me own what i purchase.
