They’ll likely do what other platforms have done and let you X out the ad til you unpause

Yeah seriously… the fact that only 2 or so commenters correctly understood the headline reflects poorly on the community

- Comment on Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI. 8 months ago:
They were. One user got so upset he live-streamed himself individually deleting every post and comment he’d ever made. Reddit restored it all right after.

- Comment on Firefox will support at least 200 new extensions on Android this December 11 months ago:
Try it with a mouse scroll wheel. It’s a completely different feel compared to Chrome. I was on Windows if it makes a difference

- Comment on Driverless Cruise car runs over woman hit by another driver 1 year ago:
I disagree. Human drivers kill over 40,000 Americans a year. If there’s an alternative that kills less than 40,000 a year we should take it. Ideally mass transit but America seems to like cars.

- Comment on Why We’re Pulling Our Recommendation of Wyze Security Cameras 1 year ago:
I actually had this glitch or something similar. Was staying with a friend when I got an activity alert…but it was from their camera. IIRC all it gave me was a still frame of them standing in front of it. I never bothered reporting it to Wyze. I figured it was some rare glitch because I had given my friend that camera (it was now on their account and not linked to mine).

- Comment on Lyft now lets drivers prioritize matches with women and nonbinary riders 1 year ago:
Conceptually, sure. But I imagine it’d be a potential lawsuit over workplace discrimination. Especially if the female drivers are being paid more for the same service.

In Chrome, start at the three dots in the upper-right corner and go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Ad privacy. (Or just type chrome://settings/adPrivacy into your address field.) The ad privacy page lets you turn off Chrome’s targeted ads.
