Although his opinion is unpopular and you may have not of heard of it, that fact has precisely zero to do with its truthfulness.

- Comment on EE warns parents against giving children under 11 a smartphone 2 months ago:
The emergency argument can be managed by not giving kids phone internet aceess (wifi or lte). Im sure there are products out there which fit that requirement
- Comment on Go already 2 months ago:
All it takes is one guy behind you checking his phone, getting distracted so he gets cut up to create another stop start system about 5 cars back.
You’re vision of the traffic jam is a fragment of the entire pie.
- Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers 2 months ago:
I dont want to offend you, but you’re a drop in the ocean when compared to the grand total of Youtube users.
Pretty much everyone I know outside of tech who has ever “showed me a cool video on Youtube real quick” has waited to load ads before showing me their phone.
If you get outside, touch grass and meet real non tech people pretty much all of them need educating on ad avoidance.

- Comment on I used an original iPod in 2024, and it was pretty fun 5 months ago:
Great analysis, you’re got it spot on there. It’s frustration from learning nothing new from something they thought would be interesting. That probably all boils down to bad the title of the article not being descriptive enough.
- Comment on I used an original iPod in 2024, and it was pretty fun 5 months ago:
Why do people get frustrated about that? Someone is experiencing something for the first time, it’s the circle of life.
I’m in my mid 30s and my wife bought a record player during the revival of records last decade. Do you think older generations than me found that frustrating? Personally I think it’s fascinating to watch technology go full circle generation by generation
- Comment on I used an original iPod in 2024, and it was pretty fun 6 months ago:
I’ve never understood it, but there’s a lot of gatekeeping when it comes to older products. Some people think they have more rights to enjoy a product they knew existed for longer and it’s really strange behaviour.

I won’t miss out on any gameplay story by waiting a year. I have a core set of friends, we’ll do just fine in a years time.
The only thing I’m missing out on is this dramatic period of instability
- Comment on Glorious Victory 6 months ago:
“too long”? The game is 4 months old.
Hot take, don’t buy any games which were only released in the last 12 months. Matured games are far more stable

Yeah it’s very clear to me the top creators make far too much money, I agree that business model is far more favourable
- Comment on As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play ads when I pause a video 6 months ago:
Objectively wrong.
YouTube could not be profitable showing one quick ad per video, especially if it’s longer content.
