That’s fine. I will either continue to use adblockers, pay, or stop using the internet outside of what is required to function in society. I already refuse to use anything that has decided to go ad supported without the ability to block ads and has a price I’m not willing to pay.

If small (or large) businesses require the mass collection of personal information by malicious advertisers to exist, then they don’t derserve to exist.

Yes, OP said all advertising. You mentioned the main problems with ditching all advertising. I added to the conversation with a poasible middle ground that addressed the worst parts.

Targeted advertising, which requires collecting personal information without people’s knowledge, is what makes online advertising the absolute worst kind of advertising. That could be addressed on a way that could allow other less malicious forms to exist.

Any change just for the sake of change will be detrimental to the functionality. Constant change means there is never a point in time where the overall functionality can be reviewed for stability.

A swiping motion and muscle memory for tapping are two different things. It took a while to get fast with my thumbs even though I type fairly fast on a keyboard.

Getting on the national news doesn’t make following youtube drama worth anyone’s time if they have no interest.

We only had one ocean when we bullied Mexico into giving up territory.

We took over multiple islands both east and west of the continental US, which are now territoties and the state of Hawaii.

So no, oceans didn’t stop us when we rrached both coasts.

They should rerelease Civil War (2024) and do a double header with the original Red Dawn.

Red Dawn first of course.

No

Disliking a suit and tie isn’t some revelation to “normies”. You are not a radical for thinking that. In fact, all the little things that annoy you probably annoy other people too.

So why do we need to go along with it?

PSA = Pirate Service Announcement?

Imagine how many things that you have to do that only exist because of ridiculous social expectations on what someone else thinks is important.

Being different in a way that would work if conformity was less important shouldn’t be a disability.

but then in the recommended section it does not show someone who actually knows shit about fitness and steroids etc how would they know.

It is kind of funny that you think the recommendations would be informative instead of some shill peddling the same “you can do it with 5000 calories and exercise” bullshit. A rabbit hole is going further down the same hole.

It isn’t about people better than you. It is about idealized and generally unrealistic body standards.

The new guidelines, now introduced in the UK and around the world, apply to content that: idealises some physical features over others, such as beauty routines to make your nose look slimmer; idealises fitness or body weights, such as exercise routines that encourage pursuing a certain look; or encourages social aggression, such as physical intimidation.

These are not videos about getting to a healthy weight and exercise routine. “Certain look” is a crappilly phrased way of saying unrealistic body standards, but that is what it means.

The headline does describe the article. The article has more detail about the motivations and nuance of why certain weight and fitness videos are being promoted less to children.

The platform will still allow 13- to 17-year-olds to view the videos, but its algorithms will not push young users down related content “rabbit holes” afterwards.

If they included rabbit hole in the title, it would still be necessary for a lot of people unaware of the term to read the article to find out what that phrase means.

But a better system would for paying creators would be one of attribution and reward, where everyone can read whatever they want or stream whatever they want, and artists would be paid based on their number of views.

Which would be enforced through copyright…

It was fine when the limited duration was a reasonable number of years. Anything over 30 years max before being in the public domain is too long.

That wouldn’t be shooting two guns at the same time.

Shooting two guns at the same time sucks whether it is at one or multiple targets.

You can’t look down the sights on both at the same time, and the recoil is goofy because you can’t line both up with your body if aiming at the same target. So you are either shooting one blindly or two awkwardly.

Calm down Satan.
