  • Nice.

  • It's my computer, not theirs. Watching a video isn't the same as taking money, you seem to have a lot of confusion on this point.

  • Oh, I consent to the content. Just not to the ads, so I stream the content and my software skips the ads for me automatically. Couldn't be simpler. Puts me in control over what I do and don't download onto my computer. I'm not buying anything.

  • I don't consent to watching the same ads over and over. I don't consent to them being downloaded onto my computer against my will. You consent, that's fine. You enemies consent to sending the richest corporations on the globe your hard earned cash so you can avoid the same ads I don't want, and they still send you ads. I don't know why you like that stuff, but I don't. I'm in charge of what I do and don't download onto my computer.

  • Not really.

  • You're trying really hard, for days and days, trying to make me feel guilty about skipping ads, and it's just not working. At all. But you persist. It's weird.

  • You're being a bit weird about this.

  • You can talk as much crap as you like, watching a video without ads isn't theft.

  • No, because that would be theft - taking something from its owner with the intent to permanently deprive them off ownership. Nothing is removed when you watch a video.

  • Skip 'em with an ad blocker for the win. Better experience, and you don't have to pay megacorps with megaprofits your own money.

  • The learned experience that the cautionary advice other people gave them was inaccurate in their case is very real.

  • Life goals.

  • I had my last tin of chicken soup last week and it was lovely. I've frozen the rest of the turkey because I've had enough for a while. Beef lasagne tomorrow night.

  • Vice President Trump has to get on board with President Musk's policy platform in public even if they disagree in private.

  • I love the blank one. It's great for everyday use apart from passwords! Maybe I need to come up with longer word-based passwords with spaces so they're easier to type. https://xkcd.com/936/

  • They're not spending ANYTHING like 50% on the tech work. Reminder: one of the most profitable companies on the globe. The huge profit comes from the HUGE gap between their costs and their income. So no, it's not proportionate at all, and it's gullible for anyone to pay them to reduce ads when they could block them for free.
