I guess some VP of marketing was going for their quota and their end of year bonus.

Maybe they were experimenting with measuring how many ads it would take to reduce the number of viewers?   There's only one way to find out....

Reminds me of that line from ready Player one where they can fill up to 80% of a users field of view before inducing seizures

Youtube is now a pile of steaming horse shit... and I am full of shit too because I can't stop watching it.

Odysee/LBRY Vimeo are very well done, they deserve more attention.

Well, forget it. Ordering is gone, all hail the algorithm.

Ordering is alive and well. If you aren't paying, you aren't the customer. The algorithms are ordering you.

Sold out to the globalists.
They don't need the ads income anymore, or, everything became an ad.

Since I use my $75 a month Canadian 'unlimited' cell plan for EVERYTHING, 3 weeks of the month I am stuck with 57Kb/s download speeds. For this reason I have no choice but to use youtube-dl,  so I hope it continues working. I do have ad blocker anyway, but I never really 'watch' youtube. I mostly just say youtube-dl -f 22 which gives me a 720p video. This is good anyway because I like to leave a little room left at the top of the screen to see if I get new messages. Funny thing is youtube does not know I watched stuff so it continues to try to give it to me. I really should not be mentioning this, but the bottom line is the data link is active more of the time but per day I am putting through the same amount of data. What this means is I see things a bit later than I would have with good internet, it is a bit sluggish to browse, and I can't do live interaction. Also I could have just connected my phone to my computer using usb. I do have 2 computers and also another one low power one I use to download overnight sometimes. So I modded an ASUS RT-56U router to openwrt and installed the iphone usb connection stuff. In the end I decided to bridge the physical lan to the usb link instead of NAT. I did this to eliminate a NAT step. The router NAT uses the router cpu which slows things down opening new connections. This means my network is basically on the phone's personal hotspot segment. Doing this is good also because you can put your computers in standby and then later resume them without reconnecting your phone. Also being on the phone segment allows you to mount window shares and push things easy in and out of an iphone to the computers.
