Tiny hands, tiny tongue. He barely noticed it.

Drumpf can’t even hold a glass of water, I’m supposed to believe her can hold anything to smoke out of? He’d probably put the lit end of a blunt in his mouth and bite.

Good ole Chode

I’m in. I’ll eat a whole case. A butter dipping sauce out maybe just some buttercream frosting would go nicely.

I will now learn to speak this word fluently and use it often to announce my farts.

Excuse me, I must retire to the veranda to tune my bumbulum.

And how much of that content was provided at a loss?

YouTube has always had ads. But less usage meant less cost. If 40% are using ad blockers, more ads will be shown to the 60%.

There is an unspoken agreement that if you consume you allow the ads. By using ad blockers, we’ve brought a lot of this on ourselves.

That being said, my views are very fantastical. Profit is the ultimate driver and very few (wiki who doesn’t even use ads) are only hoping to cover costs.

There needs to be a balance.

There is still a non zero cost associated with storing and streaming this content.

This is why we need consumer focused privacy laws. Within our lifetime there will no longer be free content or we will not be able to escape ads (Idiocracy style).

Lots of unpopular opinions in here and I’m willing to add mine to the mix.

I’m well aware of ad blockers, and use them occasionally. I also block trackers like pendo through DNS entries on my router. I pay for YouTube.

But I also allow ads and welcome them.

I remember when you couldn’t get email unless you were in a school or paid for it. I remember a time when the fastest Internet loaded images line by line. I remember an Internet without videos, or even GIFs.

Services cost money. You use the service, you are the commodity. I’ve accepted this. A few ads don’t kill me and it helps to support providers. I’m quite numb to ads.

Yes they are tracking me and selling my data, but what does that actually mean? I get more targeted offers. More targeted ads.

We’ve become scared of being tracked by corporations, but for what reason?

Providing content costs money. The days of the free Internet will quickly come to an end without advertisers.
