But do they have “canaries” that allow the user to verify they are indeed doing that?

…but why? What do they gain from it?

Good, I was starting to think it was only China spying on everyone :D

need to be more creative with aliasing than “ls”

soo…is FORTRAN greek? Or phoenecian?

…but what if I pick the one with all the furries? :3

Web 4.0: I can actually safely tip every dude who made a useful video/website 0.01 cents and neither side will have to pay any extra fees so it is actually worth to tip, it will just be p2p money using the processing power of the sender and the receiver without buttcoin vultures trying to fuck with it. That was what web 3.0 was supposed to have been 13 years ago, but between the technical limitations and those web3 shitasses’ greed, we’re left almost where we started…

Is that what they are trying to do? Push crap ads and try to kill adblock to get a little extra user share to pay for yet another subscription?

PS: let me add that I also watch TV and the balance between quality of content and ads and their placement is much better (yes, some countries are worse than others with this). I don’t know what they are doing in youtube ads, but it’s anti-human (not just the ads, but the design too: super slow loading, tricks you into clicking the wrong content). Like they don’t want you to “pay” by watching ads, they want to torture you until you subscribe, go away or get adblock.

The other day I visited youtube without any add-ons and concluded I’d rather do anything else than use youtube under those conditions.

Got it, don’t buy cars built after 2010.
