Are you able to block YT ads on Safari + AdGuard? That’s the combo I have, and it did work for a while, but nowadays, all YT videos stop at the 1 min mark. Seems like YT is beginning to block people who use ad blockers.

@Hamartiogonic @EleventhHour I know this sounds oldfashioned but I pay for YouTube premium. Not cheap, comes with four additional members. The YouTube Music categorisation is 100 times better than the Apple Music categorisation and indeed: no adds.

I’m not by principle against ad blockers but the money has to come from somewhere.

Yeah, that’s an entirely valid option. However, 15 €/month is a bit difficult to justify, given the quality I would get in return. The family plan might make more sense though.

@Hamartiogonic without family members I wouldn’t do it, indeed. Side note; it’s very difficult to get it working properly on the computers of the family members.

It’s very sad that brain is diarrhea. Best of luck.

This level of toxicity is really impressive. Can I get sone sarin sauce on that plutonium burger, please?

[-] Link@rentadrunk.org 2 points 14 hours ago

If you check their comment history you can see that they seem to do this frequently with no real reason from what I can tell.

[-] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 1 points 13 hours ago

Oh, I’ve read lots of those comments. Truly fascinating stuff, and I think there is a reason. Here are some guesses.

  1. That user is suffering from some sort of mental issues. This seems like the obvious option, but I don’t think it’s the most likely one.
  2. It’s a social experiment. Someone is using it to gather information on how people respond to hostility online. I would love to carry out an experiment like that, but can’t justify the negativity that would be inherently involved in it. I’m really curious to find out how different instances, communities or even other social medias respond. Are some places more hostile or mature than others? What does it take to get your messages deleted or account banned? Who knows.
  3. It’s a piece of online art. That account is used for making a statement about online debates, hostility and the ways people react.
  4. It’s a personal goal. Who has the most downvoted account on Lemmy? That’s an achievement of sorts, I guess. This is the kind of stuff people do when they’ve already completed the main quest and most of the side quests.
  5. Plain old trolling. Sort of like point 4, but for entertainment purposes instead of questionable bragging rights.

Your continued and persistent, psychotic delusion isn’t my problem. Stop replying and making it my problem

Otherwise, I’m just gonna keep putting out your psychotic decisions.

Reply to this comment for more and the most insulting things you can hear. It will continue until you just shut the fuck up and stop replying.

Obviously, you don’t have that level of self-control, so I’m just going to have to give you horribly disgusting insults forever.

Unless you just stop. Otherwise it’ll go on forever.

I’ve pity your mental illusion. But not so much that I won’t infinitely shame you for it.

[-] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 0 points 16 hours ago

Oooh, free insults. Yes please.

[-] EleventhHour@lemmy.world -1 points 15 hours ago

You aren’t important enough to bother with.

[-] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 1 points 14 hours ago

You are appreciated the way you are. Here, have some flowers to cheer you up 💐🌸🌻
