I was about to argue with you and toss out a bunch of ad hominems on you, but then I looked it up and by golly you’re right. I’m one of the 10,000 today it seems.

When cars first started being mass produced it wasn’t just Ford doing it. There were like 50 manufacturers, big and small.

Most interested in HDR. Game was super washed out and it was so distracting I stopped playing. Did it improve?

Immediately thought this was a Cosmos DB wrapper.

I pay $110 for 2000/2000 fiber. In the US.

Could be, maybe. Or maybe not. Not sure. But the thing for sure is that forcing the diversity reduces the quality of the model.

Is there any moderation in this joint?

Qantas. Qantas never crashed.

Then the errant gamma ray burst sneaks in for the kill.

Exactly. I don’t care much for Windows bloat, but if 100% of games run on Windows and even 99% of games run on Linux, I’m sticking with Windows for gaming. It’s just that simple. If that ever reverses, then I’ll switch to Linux for gaming.

You will never get the sympathy for YouTube that you’re looking for. Not as long as the ads keep being so blatantly offensive and irrelevant, and while they continue to dangle their power over the users and content creators, who ultimately make them what they are.

No one cares about their hosting fees. You’re right that it’s expensive to keep the necessary servers and bandwidth, but you’re wrong that people will care because of the lack of care YouTube has shown. On the other hand, paying for something like HBO Max, for example, is a thousand times more justifiable. Look at the novel content they actually create. They also host that content, but that’s not why people pay.

I think people go to the ends of the earth to block ads that are offensive or irrelevant. Some people block any ad because of the history of offensiveness and irrelevance that ads from the majority of services have been. Ads can be those things for lots of reasons. Too many, too long, too often repeated, actually offensive, annoying, distracting, insulting to your intelligence, conflict of interest, against the grain of the content they infest, just to name a few… But instead of advancing that front, services like YouTube would rather just cram them down your throat, and then block you if you object. Ultimately YouTube needs users. Nothing works without the users. The ads only even make money because of the users…

They should be giving us massages and making our stay as pleasant as possible… instead they are power-tripping because they think we need their bullshit, but we don’t.
