It’s not a dev tool, it’s designed to force you to stay with the Windows environment by trying to regularise users to a proprietary intermediary management system.

So more unnecessary middle man trash designed to tie users more permanently to their OS choice. Nothing new then.

Yes, they should step in, and direct those parents not the rest of society that isn’t a failure to their children. Maybe letting your children engage in pornographic material should be against the law, not the porn that any reasonable person can consume without involving children.

Maybe if you aren’t fit to care for your children, you shouldn’t be allowed to have them.

The world isn’t made for children, where are their fucking parents?

If you’re going to use that word you should at least know what it means so you don’t sound stupid.

That’s strange, ignorance is supposed to be bliss.

Athiests don’t have a problem with Middle-Eastern Socialist Jews, the ‘Christians’ sure do.

He’d be back faster than a starlink satellite.

Google already confirmed they were causing deliberate delays on YouTube videos for people detected using adblock. Extending the enshitification is all they have now, sold their soul to steal a buck.

Huh. They really drill the capitalist shill into you with that American “education” system, don’t they?

As long as a company is making a profit all costs have been covered, all employees, suppliers, and producers have been paid. Those in society who have the means and the will have ensured this product exists and has been paid for and I thank them for their contribution. That allows the rest of humanity to enjoy the socialisation of their contribution to the masses, who have not the means or the will, but who ensure the rest of the system is available and working to support everyone’s ability to contribute.

If you want to argue that employees, suppliers, or producers aren’t adequately paid, then why is there a profit margin?

That’s like saying Walmart trying to stop the small percentage of people who shoplift is the epitome of corporate greed. YouTube is a paid service. It costs money to run

They make a profit, operating costs are covered. You do know that right? Profit is surplus? You’re not so poorly educated to not understand the most basic principal of capitalism?

Am I defending Google?

Yes.

Trying to monetise the fraction of a percent of users who actively avoid your advertising and wouldn’t engage with it or purchase products from the advertisers even if forced to watch them is the epitome of corporate greed. Pathetic, money grubbing billionaire corporations deserve to burn to the ground rather than be supported by the societies they leech off like the cancer they are.

127.0.0.1

For every person using an ad blocker there’s 10,000 that don’t. Going after the fraction of a percent of perceived lost revenue from people who wouldn’t click your ads or buy your products anyway is just the epitome of greed.

Only until there’s one left. The second to last one keels off this mortal coil and immediately all their combined wealth disappears due to lack of demand.

I wish. But the wilful ignorance and deliberate belligerence of their parents would prevent you from showing such useful gore to their crotch smear.

Yep. It’s hard to feel sorry for anyone who got grifted, who knew that buying the equivalent of a graffiti’d up CVS receipt would turn out to be worthless.

It would be nice if we as a species could get from one generation to the next without needing to see an example of every failure first hand.

A fool and their money are soon parted.

Of course the only people it doesn’t benefit is the end consumer because instead of trying to get you to click one ad they want you to see 1000.
