Sometimes you see data and just know that the methodology had to have been shit.

The average response thought 30% of the US was in NY?! No fucking chance.

At this point. I just block anyone I see using the em dash. Will a few false positives slip in? Sure, but I’m confident that I’m blocking more bots than nots.

Not every penguin is a Linux penguin. Don’t you think if that’s what they were going for, they would have at least made it black, or gotten the shape right?

Like a boomer calling any game console a Nintendo…

You know what’s awesome about humor? Out of all the positive emotions, it’s the only one that is never fully eaten by depression. I think that’s kind of amazing about the human mind, that even in the deepest darkest pit, there is always some laughter to be found.

That is CLEARLY Mrs. Butterworth you uncultured SWINE.

Why tf would you put that much work into it? Just file a charge back and move on with your life.

I really don’t have the time, or the interest, to explain it to you; but all of the things you linked are either hyperbole, misinformation, or straight up fabrications; a very small amount of digging will show you why. But hey, I don’t work for Brave or care if anyone uses it or not. At the end of the day, use whatever browser you’re comfortable with.

Yes. That is in fact what I’m saying. Brave has built in blockers for ads, trackers, and cookies. It has a built-in VPN. It has a built-in Tor browser. It’s default search engine is DDG instead of Google. Considering Firefox defaults to Google for searches, you’re likely giving more data to Google through Firefox than you would using Brave.

Firefox is also a web browser.

Oh sorry, I thought we were making meaningless comparisons.

I love reposts, it lets me know who I can block for posting tired old shit because they’re not creative enough to contribute anything on their own, but would still like the validation and approval as if they did.

HBO knows the benefits of pirating. For many of their shows, they tend to be very lax about allowing trackers and streams for the first episode of a season, but then militantly take down everything for the second episode. Of course you can still find episode 2 if you know where to look, but the point is it’s harder. They want people to view the first episode and get hooked, and then pay for a subscription when they can’t find the next one.

You are using this meme wrong. It’s not for opposing views.

You’re going to hate this response, but if you’re already paying to avoid ads, you could get YouTube premium. I got grandfathered into it from Google Music and honestly I feel it’s absolutely worth it. It’s about the same cost as Spotify and comes with YouTube Music that works just as well. So I look at it like paying for Spotify with the added bonus of no ads on YouTube and being able to play videos in the background. I also tend to watch a ton of YouTube videos and often use them to fall asleep to.

At this point, it’s the only subscription service I still pay for. I’ve ditched all the others, but that one has stayed. Anytime I see someone watching YouTube without it, or without a good quality ad blocker, I’m horrified. So. Many. Ads. I don’t get how anyone can watch anything like that.

But I get it; most people would rather drag their ass through a mile of broken glass than pay YouTube a dime, and I totally respect that. Just sharing my experience.

One of the unlabeled buttons on the side of the screen should mute it. Whenever I find it, I’ll take a pen or sharpie and mark which one is the mute button for future people who don’t want to be subjected to that shit.
