YouTube's ‘War’ on Adblockers Shows How Google Controls the Internet (www.404media.co)

Another great article from 404 Media highlighting the power that the tech giants have amassed over how how we use the internet.

This brings me, I think, to the elephant in the room, which is the fact that Google has its hands on quite literally every aspect of this entire saga as a vertically integrated adtech giant.

This extreme power over the adtech and online advertising ecosystem is one of the subjects of an FTC antitrust suit against Google.

That's getting harder though, at least in my experience. Circa 2010, it was music and shit everywhere. Now it's slimmer pickin's, it seems.

I've tried torrents but those seemed to all be dead ends, i found another website that uses some backdoor from a streaming service and the file info is actually correct but you get songs 1 by 1. Which takes a lot of time.
