That's basically two full sentences, just missing some punctuation /s

True enough. Okay, yeah, my bad. I mean you can't make out a single sentence from the article, from this screen grab I took while attempting to read it.

Switch to Firefox. Enable uBlock Origin, NoScript and any of the automatic cookie options selector things.

Mmm yeah that's better.

I mean I always could've done it, but you gave me the motivation.

Needs an “accept cookies” banner and “log in with Google” popover.

Safari on iOS here, plus an ad blocker and NextDNS. I don’t see any of this nonsense, just the gaming content.

"Videos is here" makes me angrier

[–] Dasus 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I hadn't even noticed, lol.

It clearly says that yes. Although, if it's just shit design from fonts and whanot, it might they now self-host a service and call it "Ladbible: Videos", which then would mean it isn't necessarily grammatically incorrect. For instance asking "do you think Youtube Shorts is a good service?", people would answer "it's shit" instead of "they're shit".

But the font really does make it look like "Videos is here" is completely it's own thing and I hate it.

I figured that. But most video platforms just say video, without the S, like Prime Video.

That is true also, yes
