Cyyy

FreeTube, newpipe etc. simulate being a browser and extract the video that way..if YouTube would want to add ads for this thirdparty clients they would have to inject them directly into the video feed.

when i was still in school, we always were allowed to used the computers from time to time to browse the internet. and websites had ads, hut it usually was 1-2 banners.. it didn't feel that extreme overloaded and i even looked at them. I thought they were uninteresting, but I didn't care much. this days i have a allergic reacting against all ads. going online without a adblock feels like websites slap me with a huge block of wood or stone directly into my face over and over and over.. it's crazy.

i really can't understand how this days people can still not go crazy without a adblocker.

damn, I didn't expected BugMeNot being that old. Interesting.

a lot of people do. there are greasemonkey scripts for it. some scripts even only delete certain old posts after a certain date so reddit isn't picking up to it quickly.

they gave me the option, but I'm not in the US so I couldn't even do it if i wanted. so why they even asked me to is beyond me. it's just bs.

"hey.. wanna buy our stuff?"

"yes"

"oh you're not from the US. sorry."

"but you knew I'm not from the US"

"meh."

i'm almost 30 and was using (or trying to use..) the site when i was around 14-16 years old. dunno when the site first released thought. i stopped bothering after trying countless hours for weeks to use the site.. but people just spammed fake accounts.

i know that site from when i was still a teen and even then it was 99% fake creds. finding just one single working login in a whole week was like finding a treasure for me.

it's the same bs as facebooks "brain armband" which just picks up signals from muscle activity and not really from the brain. but because the brain is triggering those signals they call it "brain interface". it's just bs.

i use chatgpt for coding (i can code myself but it helps with a lot of stuff), and if I wouldn't be able to code i would wonder why nothing works. but because i know how to code i know that chatgpt is often just writing horrible code which often does something completly else than asked. so i often think "screw this i do it myself" after countless trys to let chatgpt fix it.

girls falling in love with the main character and wanting to stay with him for the rest of the story just because they have met random.

and at the same time he only lets you use twitter with an account and killed thirdparty apps on mobile.

a lot did when the third-party kill happend. i mean, look at the current state of reddit. almost only bots and karma whores posting, but the real core community who really contributed content (bot just reposting stuff but creating it) is being less and less active.
