United getting divided.

These aren’t 3-letter dictionary word .com domains Elon. Nobody will pay that on a service that’s devaluing by the hour.

I whitelist sites I support on UB. Unless that sites gets obtrusive then I block it entirely.

I stopped supporting Google the moment they forgot “don’t be evil.”

Holy crap, now that is causing massive damage to advertisers. I didn’t know this existed either. If everyone used it, the entire internet would collapse because most of it is for-profit now, unlike 30 years ago (when I made my first site in notepad).

1947, a candy bar was a nickel. 2023, how many candy bars can you buy for a nickel?

They are learning and not realizing it. Let’s put down the macroeconomic books and go back to preschool and exchange the dollar bill with an Oreo cookie.

Everyone wants your cookie. It’s rare. It’s the only one. You know you can trade your cookie for supplies to feed your entire family. So you keep your cookie clean, free of stench and prepare to trade it.

Only now, 76 years has gone by and someone stole your recipe and made an infinite supply of your exact cookie.

What will your cookie get you now?

Every time the government prints money out of thin air, your saved dollar gets worth less and less. War drum, stimulus packages, infrastructure, all of it. If they “found the money” by writing up a bill to print money instead of sacrificing the public with extra taxes, the dollar was devalued.

That’s why the “haves” ended up with all the money when they invested in non-fiat stuff like housing or invested it in stocks that will grow with inflation.

The “have nots” rented and spent every dollar they made.

I watch YT about once a week and usually an hour or less. Premium isn’t worth it for that low of use. Sponsors, I skipped, always. I’ve never once purchased from a sponsor. I also skipped subscribe crap manually (I’m not logged in, I can’t).

SponsorBlock just does it for me, kinda nice. The creator gets paid by viewership so I have helped when I watch.

Lemmy isn’t seen by 98% of the public so my mentioning it hardly spreads further awareness. What did spread it was YT themselves cracking down. It made news headlines and my own mother asked I come over and install one.

YT Streisand Effected themselves. They demanded we not use them and got more people using them because of it.

Now, my mom won’t see Google ads anywhere, not just YT. What a smart move because I know there’s probably a million new UBlock users.

Didn’t know about SponsorBlock until all this started. So many just found out ad blocking is possible.

I’m 45 and I just made an illegal Uturn. Politics is trash meant to divide for the purposes of distraction.
