Or when it stops working or they change things so adds get thru and I'm like omg I can't use the internet ABP better fucking update their shit soon or I'm going to die

I get a lot done around the house when this happens. No Adblock means I just can't.

[Gryffes]

That's why you use uBlock origin.

[Niiro]

Same, I can't recall it ever "breaking" since I started using it.

Ann Coulter pulls out of a speech at UC Berkeley due to threats of violence. She was offered another time slot at a later date when there would be potentially less students on campus and a lower chance of violence erupting.

[Zetanio]

Shocking.

[Krandor]

At this point are these people scheduling stuff at Berkeley solely to help push the narrative? They know it'll never actually happen so they get some free press from the cancelation and make the left look bad.

In other news apparently the whole youtube ad situation is just getting worse

https://www.wired.com/2017/04/zeroch...uality-raters/

Word on the streets is that youtube is pushing content creators away to ram streaming tv content from major studios down our throats. Just like they've been doing for the last couple of years. I don't know if y'all noticed, but you don't get the same recommendations like before, yt unsubscribes for w/es reasons, glitches galore that affect content creators, and instead you get more jimmy kimmel, that libtardqueer fallon, and ellen degenerate. So it doesn't have anything to do w/ censorship and all this hateful content and shit.

[kuronosan]

That's how I took it. I've been getting tired of this shit for months as I look for my subscriptions buried beneath their "paid content" bullshit.

Google just doesn't get it, and most companies suffer from the same problem of forgetting who made them popular in the first place in the name of money.

Don't get me wrong, they should be allowed to run their game how they want. I just don't think it should be based on shoving out the people who brought you the success. They did it with Android already.

[Niiro]

Youtube operates at a loss, not sure what success you're referring to.

[Yuri-G]

originally used to describe stuff like a car backfiring triggering PTSD in a war vet, now hijacked by libtards who use it to try and censor stuff they don't like by applying it to everything.
Book has domestic violence? IT NEEDS A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TRIGGER WARNING OR SOMEONE MIGHT HAVE A MELTDOWN READING IT.
Man talked to you without being asked? TRIGGERED.

Ironic/nonironic use on the rise to such degrees that using it either identifies you as a feminist crazy or a memer.

I agree that being triggered/trigger warnings has gotten out of hand, but let's not make light of PTSD in domestic violence victims k

Just curious, what does PTSD mean to you? (Or anyone else for that matter) Like, who suffers from PTSD? (very honest question)

[Krandor]

PTSD has a relatively strict definition (for a mental condition) if what you're talking about is actual PTSD. Realistically almost anything could cause it, though historically it's most commonly associated with veterans, sexual assault, and violent situations.

But the US also sees PTSD diagnosed at something like 7 times more then the rest of the world. Interpret that how you will.

Cuz we ain't punk bitches and fight in 7 times more wars than the rest of the world. HELL YEA BITCH

[Byrthnoth]

Google is an advertising company that provides some relatively expensive services (like YouTube and Maps) to get a better picture of you as a consumer and other cheaper services (like Gmail and Docs) to just "keep you in their ecosystem."

If YouTube isn't giving them much useful information about you and can't be monetized effectively, it might get sold off.

Google gets paid by advertisers, not users. They have always done a good job serving their masters while not sacrificing the user experience, but when push comes to shove I think they will go with the money.

People always complain about how Youtube is going to shit and how badly it needs a competitor.

There's a damn good reason why there are no competitors to Youtube, because it's a terrible business model that's not making money.

The amount of content and functionality they offer to literally everyone free of charge is mind-boggling.

That wasn't really making fun of victims but making fun of all the virtue signalers who pretend we have to do all these things to help PTSD victims that said actual victims themselves wouldn't call for. That and all the people being taking drama queen to a whole new level

It's really "free". You're the product.

I should have clarified since it was after your post. It was a general "you." Kuro gonna disappear.
