I’m even more baffled by your criticism that YT cares more about shareholders than creating an egalitarian society. Thats true of literally every business including the one you work for. YT never said they were trying to make society egalitarian. Where do you even get that shit from?

The pissed-off engineers that develop effective adblockers, for which there remains robust support.

Much like the west coast oyster monopolies of the 1880s that were scourged by oyster pirates, YouTube is fighting a losing battle.

PS: I take you're aware of the cord-cutting epidemic of cable television, yes?

Piracy, cable TV, cord cutting.

You’re throwing a lot of words together without making any argument.

YT is winning the battle against blockers as evidenced by the extreme vitriol toward them here right now.

YT are winning at business: they are massively successful.

YT are winning competitively. Just listen to the cries of monopoly around here. That’s how strong YT are.

YT won my business by making something I use every day and mostly can’t find a substitute for.

What are they losing again? They’re not even losing the ad blocker users, who clearly and obviously depend greatly on YT or they wouldn’t be so mad that their free ride is over.

Explain to me again how someone who writes an ad blocker gives you the idea that YT is supposed to be creating an egalitarian world? That part made no sense.

Nah, I'm good.

I think an athiest would have a better chance trying to deconvert a Catholic Bishop than I'd have getting you up to speed.

You can’t make your point. And I’m not impressed by this attempt to make it look like you’re just choosing not to because SWISH SWISH you’re just too cool for that.

Well, I certainly can't make my point to you. You have bested my patience, my fellow lemming.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)
