A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Pretty much the subject line. uBO has successfully blocked the nag screen enough times that I can't play anything at this point. No preview loads, and the play button serves no function. I'd really prefer not to have to find content on YT, copy the URL and use Piped/Invidious, but this ongoing escalation is steeling my resolve to screw Google.

If you don't like "the pimp middleman in between", I can only assume you exclusively consume your entertainment on subway platforms and pay with dollar bills, which is great, and good for you, but I like to support creators and live a comfortable life. Some of my money goes to Bandcamp, Patreon and Google. You do you.

"Mole rat". haha, cute. I'm not worth your top-shelf stuff, trust me. Save it for your English teacher.

After Google killed all the competition with ad-free unpaid service for so long. Market manipulation with bait and switch.

Like I said - you're self righteous. You have no clue how much the creators and web as a whole lost due to the greed and treachery of this horrible company.

You are not worth anything. So keep patting yourself on the back.
