So long as it's publicly accessible, Youtube has 'plausible credibility' when it talks to advertisers about impression numbers. Remember, we're not the only party YT fucks.

This is how you effectively combat the interests trying to kill libraries, filesharing and the public commons in general. Continue normalizing the activity, as it makes law designed to attack it all the more odious and unworkable. The bad guys lose when cultural attitudes rally around free information exchange. The key to that is being public and vocal like the dev.
How many Youtube employees would be assigned to frontend/adblock sabotage efforts? I'm wondering whether the law of diminishing returns will be observed, or will the company have sufficient resources to maintain the shenanigans indefinitely.
If it's the latter, Youtube can rest assured my resolve will match theirs, until the damned thing gets paywalled...
We're talking about P2P networks bro, not land management. Pouncing on the term like a bot would, simply to post that link, is just sloppy.
The LARPers on c/Piracy are finally taking a break from shouting 'high seas' and discovering the tragedy of the commons!
Gabe is right, but what a lot us fail to realize in Lemmyland is that it increasingly doesn't matter. $BigCorp is spending hard to turn it into a technology issue.
Mass market subscription services won't offer ad-free precisely because of the mass market exposure available to advertisers. You need to look to niche services instead, where a critical proportion of subscribers (say 30%) won't tolerate ads as opposed to 1%. Maintaining an ad-free option in such a case is basic business sense. Not only that, you'll find the ads-on tiers are more respectful of people's attention and intellect when it comes to ad content and presentation.

I call it North Korean syndrome. (They don't know any better.)
Is the BOTW emulation experience at a point where I can get 30-40fops consistently on a 2015 Hawaii series AMD card?
Tell us how bus maintenence far exceeds that of train carriages. Just seems highly counterintuitive.
Id argue it's worth maintaining a long term record of the site's censorship activity, accessible on the open web.
Do all your posts on that account get shadow-banned OP, or does it happen per-sub?
