LOL. Like every tech story from the US is about enshittification. too funny.
I've been noticing lately that 800lb Gorilla specials have been cutting to ads right between the setup and punchline of a bit. Mad fucking annoying.
I don't know how people watch YouTube with ads. Premium or ad blocker, otherwise it's a nightmare.

Ublock Origin in a Firefox fork and PipePipe with Sponsorblock on mobile. I'm perfectly ready to just export/delete my Youtube account and move on if it stops working.

Am I the only one still not seeing ads on YT with Ublock?
YT becoming shittier and shittier with ads is why I've changed to downloaders instead. No ads.

Right when the guitar solo hits
I don't find Nebula to be an adequate replacement for youtube, but if they ever figure out how to keep me from blocking ads, Ima gonna change my mind.
Use grayjay.app, they have it for desktop too. No ads, sponsorblock built in, and has multiple platforms in one place.

Already experiencing it, can’t even follow along a simple shot explanation
Eh this needs to go in fuckai
A guy I know started selling AI push notifications.
Your app signs up for his service, and he uses what's essentially ChatGPT to find the best time slot to send you custom push notifications. That's just his third party service working with limited data and system access.
Just imagine when Google and Apple start selling that as a service integrated to the OS.
