No ads, no masters.
There’s never been a worthwhile server with unskippable or unblockable ads.
This is where you write a companion app to load the ad in a separate instance while feeding it false camera input data and continue watching in peace.
Well, that’s certainly one way to reduce our screen time. I’ve got shelves of neglected books that need attention.
I’ll quit using anything that does that.
It’s your government issued app, required to access services like hospitals and social security.
I’ll quite that government
Where you gonna go without your government issued passport?
Seriously? Seek political asylum eslewhere.
Not so seriously? Go SovCiv
I’ll put a bomb in my underwear
How cute of them to think that they’ll have access to camera or that I got a camera in the first place
I don’t know if this is real but if it is, this method of forced watching something you are not interested in guarantees to create negative emotions towards that brand.
That’s how they get all of the Luigi’s.
Yeah but the C suite is so far removed from reality they don’t know, or don’t care to know about it. It’s not like you have much of a choice anyhow. They’ve bought up the competition, drove out the mom and pop shops. Their mentality is “yeah, but what are you gonna do about it?”
Well why are they paying for ads if there’s no competition
Probably to burn money i guess
So, all ads.
At that point, retro gaming is where it’s at, or piracy, or board games, basically ANYTHING else is better than that.
Sadly it does feel we are very close to this… 😢
Blink detected… Added 10 more seconds of ads…
I would just stop using whatever the service is. For as long as I can that is. Not long before our new dictatorship might force us to watch ads for crucial services.
The amount of times I’ve been watching youtube, it queueing up ads, and me just pressing the home button to switch to newpipe is immeasurable
Why arent you blocking ads?
Revanced is a game changer
Better than AdGuard, Ublock and all those?
Those don’t block ads from same domain, network wide. Dns adblock will block 90%+.
Device specific for ublock origin and adguard plugins, can’t put that on a Nintendo switch.
This will cause riots, lol.
If trump isn’t causing riots, this won’t either.
That’s an immediate uninstall.
relax, when the industry puts this into practice (not IF but WHEN) they will stick it very slowly in us until we get used to it and don’t even realize that we already accept it quietly without complaining
Unironically they’re basically already doing that by having ads longer than the skip button, as you trade off ignoring the ad for the full duration and paying attention when you’re intended video starts for paying attention waiting for the “Skip Ad” button.
Even just that short 5 seconds is enough for an ad to get embedded in your brain with enough repeated exposure.
Maybe it’s because I’m autistic but that has the opposite effect on me. If I see your ad enough to remember the product that just means I’m going to avoid that product like a fuckin plague.
You’re not immune to advertising and propaganda. Nobody is. Ads almost never work by directly making you think ‘i should buy this’. You’re even less immune to advertising and propaganda if you tell yourself you are, because that’ll make you less interested in working against it.
Is this an ASD thing? That would make a lot of sense for my own behavior, if so.
Same. If I’m interested or looking for that product, I’ll do my research.
Just got a new pair of chukkas from a company I’ve never heard of (Thursday) based on research. Not ready to spend $500 for some boots, these were great quality at reasonable price for me.
Same. It’s a great way to get my hatred
That’s not even an install. A non-camera/video chat/QR scan app demanding permanent (!) access to the camera is a big No no
“Please watch this 5-minute advertisment to uninstall the app. Don’t break eye contact.”
uninstall your OS
“Before you delete your OS, would you like to know about the hot singles in your area?”
That’s a good way to make some of us dedicate the energy to building and flashing custom firmware.
Banking apps that need the ads to authenticate you for some reason: “Nuh uh!”
rant
Seriously, why the fuck do they depend on everything in your system to work? On my debloated Android there are like 20 different invasive packages that I can’t disable because they break my bank’s app.
This is what credit unions are for. If you have an account, you own a piece of it. There are no billionaire investors that don’t even use the service to ruin everything.
Unabomber right?
Is it time to put googly eyes on my testicles again? Do I have permission?
You take them off?
Yes
