its completely unbearable

And, once they discontinue it, I hope someone creates an add-on to bring it back like they did with dislikes.
It's a bit out-of-scope, but it'd be a great SponsorBlock feature!
Yeah, the dislike bar used to be a thing. You could see how many dislikes there were compared to likes, all represented on a line below the two buttons. It was sort of like this image, except imagine the "yes" and "no" as a single line (but retaining their separate colors).
They're at least understandable (usually), but they're like 5-10 seconds behind the video (sometimes longer), and they can be difficult to interpret at times.
Honestly never seen that happen.
Most times, I see it used on ads, political figures, and Elon himself.
- Sue website admins -> Users find/ create a new site
The last time I had to setup a Windows profile (late last year on my then-new laptop), that was the case. Has that changed?
I recently blocked that instance, so who knows?
Being forced to be online to log in and forced use of OneDrive confuses new users just as much
You're not forced to use either of those, IIRC. Just set it up without connecting to the internet or without signing in.
That assumes every ad is exactly the same (or at least the same length) and at the same spot for every user.
Yeah, definitely not impossible. I had to install some TamperMonkey scripts to get Twitch adblock working, but it works.
You're right about the forums. While they're useful as smaller chat rooms separate from the "main ones" (for example, someone in a Discord server I know started a forum for fanart and discussion about a specific upcoming video game), they're completely useless as a replacement for traditional forums.
Also, like you said, the search feature simply isn't good enough to be able to efficiently search through all those forums. While Reddit's (and probably Lemmy's) search engine isn't great either, it at least has the benefit of being indexed by other search engines.
