Uniquitous

You know the ads have gotten ridiculous when the advertising company says "hey, maybe we ought to cool it a little."

Probably something that could be dns blocked. Hopefully anyway.

Yeah, could very well be. But corporations gonna corporate. If you don't like the product, don't buy it.

Five dollars' increase. FFS

Good. This is just theater for the knuckle-dragging Republican base anyway. The dems who went along with it can eat a bag of dicks.

Because broken as they are, people still come first before AI. Or they should, anyway.

And then they wonder why their sales are tanking, when it turns out AI's can't buy their products and everyone else is too poor to even consider it.

This seems deeply, disturbingly fucked up. "Fuck working with real people, who have their own goals and desires out of a career, we're just gonna use an AI since no one can tell the difference." It's fucked up on multiple levels, not least since the fashion industry was already full of broken people before AI hit the scene.

If for some reason you can't use a full-on ad blocker, "SponsorBlock for Youtube" is another Firefox extension you can install. It doesn't block ads per se, but it will auto-skip segments of a video that have been reported as ad content. Kind of a grassroots thing, like reporting cops on Waze.

Hopefully this motivates a competitor to emerge.
