Please explain to me how does blocking sponsor segments harm creators?

I hate modern ac software for automatically banning VM usage. Don't know if this is the case with BattleEye, but coming from someone who uses a VM as a daily driver - This sucks.

"I'm sure YouTube could even merge the ads into the content stream so they are unavoidable."

Who is going to tell him?

Noone in this chain implied that

Never go full fanboy... try actually understanding what people are telling you, why fail safes are good idea, why redundancy systems are implemented, etc.

Your anecdotal experience of "I drive in fog and rain and its been good" means nothing...

They are profitable because they data mine the shit out of you. And now they want you to pay them so they can continue doing it.

Shorts suggestions are based on what you watch. If you spend less time watching rage/OF bait shorts or just scroll past them, they will show you less of these. 95% of my shorts scrollpage is from creators and topics that I'm interested in.

Soo looks like you just like to watch this type of content if this is what the app is serving you.

I just can't understand how regulators all over the world allow these things on the road. How the fuck do you allow the release of potentially deadly (for everyone involved, not just for the user) software en masse for the public to beta test for you... This is not Diablo IV....

This is not how ot works though.

Modern internet-based video platforms like YouTube do NOT tell this information to advrrtisers, because the sponsor block ads have no contract with YouTube directly. They are paying the content creator, not youtube.

There's no way for sponsor block advertisers to tell how many people skipped their ad.

Enjoy your distopia and thank you for enlightening me of how money laundering, black market and kyc works. Keep parroting "security" and "for the kids" though ;)

After the first few times of me spilling coke, coffee, water and what not on my laptops and open case PCs I have it ingrained in me. Anything, ANYTHING goes wrong - plug that thing off ASAP. It's a learned reflex at this point.

Check out Obsidian ;)

I use the regular app and the seekbar was always available for me.

People are reactionary creatures. Feel bad for OC

Its your english

Ekshuliiii.. it should be Enshittificursion or Reshittification. Inception means something else.

I'll show myself out.

It's fine if you don't want to admit you're wrong, but please don't preach it to others, because none of what you said is factual. Speaking from first hand experience.

As if "search" and "query" are the only two legit get parameters lol...

Out of curiosity, what effort is needed to maintain ratio?

Lol, what a shill. I guess that's because the mafia follows rules?
