The way ads are displayed effects how effective they are which in turn effects how valuable they are. More people turning to adblockers reduces the effectiveness of the ads and devalues the advertising method as a whole, more adblockers being used, lower effectiveness. YouTube then has to resort to putting in effort to combat adblockers which itself costs even more, ads have to become more intrusive to retain their value so YouTube can maintain it’s own servers and pay it’s content creators and it becomes an endless cycle of “fuck you I want your service for free and you are trampling my rights for trying to profit off me using your product”. In return all YouTube asks of you to obtain an ad-free video watching session for a month is $4 ($22/month split among 6 users)

What data privacy?

Seems more like an ESTO situation

One of the important skills you learn as a science fiction fan is the ability to understand what fiction means.

That’s why Google announces the end of things unlike other companies who will just silently let them fall into obscurity. They don’t want to mislead people

It does on 11

Try installing fresh from USB. Typically works for me on any machine that says it couldn’t install on

YouTube music is great, give it a go

I’m lost in Google’s sauce and it’s great

Lol what would I have made up? That makes no sense

No because I’m not gonna argue with a short asshole who just makes up shit to try to win internet arguments.

Yeah you know what. You are just a shit human. Good luck my guy I’m not gonna waste my time with your vile bullshit

Amazon Warehouse and delivery drivers unionizing is not similar to the situation that the YouTube Music workers are dealing with and aren’t the same as what the Alphabet union is but I’m glad you feel like undermining alphabet users achieving what they have but you are fully into recognizing two Apple retail stores barely passing and neglecting to mention their constant Union busting and propaganda. Thanks for supporting workers!

Yeah I read this article and other sources on the subject that give more details. Google has said they support them organizing but it’s not up to them. As far as I’m aware Google is the only tech giant that has an employee workers union

Apple is literally lobbying congress to allow them to use slave labor. Congress was looking to pass a bill that would block the sale of products manufactured through the use of slave labor and Apple literally called a meeting with them to “talk about it and see how everyone feels about the situation”. Scum

Doesn’t appear so, seems Google is okay with them unionizing. According to a ruling from a while back Google is required to bargain with the union just as much as cognizant is but it appears cognizant is the one which is unwilling to bargain with the workers. Google’s track record with workers leads me to believe that they have no issue with workers unionizing.

And Apple is out there dual wielding both issues while adding a human rights violation as well

What happened?
