Yeah, as good as Youtube’s algorithms are at pushing hardcore right-wing content on completely fresh accounts in like 3 clicks, my accounts have been around for so long that my recommends tend to be on the money most of the time.
I discover multiple new channels each month from my recommends whereas 10 years ago I’d occasionally check a channel that a friend recommended or was embedded on a forum post
They’re just being dicks considering how tiny the Firefox userbase is
I fully expect to have to be fingeprinted, DNA tested and retinal scanned to access cOnTenT in a year or two

Oh shit, you’re right! I just saw a bunch of wingdings looking symbols and my eyes clouded over. This’ll save some time in the future, thanks!

Next up: adblockers make baby Jesus cry
Here’s hoping uBO manages to stay on top of the adblock arms race after this shit gets rolled out to everyone 🤞
It seems to be happening to people regardless of the browser they’re using. Google’s currently only testing the new measures on random accounts
Probably related to the issues I began having yesterday with Revanced- suddenly, videos started to infinitely buffer after around 1 minute of playing. I ended up having to update + reinstall Revanced entirely. Looking at the Revanced subreddit it seems more and more users have started getting affected by the same issue these past few weeks.
Google’s definitely doing something.
That’s actually nice to hear. I just assumed it was a Kinguin-style operation from their pricing
I don’t have a VPN, which is apparently a requirement to torrenting games, movies and TV shows in this day and age.
I do still torrent things, but I try to stick to older/obscure stuff. Guess I’m averse to getting disapproving letters from the copyright police
It’s even better when you click through all the captchas and countdowns and get that juicy, juicy link only to be greeted by “This file can be downloaded by Premium Users only”
I usually end up buying from resellers in cases where I’ve been waiting for one of the big Steam sales for a game, only to discover the price not discounted as much as I’d hoped.
Or, in the last case where I used cdkeys.com, I waited until the last day of the Steam Summer Sale to get a game but found out that game’s discount had already ended, presumably due to timezone shenanigans or something. Went to check cdkeys and the game was still there with the discounted price so yeah, I ended up getting a grey market key.
The latter option does leave you with the game in your Steam account though, which is infinitely more convenient than downloading a repack made by some Russian somewhere in 15 parts from 5 different filesharing websites
…I mean, I assume. It’s not like I’ve ever bought a game… or several games… from resellers
Oh, definitely but it’s shockingly bad when using YT without logging in
