okay Google, how about this. I already pay for premium, but Im too lazy to disable my adblocker for just your site, can we just call it a draw and move on?

hah. no. not on a platform where the lead thinks serving you a good dozen unskippable ads to test your patience is a fun little experiment. sure is the year of big platforms trying everything to get rid of users

In cases when viewers feel they have been falsely flagged as using an ad blocker, they can share this feedback by clicking on the link in the prompt.

and you can bet that ill (ab)use that. might as well make it just a bit harder for them

I probably would have dismissed it without thinking about it, but now that I know I'm on board.

If I've learned one thing from the Reddit situation it's that civil disobedience towards increasingly hostile social media is easy and satisfying.

The big jump in interest rates is forcing all of big tech to pivot pretty hard.
