I was more aminable when I was paying $14.99 for YT Red Family plan. At $23/mo it’s pretty expensive and I want new features/controls for that money

Ya, just an infrastructure where their ads have to go into blocks within the video (inserted wherever but tagged as such)

Generally an Unpopular opinion, but I think this should include creator ads (or at least an option per creator to support them by turning on their own ads).

Defaulted to off , I don’t want to watch a random videos AG1 ad. That said there are a couple creators I watch I would be willing to enable theirs strictly to support them.

Because if I’m paying for ad removal it should be complete ad removal.

haha, ya… Such well placed money there.

Its crazy how much further ahead Europe is in Privacy Protection.

All these companies need to be held responsible for what they do with our data, and what it costs them when they lose control of it. Either figure out how to safe guard it or suffer painful consequences. Or perhaps only store what’s necessary for us to interact.

Almost like we should focus on making the US better / competitive instead of trying to succeed by blocking others.

Don’t we get a ton of components and raw materials required for EVs from China already?

That’s cool!

For now at least, I block as much telemetry at the network level (DNS level) using pihole.

Annoys my wife and kid at times. I try to explain why and what it means but convenience is king unfortunately.

I believe the biggest thing that will hurt MS is moving to subscription. The vast majority of users aren’t gonna wanna have a forever fee when they buy a laptop/PC

Ya, a PR nightmare for the next 15 minutes until the next unbelievable thing comes along and the ADD nature of people forgets windows is watching everything they do.

Installed and we’ll see how it goes. Thanks for the heads up!!

And as long as people keep subscribing to them, they’ll March right along collecting that sweet money.

This was me :) live at about 900’ flew in for work, picked up my rental Jeep and drove up to pikes peak

Didn’t get sick but could walk like 5 steps at a time before needing to catch my breath. Hung out for a bit came down and went up to Longmont. Had a nice headache for a couple days.

Second trip out I skipped pikes, but also acclimated way faster. No headache, and got in some great hiking.

Well I’m interested in this world (sailing/ living on a sailboat) so I’ve been following fairly close. I don’t believe there’s any known non aggressive way to stop them. Stopping hasn’t been shown to help that I’ve heard/seen

I just ‘deactivate’ people that share news on facebook. I use FB to give my family (who don’t live near me) and friends a small slice of what’s going on in my world. I don’t post daily/weekly but I only post stuff I create. I also use it for groups/market place since most forums went to FB groups.

I expect the same from my connections, and unfollow anyone that just forwards things (news, memes, other posts). This little bit of management has made my FB feed ‘ok’

From all the reports I’ve seen so far, they are in fact not attacking humans, just the boats. Unless this has changed.

Stay classy Humans…

Did it this last cycle. Didn’t renew, don’t miss it. In fact the announcement of adding more ads into the video service I didn’t want, but had to pay for to get prime lead to me just leaving.

I think you’re one step too high…

Humans seem to thrive being controlled by authoritarian figures. If you look across the planet these people are getting voted in by someone.

The first one was God.

Sounds like this would at the very least remove $20-30m in revenue (according to the article) not counting if the copyright holders decide to go after them.

I think it puts them in a precarious situation overall.
