There are no certain filters. If you see the message, it's 99% of the time other adblockers/addons/maybe even browser settings interfering. If you literally have stock Firefox with uBlock you will see no ads.

I've also made an application for something like this. The only way to change this on the app side is to route all Reddit calls through the app server itself instead of doing it on the browser, essentially making the app a complete proxy. The only thing it does is increase traffic requirements and require everyone to host their own instance.
An addon to disable CORS just for this site is really easy and imo the most sensible approach.
There's an addon for Firefox to disable CORS for certain sites. Need to use that.

I like to live dangerously and leave my /s' at home.
Yeah no wonder that was only in a sci fi movie, that really just sounds too unrealistic.
I mean of course YouTube is popular. User-generated videos have always been popular (even pre-internet, like home videos on TV etc), but it's never been the case that storage and bandwidth was cheap enough to not operate a website with videos at a loss.
The only ones being able to operate such a site are entities that have lots of spare cash. Otherwise, if the site gets too popular, it'll have to shut down or become unusable because of having to limit access behind paywalls or similar, hugely stifling its popularity and likely killing it.
Google created a very good service with YouTube that no one else could compete with because no one had so much money to "burn". They kept this up for years to a point where it didn't really make sense for neither creators nor viewers to want to go anywhere else.
And now there is a lot of good content on YouTube. The content is good because creators can actually live off the YouTube payments, thus being able to spend a lot of time on the videos. It will thus stay popular, because creators will not start risking their livelihoods on any other platform.
While it's fine to criticize Signal in that instance, I hope no one discards it because of that. Things don't have to be perfect to be better alternatives, and Signal is so far along to be a good alternative that if you would personally, idk, insist on only using Matrix or whatever and refuse to use Signal, you'd probably be contraproductive for the whole privacy and openness thing.
It's fine to prefer something else but I think it's positive to be fine with using Signal too.
There is no public iMessage API that people can pay to use. Beeper (or rather the code it's based on) reverse-engineered the iMessage protocol and server APIs and they simply make the same requests as the iMessage app on iOS would.
I mean theoretically it would be possible for people to use apps that are already cross platform, like Signal. People just care less than the inconvenience of installing an app on their phone.
I mean, it won't be. It's quite clear that while the Beeper company may have good intentions on paper, they also definitely want to make as much money as possible. They aren't 100% bad, but also not 100% good either.
Considering they directly communicate with Apples servers and make money from that, I can't believe that their company will last long legally. The only way to keep Android users being able to use this will be to make it open source and go "underground". But I hope Apple will have a massive PR disaster on their hands while this happens.
https://eroscripts.com sometimes has script releases that include a dl link to the video as well.
Otherwise, almost all studio websites give you the option to download short 2 min preview videos in full quality. Go to https://sexlikereal.com (a portal/collection site) to find studios and videos.
Better quality makes a huge difference. Don't look at anything below your native VR headset resolution if possible.
