Aww I feel bad for SungWon but I'm glad he has covered the slow and steady demise of YouTube one step at a time. He should do a whole history of the reddit, twitter, other social media's enshittifications as a series of his skits.

The last one is like you took the word chess and put it in a blender. S-chematic, s-chtick, s-cheme, s-cholar...

I know you are talking about interactions between 2 people on foot. However, when it comes to automobile and pedestrian interaction, interestingly, the government of the Canadian Province of Ontario has a website dedicated to pedestrian safety, and specifically recommends walking on the side of oncoming traffic:

If there is no sidewalk on a street, or if you use a wheelchair or scooter and the sidewalk you encounter is not wheelchair-accessible street, you should:

  • travel along the left shoulder of the road facing oncoming traffic
  • look for a way to get onto a sidewalk safely as soon as you can

So some may apply this principle to a different situation.

There are some ads that I'm fine with, but they have to be clearly an ad, and related to the content on the site, not based on my previous interactions, nor using tricks to disguise ads as part of the content.

On documentation pages: sure just have a thing related to CS courses, on pirating and streaming sites advertise VPNs, on horny sites advertise horny stuff, and casinos and sports advertise gambling and sports betting. But DON'T make the ad look like a section in the documentation, like another download button, like another horny video on the site, like another casino game or segment of the sports analysis. If I want to explore the ad I will, stop trying to trick me else I will try to block and avoid you entirely! If I figure out that are you spending more effort trying to trick me the less interested I will be in the product you offer.

At least you can tell your boss "I'm working on it!", sit on your ass, and every 6 months add one more little UI or formula change which "finally stops adblockers" but is defeated within 3 days.

Well there's the one guy in Northern India who gets a peek at South America from between Madagascar and the African continent.

Off the top of my head: Stretch? Try to get on the plane later than most people? Take a sleeper train instead?

How is it while on the plane compared to after, are your knees hitting the seat in front? Maybe try a neck pillow to ease neck/head stress? Compression socks for foot, ankle or calf pain?

Alternatively, just use the share link on any function, and route it to the appropriate app. In this case, share a Youtube Link to the official app or to NewPipe.

That's right. We ponder orbs here, like civilized people.
