That joke didn't fly, either.

More like a disconnect between the moderators and reality.
Prerequisite: you == The asklemmy community
Well, you got what you asked for. As one is not allowed to ask real questions here, you get the "thought provoking questions" you wanted. No sympathy or pity from my side for wasting a good community name for a socio-psychological experiment.
Why not just go to sources that don't have a real leaning? OK, they are hard to find, but they still do exist. Try the BBC for an English-speaking source, or ARD and ZDF in German.
Whoever invents sich a thing simply underestimates the target groups' ability to analyzes this and in a not-so-far future will filter such things out.
There are many things on Windows people don't like: Preinstalled bloatware, Edge, Microsoft spyware. As you simply cannot disable them under Windows, the only way not to use them is to upgrade to Linux, it seems.
Hmm, I don't see ads on YT, but neither do I see any adblock warning. Looks like I'm striking the right balance.
Not all of us do.
If you don't care for the looks, just put it down where needed, and fix it to whatever is around with cable ties.
I did the same in my daughters shared accommodation. Officially they had wifi in all the student rooms, but my daughters room basically had no reception, so I ran a cable from the other end of the flat where the router was down the staircase into her room for a local AP. When she moved out, it was a quick job with a pair of pliers to get it out again.
As an adult, I thought of learning the bagpipes. Just to annoy the neighbors.
My childhood dream was playing the organ. But anything like that was financially far out of reach back then.
Reminds me of my packets from California. 15 mins drive from the sender to the DHL center (15 mins in the center of LA, so they are really close). Two weeks wait in the DHL center. Transfer to the airport. Another two weeks wait at the airport. Flight to Frankfurt, one day at customs, next day here. Each and every month (it is a subscription service).
Look at the charter. This group is not for asking real questions, as in "Does anyone know..." or "How do I...", but for "though provoking" discussion starters. A bit like r/showerthoughts on reddit was. For that, a name like "asklemmy" is wasted.
