If it's on-loan, sure.

But this was straight up thievery.

Sorry, I don't know what that means, I don't have Tiktok. I'm talking about the whole article being vapid, just multiple paragraphs that are lists of apps:

It could be Class Dojo, Brightwheel, Bloomz, or TalkingPoints. It could be ClassLink, SchoolStatus, or PowerSchool.

Is it like brand name dropping to keep people's attention or something?

I stopped reading the article after it just became a list of apps. Felt like a thinly veiled ad, and if not, annoying af.

It was back in the 80s

Your comment reminded me:

I was looking up when the VP debate is in the US, lamenting the olden days when a bolded date would simply appear at the top of the results.

I'm just clicking results and skimming for the date in the 1st paragraph, but nope. Every site is like fucking recipe pages now with this nonsense filler.

Anyways, third result down, DDG gives me this verbose MSN bot-written trash. It actually listed all the dates (of which there were four), that were considered for the debate, but not selected. The 5th date listed in the paragraph was the debate date.

It was a perfect example of completely useless information that a human would never consider including in an answer.

But for people using YouTube to follow textile patterns, photoshop tutorials, repairs, etc. needing to pause frequently while still seeing the full screen is a big deal 😬

I use Ublock Origin and Firefox/DDG's "view here", so I think I'm safe..

Edit: Also, Google is greedy af, so it's def cumulative with existing ads; the article doesn't say otherwise.

It was June last year, and I was high, so I just know it was instrumental from this channel's playlist, sorry: (I think the twitch account is defunct now.)

Thanks, I'll have a listen :)

 

During the Reddit Strike, there was a stream on Twitch showing subreddits going dark. They played an amazing Japanese jazz album, but I've lost the bookmark to the YouTube vid.

Does anyone have it, please?
