You wouldn't download a torrent

Ah, pardon my misunderstanding. I thought the two paragraphs weren't related.

I know this isn't necessarily helpful, but 404media has an account wall, not a paywall. You authenticate by email without a password.

Idea: script that connects and disconnects from a VPN over and over at set intervals to send "fuck you" in Morse.

At least there are more removals than additions.

Depending on the comfort level of your spouse, asking them to use their account would be best.

One of the forms of trust in Marketplace is how long the person's Facebook account has existed, how many friends they have, and whether there are photos. If you create a burner account with no photo, no connections, and "Joined Facebook in 2024", you'll have a rough start.

I have had people show up who don't match the account and they say it's their partner or whatnot, never phased me.

If you do decide to make an account, push people to rate your interactions after you make a successful purchase. After 3 messages are sent back and forth, you get an option to rate the seller and buyer. Just tell them you rated them well and would like a rating as you are new to Marketplace.

I do hate Facebook for what it is, but even here in Canada where Kijiji was once king, Marketplace has taken over. I care about the used market (and the positive effects on the environment) too much to pass it up.

He's probably the guy at my work who replies all to tell people not to reply all.

My threads ads are either corporate posts or some random lady posting how a black Santa statue at her mall is the most offended she's ever been in her life.

The Plex feature is trailers for other movies, like when you go to the cinema.

(Not trying to defend/excuse fking Amazon lol) They're easy to skip, though. I imagine these will not be skippable.

Also, people have paid to have Plex play them trailers for years, as it gives a cinematic experience.

It's not for me, an ad's an ad.
