Everything okay, sweden?
It was temporarily useful until better alternatives arose... Which took virtually no time.
This is just an inaccurate timeline of events, not a difference of opinion.
Im very sorry to hear you spent 40 years of your life in a coma, but Im glad youre up and walking now.
What arguments could you engage with? Im not debating ideal lettuce to ranch ratios.
Only a child wouldnt have lived through the history, and so doesnt know it.
Its cute that the salad guy thinks he can reason out a conversation.
Its not immoral to violate an illegal requirement. Especially when they are already fully paid in my data. Do you need an adult to explain that to you? Im not paid to tutor kids, but Im sure you can ask your mother to hire someone.
If a company is writing illegal requirements, there is no moral backing for following them. They arent allowed to ask it of you.
Go get your sippie and blankie. This conversation is too mature for you to handle.
Thats such an incoherent response.
If you think it had nothing to do with the convo, maybe you shouldnt be chiming in on adult conversations until you can follow them.
This revisionist history is so wild I can only assume you are 16 years old and freshly playing on your first computer that you dont need to share
I am not obligated to sit dutifully with the volume up when ads play on my tv.
Nor am I obligated to allow ads to load within my browser.
They send the data they want me to display, down to every element on the page. It is fully within my rights to choose which elements are allowed to load on my computer.
And I wont be fuckin guilt tripped that the billion dollar company will make a fraction of another billion less dollars this quarter over my decisions to do so.
Youtube makes money off of adblocked users.
They send your watch habit aggregate data profiles to the number crunchers at alphabet hq, to sell off.
They make fuckloads of money off the free video content theyre given as well as the nonstop data stream of demographics data. Thats why alphabet bought it in the first place.
The ads are just bonus cash. They dont want to miss an opportunity to score more money by selling ad space in their data profile mines.
They are being fully compensated by me logging in and feeding them either free labor as video content or free money as data profiles. They can easily keep the lights on off that alone. They dont need more free cash.
Gambling on sports is one of the oldest types of gambling.
And, look. If you have the cash to spare, and gambling isnt a vice for you, it is kinda fun. Thats kinda the problem, its easy for the average person to get into it with some friends as a way to have more fun watching the game only for that to be the first domino.
