That “usually nothing bad happens” will have to do.

It’s not just that. Most people here are into far left, anti-capitalist bs and people don’t care to deal with that

At least you are self-aware

Then repeat this process every few months the device decides it needs to ask the password of you again. Not playing this game

I always thought the reason they don’t take any action, is exactly because adblockers would then work as the guy above described.

Companies posting ads would eventually become aware, that a not insignificant portion of viewers don’t even see the ads they are paying for. I don’t see how this won’t cause a backlash… i guess youtube calculated that in and thinks it’ll be worth it any way.

I’m a student; Unions are great; the meme is just shit

Make something that’s actually funny?

…which would be valid

I was turned off from the moment i saw at least most romance characters look 40-50 years old. Who the f wants those kinds of storylines with someone old enough to be their mom?

Superbly shitty meme, wow

He got his money back and a 5dollar gift code. Shit happens

I mean, what’s the context here? I doubt doctors are sterilizing people because of some evil agenda. If she was already undergoing explorative abdominal surgery, I’d wager they found a pathology that requires her reproductive organs to be removed.

If they didn’t get her consent during the preoperative information, then that’s malpractice and a part I don’t understand. However, I’d assume the surgeons wanted to spare her from having to undergo sedation and surgery again at a later point in time, just to get her consent.

Definitely a you-problem. There don’t exist a dog too stupid to learn to sit on command. Them barking to wake you up continues to happen, because you allowed it to work in the first place.

If a dog barks and sees you raise… well of course they’ll continue that behaviour in the future, if it’s successful.

It’s not an exploitation for monetary gain, it’s an exchange of services. Do you think those massive servers they got are running for free? Aside from hardware, facilities and electricity, they have to pay programmers, accounting, management, cleaning services, etc. etc.

People have to get over the fact, that this is how the world works - and also the only way the world as we know it can work.

If they aren’t above illegaly selling your data, then aren’t above illegaly collecting your data, even if you ticked a little “I do not consent” box. I fail to see, how this change can be anything but positive.

Targeted ads has become such a boogey man, that you all can no longer view these things rationally. There is nothing wrong with companies wanted to get their products advertized to the most likely customers and there is nothing inherently wrong with a platform using your activity to see what ads you are most likely interested in.

The potential issue with it, is your personal data leaking everywhere and being assimilated by questionable companies who could create a psychological profile of you, that knows you better than you know yourself.

If they truely only let companies target you, by presenting them an internally grouped collective of likely customers in which you happen to be included, then there is absolutely nothing wrong with this. Same goes for the newest change in how chrome manages ads.

It’s not like i’d have a choice. I envy anyone who can just wake up during the night for anything short of an absolute emergency.

When my puppy was smaller and not yet potty trained, i did sometimes wake up to poop on my floor… but i was awoken by my alarm and not by the smell. So I ain’t even noticing pooping or puking in the middle of the night.

Or: you explain it to them. If they are not a complete asshat you might even be able to teach them something and you cant blame newcomers for peaking on the dunning kruger curve.

Dude, if my dog pooped in my room during the night and by some miracle i woke up to notice that, there is no way in hell I can raise the strength to stand up and go clean

I can’t believe i never thought of this.
