i can't sleep and i want to fight youtube
#been seeing posts abt them targeting adblockers and now specifically firefox users
#and i ended up thinking about and going down the mental rabbit hole of how they've obfuscated info over time
#like back when they added ads to yt they used to show where they were in the video timeline w a lil yellow thing
#and it was only one ad. that you could immediately skip if you wanted
#over time they made it so you had to wait to skip. and then they made some ads unskippable
#and then they made it two ads. i swear at one point i had seen Three but that was shortlived or i may be mistaken
#but i never realized when it happenee but they did at some point remove those ad indicators. now they just
#they just Happen. and a lot of the time they're placed in breaks in the video but not always
#but that's not the problem. the problem is they used to give us that heads-up that ads were coming
#and now they Don't. they just appear and we Have to watch them at least a little bit
#its like the same shit with the dislike bar. that was incredibly relevant information that just got Axed one day
#its info that they have and they had provided it for you before but now they decided hey. :> its not important
#when it really fucking is actually
#i got particularly incensed yesterday when trying to watch a video where theyre playing a card game
#the rounds are really short and last like a minute each. and in between each round they would play ads
#i only know this because my phone does not have an adblocker
#i don't like it much in general but that was a truly egregious experience and i legit could not watch it. i stopped entirely
#THIS is precisely why i use an adblocker and that is what youtube wants to push onto you
#it makes me really mad just remembering what once was and how it's gotten so bastardized at this point
#fuck google tbh the only thing i condone of theirs is gmail and drive
#and its a shame that they have such a monopoly on internet video hosting that there is no alternative anyway
#mrah im tired and angry
