had a stint as a programmer for a dark hat org back in the day and hacked my way around rdesktop to make it async. When i say hack I literally hacked down the entire codebase until there was not much left except the login flow which consist

Idk enough but I assume there are good reasons, however when a website is biased and finds even bad reasons to hate that's still a problem right?

Because English doesn't have precise terms for love I feel we should use it less. I think here you're talking about self acceptance which seems to me more correct because self love can also mean narcissism

The way I imagined it you wouldn't know where the ad is, they can insert it on the fly at any point. It wouldn't count in the video seek bar.. at any random point they want they can just insert it and you can do nothing about it e

Simply refuse to send original stream packets / ignore seek requests by the client until the ad duration has passed. Sure you could pause / mute / alt tab for that duration but the point is being annoying so people buy premiu

I'm still baffled that youtube doesn't simply splice ads in the video stream directly and relying on client insertion through API endpoints which can be blocked. If they did video injection on the backend they wouldn't have a
