You're trying to make yourself sound cooler than just someone that expects someone else's work for free again. You're not, you are just a leech.

You raised no points. You said you don't like ads. It was pointed out you can pay to not see ads and you said that was just as bad(because reasons? You're morally opposed to ad based systems but you aren't opposed enough to

You are proposing making the internet worse to try and justify your leeching. They give you a way to use there service with out ads and magically you have an excuse not to do that to. You are a drain, if you're happy making the world

You complain about them feeling entitled to use your computer how they want while trying to justify doing the same thing to them. You are a cheap hypocrite trying to build up your actions into some kind of noble cause when the reality is y

People just like to tell themselves it doesn't work on them because it makes them sound more intelligent. I've yet to actually meet a single person in my life that advertising didn't work on. You just have to talk them thro

Yes a leech. They give you the option of paying with money or attention. If you choose neither but still use their service you are a leech. It's not free, they've made that clear, just because you are able to take something withou

What about on the homepage?

Ads are targeting to the viewer not the video. So megadeth fans might not like the product but someone willing to watch a 30 minute ad about it probably really likes it.

It's more likely that you are just a standard consumer that doesn't recognise non-obvious advertising than you only buy products that don't advertise. How do you or the people doing the comparisons you read know the product e

You're being entitled to their services. They give you a way to avoid ads and still compensate them. If you don't want to do that it has nothing to do with ads you are just a leech.

The reason they don't do this is because they don't want you to spend too much time on the site. If you get notifications of every reply you come back for every one instead of just coming back and checking now and then. Which in

Yes because they are inconsistent with the actions of a moral position you claim and entirely consistent with the actions of someone doing something for financial reasons.

No it didn't make ends meet it raised something like $35m from vc and was running at a loss of around $1m a month which is why they were so quick to sell to Google despite the growth. They also started ads in 2006 before Google bought

If you read the headlines than you've read ads for thousands of products and they are unavoidable since they are inline.

You're trying to ascribe your actions to a moral cause instead of a financial one.

If you use YouTube at all then you're not at all concerned with "a responsible and accountable platform" you're just trying to justify leeching. If you were actually concerned about those things you'd avoid using t

Asking people to provide compensation for a service isn't bullying. They even give you a choice on how you pay. You hate ads, they give you an option to avoid them and now you hate paying to avoid them. You're trying to makes yo

I use vim and I don't think it's extra effort. My vimrc has changed once in the past 3 years. I keep trying vscode because I read about how much better the plugins are but I find with most I'm not really getting that much ext

You said it would be too much work to go through state by state but you still make strong assertions in you're the three points above. You are speaking from ignorance and declaring things in multiple places and your excuse is that you

Yes. Political spending during major elections makes up a huge part of advertising revenues so financially it makes sense to err on the side of permissive. Even general government advertising projects are extremely profitable for online adv

You didn't read the article and you say you haven't looked into it much but twice in this post you've made assertions about legally questionable/illegal actions. Your posts here are a perfect example of why we need to f

You're filtering for people using vpns to access your site from a country other than the one they are claiming. They likely aren't criminal operations just users operating outside the bounds of your service. They aren't going

Almost everyone uses wifi for everything now. If you're using Ethernet there is a very high probability you are actually a proxy/vpn exit on a rack in some random residential location.

It's the size, frequency and diversity that is unique to Toronto on top of the job market and cultural centres. So all those cities have the same things but in much smaller quantities and generally missing out on larger events which To

Honestly riding a bike in the winter with little shoulder space on 70km roads sounds like a death wish to me. I really don't think it'd be appropriate around Toronto countryside as a solution and I find it hard to believe it&#x27

Best sporting events in Canada, biggest cultural events, the target for most Canadian musicians so you end up with both all the major touring acts as well and tons of smaller local shows every night. Professionally it's the place to b

I know a lot of people working in Markham have moved to Brooklin. Uxbridge is ok since it's easy to get to Stouffville for rail during peak times but I'd want to be closer to 404 if going north for out off hours transport. Like K

No where in Canada has what Toronto offers. Toronto is pretty great, still probably makes sense to live elsewhere though for a lot of people.

The city would be a 40-100km ride. As mentioned regional transport is spotty at night and even then you are probably looking at a 15-30km trip from the nearest stop on 80km roads with small shoulders. It's also completely out of the qu
