Second shift, 4am.

YouTube makes 8 billion per quarter selling ads. I think they will be able to eat tonight.

Appreciate you finding the one thing I wanted to know from the article.

I’ll tell ya the secret sauce. It’s so we can easily filter out people like you in public without having to start a conversation. I like what I like, and don’t give a shit what others find presentable.

Sincerely,

Lemmy is my only online presence. I use…

My phone.

This is such a low effort answer that does not even begin to consider the complexity of people’s lives.

This is why I chose Mazda. No touch screen at all, just a display for Android auto.

For anyone who needs a reminder, his name is not Ted. We should honor his wishes and stop calling him by his preferred name.

Sure, but at the end of the day, does it really matter? It’s like made up numbers that never run out. He’s still set for life, no real consequence. He feels this less than someone who misses a car payment one month.

Such a good time killer!

Hopefully. Let’s get back to that.

Plenty of cars out there running more power than that. Why do we need it? We don’t. The same could be said for most power levels in any modern car. Why do we want it? Because it’s fucking awesome.

No VR support at launch. That’s a shame.

Right on.

Actually, yes…when you leave a lot with what you bought, you did, indeed, pay for it.

Their shitty business practices to exploit consumers are designed to favor their decisions as a net gain. And usually, it is a safe bet. An easy win. Hell, even in this case it still will be. Last I checked, they were turning a profit.

When the consumer finds a win, it’s not “getting something for free.”. It’s a small victory for the consumer on a bad business decision by the company. The companies sure use a lot more loopholes than the consumer to squeeze a buck out of everyone. They assumed they would make money giving things away as a deceptive practice. Most times they win. This time, it didn’t work out for them. Oh well. Free market and all. I’ll not be losing any sleep over it tonight.

Yeah, I remember all of that. It usually went hand in hand with sites I shouldn’t have been on lol. But who knows, you’re probably right. It’s been a lot of years.

The lack of ads. Were there ads? Of course there were. A reasonable amount with reasonable placement. Websites still functioned as intended without content being progressively more blocked on your screen, and they rarely required interaction to deal with them. Nowadays, if you can get a site that’s not paywalled, the text field is so small you can only see a sentence or two between the bullshit.

Because we can’t afford it.

You’re not alone. I’m guilty as well lol.
