If ads weren't riddled with malware or absolutely obnoxious...
Browsing without an ad blocker is cancer

Hey, remember when you could see more than a single line of text of an article on mobile? Me neither.

Time to use Firefox mobile with ublock origin

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Only on Android tho, iPhone users can’t use Firefox extensions, for iOS, I recommend the Vivaldi browser, it has a built in ad blocker with the ability to add custom block lists

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah, just a second ago. Probably, something to do with Firefox. Anyway, articles these days are becoming superficial. What could be said in a few words takes an entire paragraph for some reason. Writer's skills are on a downward trend recently. Not liking it

We'll* have 'AI' summarising shitty long articles written by the same AI. The future is bright

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah you have to make it longer...can't place 15 ads on a text with one paragraph

I especially love the cases where I want to check if and when series xy continues "get the Release Date of Series XY season 5" And then there is a wall of text that summarizes season 1-4 and how everybody is waiting for season 5 to then say that the date is not out yet...

Try Firefox + uBlock or use reader view

Hey motherfucker, did you know you can go AD FREE with YouTube™ premium? Look, it's P R E M I U M. and it will only cost you $9.99 a month (plus any data we choose to siphon from you, aaaaaaand you have to be subjected to our shit-ass suggestions that you will almost certainly not be interested in, because fuck you in your stupid content sucking mouth)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

It's 16 euros here...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

and it will only cost you $9.99 a month

For now.

YouTube's recommendations are actually pretty spot on, I've found.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah honestly not sure why so many people have been complaining about them. They're pretty much always relevant to the content that I like watching.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mine are totally fucked, but it is because I let my kid use my account sometimes and now YouTube just doesn't understand me as a person. It suggests stuff that neither of us want. But when I clear history and it just uses my subscriptions it is better.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Get your kid their own account.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

He has one, but it is a child account which a couple of the people he watches aren't available. They are just game streamers and don't say or do anything I take issue with. So he often ends up on mine. I don't have another family spot to make another account for him and I have YouTube premium. So it is what it is. Means I don't end up wasting hours watching videos on YouTube because of a rabbit hole so there is that silver lining I suppose.
