As much fun as setting up a torrent box is, being an argumentative asshole is even better.

People will choose the most convenient option. It just so happened that, for a brief period, it was more convenient to go through the hassle of installing an adblockers than to sit through the ads for regular users.
The unfortunate reality is that, for some people, moving over to TikTok will be more convenient than watching YouTube ads. Our attention span shrinks a little more, and Google takes one step closer to MySpace.
To put it bluntly it’s a “wait 1-2 weeks for adblockers to update” issue.
It would be a 3 second blurb for him in actuality, the bigger story is the way users revolt in some instances but not others, see Tumblr banning porn vs the facebook analitica scandal. Both of those SHOULD have been enough for a mass exodus but for old people there was no other platform. It’s would have to be framed as an anti-trust kind of thing.
Why not? It worked didn’t it? Also she didn’t report it to an event organizer, she spoke to his publisher in person, she didn’t even get it in writing.
This whole situation looks to me like she has a lot to gain from her special “get lots of major names and publishers together with me in the center” as opposed to just posting the screenshot and seeing that the community would take it upon themselves to speak up with their dollar.
I’m so sick of this “difficult women” lie. Men get fired too for reporting safety concerns, but you still report them to OSHA because it’s the right thing to do and we have protections in place for those people. It’s time to admit that when someone is using their victimhood for their benefit, that the community is ultimately who pays that price.
Tell us about your hotend?
In that article a female advocate for women’s rights describes how she sat back and did nothing to name and shame inappropriate behavior. She talks about how it’s men’s collective problem to solve her issues for her, and about how speaking up for herself isn’t her responsibility.
She’s right that she shouldn’t have to put up with it, but what is anybody supposed to do when nobody wants to point it out when it happens? Suffragettes did not get their needs met by asking their husbands to do it for them. She needs to name the people who do immoral things, not sit around and hope it gets better by asking politely. Get angry, get mad, but don’t ask nicely for HR to solve your problem when we know damn well who HR really protects.
I also work front end, I’ve had sooo many people give me this shit.
#1 Not advertising. Advertising is what you see before you enter the building. Some stores don’t even have shelf labels.
#2 Do you think someone can walk up to your garage sale and slap their own sticker that says $1 and demand you sell them a TV for $1? No, you can refuse to sell your own shit whenever you want. It’s YOUR shit. You can burn it in front of them if you felt like it.
