Well that’s not true. You’re very pro-genocide, as long as it’s against Palestinians. That’s pretty political.

Huh. Guess I’ve got some vision loss.

Yup. I’m old enough to remember when the selling point of cable TV was that it was ad-free. Then, of course, they started adding ads. And then they sold us premium channels that didn’t have ads. Now those have ads, too. You just can’t get away from them.

I find it fascinating how media companies evolved their usage of ads over time. Used to be that the purpose of showing someone an ad was to get them to buy your product. Now, though, the companies who make the ads are paying to have them put on media networks who use the ads to annoy you into paying for a premium membership so you don’t have to see them. It’s double dipping.

Not sure how I would feel if I made an ad, and YouTube was saying to their users: “Yeah, you like that fucking ad? Super annoying, isn’t it? If you don’t pay me more money, I’m going to cram that annoying bullshit down your throat every time you want to watch a video. I’m going to put ads at the beginning of videos. I’m going to sprinkle them throughout the middle. Hell, I’m even going to make you watch ads after the video ends! You like that, you little bitch??”

Fuckin’ yikes, man. Real edgy 15-year-old energy here.

Here’s a version with the labels still in it:

Maybe they were just quiet quitting.

Better a martyr than a president.

God, I loved that game. I have spent so many fucking quarters in pizza parlors on that shit.

You can’t spell manslaughter without laughter.

Pipe in an endless loop of “Baby Shark” and Justin Bieber?
