Yeah, I am very likely autistic. I wonder when the lawsuits will start.

I looked at it. The features aren’t worth the price at all.

This is the first I’m hearing about the content creators getting paid out of the deal. YouTube needs to do a better job of letting people know this.

I agree, yet for some reason celebrities who are not qualified to comment on these things have their voices amplified by the media.

Dear YouTube, if anyone there ever reads this.

I tried not to block ads, I would let the preroll go and usually not skip it.

I started skipping ads when they started getting long. I recall some were several minutes long at times.

I started leaving videos part way through when there were mid-roll ads, and those got long enough that I’d often forget what I was even watching.

I started blocking the ads outright when I would be watching a relaxing video, and a very loud mid-roll ad would blow out my goddamn eardrums.

Fuck you YouTube. You abused your users, you chased off good content creators, and now you’re offering people no carrot and all stick. How about you offer to match the volume of the ads to the videos, limit the length of ads to something reasonable, and nicely tell viewers that you are making ads less annoying and that unblocking the ads helps pay the content creators.

Someone please explain to me how 3D printing vegetables could be cheaper or more efficient than just growing them?

Not cool, Samsung.

Who makes it so the carrier can do this? Samsung, or Android (Google)?

That seems rather shitty. Can I not blame Samsung for making and selling a phone my carrier can push unwanted software on without my consent?

Are there really that many terrible drivers out there?

I see so many YouTube videos of people running blatantly red lights and getting in accidents or other videos of people stopped and gunning it backwards, hitting something, then they put it in drive and launch full speed forwards and hit something else. What is going through these peoples mind? I just don’t get how there is...

Here’s my hypothesis so far.

People have to drive. That’s the way cities in North America are made, and I suspect the same applies in a lot of other countries.

There are people that enjoy driving, but when it becomes something you have to do in order to get chores done, it’s understandable if it’s not fun anymore.

These two points above make some kind of case for why I would say most people driving don’t actually want to be driving most of the time.

Now, we also have annoyances while driving. There is a street light I often have to wait at which will give me an eternal red light even when there is no traffic. There are a lot of cyclists here that want to be treated like cars, but don’t want to show the same considerations to cars. Basically, driving can be aggravating, and people may form bad habits in response: such as driving very close to cyclists to pass them without going into oncoming traffic, or racing to beat a red light at all costs.

In conclusion, I think a lot of people don’t really want to be driving, don’t stay mentally engaged while driving, and will act like assholes while driving because they expect other people to do the same to them and the driving experience is frustrating.
