YouTube is dedicated to making itself worse; destroys SponsorBlock with ad injection changes
  • If you don't use YouTube, you're also screwing over the content creators you enjoy. You can cause harm to a company in many ways. Stop using a site prevents them from making money off of you. Preventing them from actively making money off of you while you're still using the site actively takes money away from them. It is double sided sword because you're also not actively supporting that content creator. However, if they don't have another platform to post on, you can instead buy merch, donate, or simply help the algorithm boost their content by watching their content.

    I don't disagree with you. YouTube should no longer be a viable business. Something else should step in and rival them. But since that doesn't look like it's going to happen, I'll be happy running adblocks, and letting them not recoup their server and operation costs from me.

  • Know the difference!!!
  • Just from what I found, swamps are wetlands with woody vegetation being what DOMINATLY inhibits it. So if it's mixed, find out what there is more of. If it's 50/50, I guess the universe collapses.

    And a wetland with a neutral ph is just called a neutral wetland.

  • Nerding out in group is fun tho
  • This is the craziest rhetoric I've ever heard. People love hearing interests from a fanatics perspective. If you have an almost unhealthy interest in something, test the waters. See how much the recipient is interested in hearing you talk about this, and if they are, go all out. I've learned so many interesting and niche things I never would have by engaging with people with hyper fixated interests.

  • When even comedy hits too close to home
  • What about Severance on Apple TV? That one really got me too.

    Literally about sweatshop type conditions, from the company that has to put antisuicide nettings around their factories.

  • Chasing the Bottle
  • The smell of weed has always been abhorrent to me. A true blooded alcoholic reeks like shit too, but most casual drinkers, or even alcoholics that care enough to still have good hygiene, don't smell nearly as bad to me.

    But to each their own and whatnot.

  • Either way is time to sharpen your pitchforks
  • I think it gets better, but it is a bit of a slow burn. It's just a comedy that's a satire on religion and systemic oppression, that uses an angel and a devil being friends to convey that.

    I enjoyed it, but I wasn't glued to the screen. I think it's absolutey worth the watch, but it did take an episode or two to gain my interest.

  • Would eating raw human brains make you high?
  • We don't actually promote higher levels of dopamine as far as I know. Dopamine agonists work by mimicing what dopamine does to your nervous system. It doesn't actually produce any more. Also you can be given dopamine intravenously. It is mostly used to raise blood pressure in newborns. But you are right. For other uses, its smarter to mimic it, because of how short it lasts.

    We do, however, promote a higher concentration of serotonin with SSRIs. We do that by blocking natural inhibitors that destroy serotonin after being used. This way we can use them more before they die off.

  • My thoughts on this community + more announcements
  • I think the biggest thing that draws me to this community is surrealism. If it's not surreal and it's just a meme, it probably shouldn't be allowed.

    Of course I enjoy the occasional meme, but Ive seen a few in here that feel like they just missed the mark of being surreal.

    But that's just my two cents. I still love this community regardless.

  • If you had to nominate a Videogame for 'best moment', what would you nominate?
  • Life is Strange for a good couple of things. Soundtrack, story, visuals. Most of all, it has a really impactful scene towards the end that ultimately makes you really revaluate what the story is about and how you feel towards it.

  • Smartest thing I've done this month: Disable the YouTube app
  • Base YouTube is a cancer experience. I used vanced back when it existed. The second they shut down, I stopped using mobile YouTube and just used it on Firefox PC with ad block. When I heard reVanced was a thing, I downloaded it and it's essentially just like vanced.

    I will never use YouTube without adblock unless they either change their monetization system, or ad system.
