I appreciate your nuanced answer. That’s something a lot of “why not just pay for YouTube premium” guys don’t

You raised good points and if you’re happy to pay for the convenience, I’m not going to fight you on that.

While I don’t fully agree with paying for a service that doesn’t listen to their customers(bring back dislikes), I can still see where you’re coming from.

Except those mosquitos with antifreeze for blood. God damn GMO monstrosities

Alright where are all the YouTube premium apologetics that keep appearing everytime someone discusses any sort of Ad-blocker?! What do you guys have to say now?!

Fines sound like a good idea.

After all, if you live in a democracy, voting is not just a right, its a responsibility. You fail to meet your responsibilities, believe it or not, fine.

RIP democracy :(

Male bear or female bear? My decision could be different…

I wouldn’t mind the chance to occasionally go back in the past and talk to long lost loved ones, let them know I miss them and that everything’s alright.

Even if it was just limited to a time bubble and nothing I did in the past would change the present or future.

Linux Syndrome:

When nobody asked but somehow the solution is Linux.

Skill issue

Praise the machine god

If you’re going down that road, you’re never seeing anything in its present form because even for an object a meter in front of you, all you’re really seeing is the object as it existed nano seconds in the past. Hows is a nano second in the past different from years in the past?

Who is your favorite fearless hero?

Spent all his evolution points on superfluous eyes that don’t serve a purpose instead of points on intelligence.

What are bicep eyeballs supposed to do other than give you a massive case of motion sickness?

Minox allowed me to enter the awkward phase.

One day I’ll grow through it.

One second guys, I thought OP meant he’d be drowning in pussy not actual cat and kitty litter

Perfection

This is exactly it.

Cable TV was originally meant to be TV with no ads, see where that has come.

Streaming services were meant to be on demand shows/movies with no ads, see where we are now.

YouTube premium will enshittify the exact same way. How do I know this? They already won’t listen to paying customers and content creators who bring customer to the site. They do customer unfriendly moves like removing dislikes to make a quick buck from big corporations. They will make it shittier given the chance.

Death is it’s own problem.

The part that’s less known is smokers tend to have other nasty health problems like COPD where even having a conversation needs a breather and climbing a flight of stairs in one go is entirely outside the realm of possibility.
