Why entitlement? He paid good money for a service and hardware and still got fucked sideways and got his data sold to shady assholes. Is it now bad to not want to be scammed and be spied on, while PAYING for something?

I used Netflix multiple years and it just got worse and worse in quality and convenience, while getting more expensive. Something that doesn’t happen when sailing the high seas. I don’t have to dox myself when pirating (unless you fucked it up yourself, ofc). I don’t have to justify why I try to watch something away from home. I’m not region restricted, because of licensing issues or some bullshit law some corrupt politician made up, while hoisting the black flag. And finally, I don’t need to pay multiple expensive subscriptions, because some companies want to take a piece of the cake, too.

You know what happened to pirating movies and series, when Netflix first started its streaming business and you could watch everyting on one platform for a reasonable price? Piracy drastically decreased. It only got a “problem” again, after the streaming services got greedy and tried their best to screw the users over with restrictions.

Awesome, I didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing!

Hold on, you can install desktop add-ons on Fennec? How can I accomplish that? I only ever found the officially supportet add-ons like uBlock and PrivacyBadger.

Considering how the main line games are doing — no. Our only hopes are Spike Chunsoft with Mystery Dungeon now. I hope they don’t mess it up if they get to have another go at it.

And what about pedestrians? Are they getting fucked over as always or does this Goolag shite include people with functioning legs as well?

Assuming that Goolag is a US business, I guess it probably doesn’t… You know what would solve emission problems in the big cities, though? Getting rid of private cars and instead investing in busses, trams and subways. Trying to “cure” the symptoms won’t get us far if the main problem still persists.

And I still don’t give a damn! There are two scenarios in case of sponsors.

1. The creator already got paid for the ad before the video. or
2. The creator is payed by percentage of their affiliate link.

It doesn’t matter if I skip for number one, obviously. Number two could be an argument. But 99% of those sponsors are borderline scams anyway, so I really don’t care, because I will never buy something off a sponsorship like that. Not NordVPN (which still tracks you btw…), nor Raid, nor any other crap.

Additionally, SponsorBlock also gets rid of those annoying reminders to “like and subscribe” barely a second into the video, and other such annoyances like fillers or those dumb spoilers that show the best parts of the video right at the start.

SponsorBlock isn’t the issue. It is a symptom of Googles unfathomable greed and the creators/consumers collective Stockholm Syndrome. I value my time more, than hearing the same five sentences about World of Tanks, Raid or any other braindead “game” repeated 500 times.

The only sponsors I don’t skip are the ones from InternetHistorian. He at least puts effort in and makes it fun to watch.
