A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yeah, but YouTube recommends not using one...

Google does not have a handle on platform abuse for the past year or two. The cracks are starting to show.

Things like this happen and people still defend YouTube ads like they haven't been abused before.

This is what happens when they automate everything. Its basically impossible to find someone in Google to talk to even if you spot an issue with their products.

Tons of obvious scam storefronts in the shopping results lately, too. (I mainly use it to compare prices and to try to find things that might be in local stores near me.)

Anyone else read that as “theatre actor”?

No, but now I'm envisioning some thesbian sauntering into your living room, fainting towards your USB port and giving a heartfelt soliloquy as the USB drive he just pushed in starts a hidden automated install.

Oh woe is you.
