Fwiw they're just collecting a paycheck. Sure it's scummy for them to not reject the businesses offering them the money but tbh I really don't blame them - I'd probably take the cash too.

Depending on the channel size sponsored ad reads can deliver upwards of multiple thousand per video for the creator. If you see multiple channels with the same ads, it's bc the company advertising got a big budget approved, that's it.

Imo just skip the ad reads (or get sponsorblock) and forget they exist. Usually the creator doesn't even give a fuck who's paying them or why. They are victims of the system too, not maliciously peddling garbage. I do wish they didn't have to peddle anything, but here we are.

Pretty sure folks are referring to streaming sites meaning like Netflix. The person you are responding to said "click and go" referring to services like YouTube and Hulu not sketchy "streaming" sites like what you are describing that require some hoops to go through to make sure.you don't download a virus.

As someone who leans agnostic, I would say this is a strawman argument. Unicorns and religions/gods are not related.

Fastmail supports aliases as well. I'm not sure how they are from a privacy side overall tho

This will just push websites to change the orders and names of their query params (maybe regularly).

I don't think one can safely omit all query params from all sites and expect a decent experience across all websites.

You are fighting a good fight, I salute you, but query params (the part of the url where the identifiers are included) are a valid and core part of Internet addresses. Trying to strip them away universally will only work for so long.

I think that's why you haven't found a tool that meets all your needs yet, because many sites have legitimate uses for those params that don't include tracking. You'll probably need tools designed specifically for Amazon and other specific websites/services.

Sorry to hear that. I hope you get to sleep next to your wife and dogs soon.

No. I want the freedom of changing my house to my exact liking and renting doesn't allow for that. Furthermore if I'm renting, then I'm paying for someone else's speculative property.

That's kind of hilarious since 20 years ago, western gamers were rejecting games for being "too anime."

Today too! I'm still not really interested in the anime art style. I'm glad the enjoyers do have lots to choose from though.

Rae Drummond has a reported net worth of approx $65m as of last year.

The top 1% of United States net worth starts at $12m. She is just inside the top 0.1% of us net worth which starts at $62m.

Fastmail also offers this.

Curious to know how many others do as well.

Bend gets snowed out frequently and suffers from a lack of diversity. It could use some more folks for sure but idk if people would want to live there in the winter
