Betteridge’s law of headlines has rarely been more applicable than in this case: “Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.”

I just marked all my videos private over it.
Put your money where your mouth is.

I always thought of it as stealing
What about companies stealing my time forcing me to watch ads for goods and services I have no interest in?
jimmydoreisalefty@lemmus.org 1 year ago
True!
Time and energy wasted on ads, it is too damn high!

For years they all claimed “oh, we have to snoop unto you because we get to learn what you like and don’t like, and then we can show you ads for things you might value.”
Has anyone, anywhere, found a way to make ads more attractive to the individual viewer? NOPE. If they had, they’d have been demonstrating it. Was I ever more likely to buy something because of an ad on TV? Did I ever wonder where the yellow went? Never. I comparison-shopped to get the best value for the dollar.

No, it’s not.
I’m tired of clickbait hyperbole.

Videos are usually made to be watched then criticize content.
If nothing useful was learned that is one thing, but getting mad by just the title is another.
I hope your tolerance for the internet increases over time.
Sadly SEO in social media is the norm nowadays.
