If ads weren't riddled with malware or absolutely obnoxious...
Browsing without an ad blocker is cancer

    Hey, remember when you could see more than a single line of text of an article on mobile? Me neither.

    Yeah, just a second ago. Probably, something to do with Firefox. Anyway, articles these days are becoming superficial. What could be said in a few words takes an entire paragraph for some reason. Writer's skills are on a downward trend recently. Not liking it

    Yeah you have to make it longer...can't place 15 ads on a text with one paragraph

    I especially love the cases where I want to check if and when series xy continues "get the Release Date of Series XY season 5" And then there is a wall of text that summarizes season 1-4 and how everybody is waiting for season 5 to then say that the date is not out yet...

    Hey motherfucker, did you know you can go AD FREE with YouTube™ premium? Look, it's P R E M I U M. and it will only cost you $9.99 a month (plus any data we choose to siphon from you, aaaaaaand you have to be subjected to our shit-ass suggestions that you will almost certainly not be interested in, because fuck you in your stupid content sucking mouth)

    YouTube's recommendations are actually pretty spot on, I've found.

    Yeah honestly not sure why so many people have been complaining about them. They're pretty much always relevant to the content that I like watching.

    Mine are totally fucked, but it is because I let my kid use my account sometimes and now YouTube just doesn't understand me as a person. It suggests stuff that neither of us want. But when I clear history and it just uses my subscriptions it is better.

    Get your kid their own account.

    He has one, but it is a child account which a couple of the people he watches aren't available. They are just game streamers and don't say or do anything I take issue with. So he often ends up on mine. I don't have another family spot to make another account for him and I have YouTube premium. So it is what it is. Means I don't end up wasting hours watching videos on YouTube because of a rabbit hole so there is that silver lining I suppose.
