Another great article from 404 Media highlighting the power that the tech giants have amassed over how how we use the internet.

This brings me, I think, to the elephant in the room, which is the fact that Google has its hands on quite literally every aspect of this entire saga as a vertically integrated adtech giant.

This extreme power over the adtech and online advertising ecosystem is one of the subjects of an FTC antitrust suit against Google.

Well, this way I got to see it. Thanks to you. Thanks.

Luckily for me YT hosts all the crap

Edit: Billions of years ago stars exploded. So today while waiting in line at the DMV I got to have an "awww" moment when someone I don't know posted a link, to a video of other people I don't know enjoying their dog, as an example of useless crap that a computer company hosts on its servers. Stars exploded. And here we are.

Life is wild, man
