They aren't really a monopoly. You can purchase games elsewhere. They are simply the gold standard of gaming platforms.

Someone deserving of his thanks, clearly

You didn't really reply to my comment. You kinda just said the same thing again, but anyway.

I guess we'll just agree to disagree. You can use YouTube without viewing ads. There are ways around it.

My point was, for the average consumer, there are way too many ads being put into everything, and unless you're savvy enough to navigate around this, the only way this will change is with regulatory intervention, which can actually happen.

I feel like there is an argument to be made about ads being put into damn near everything. They've become way too prominent in every aspect of daily life. There are so many things you cannot do without having an ad rammed down your throat. Youtube isn't the best example of this, but if you start giving up things that have ads, you will eventually have nothing. The root problem is corporate greed. Line must go up at an ever increasing angle, and shareholders must make maximum profit. How do they accomplish that? Ads. Regulatory bodies must step in before everything we see in a digital spaces (and a lot of real spaces too) becomes covered in advertisements.

Won't be long before we go to the beach to watch the sunset, and there's a floating billboard for mountain Dew covering it up. It's out of control.

Dude it's pathetic. It's fuckin sad. Maybe Lemmy can pool some dosh together and get this guy an escort

Big incel energy.

Block and move on. Takes literally 2 seconds. Instead, you've spent a significant portion of time championing a cause only you and maybe a couple others believe in.

It sounds like you're pissy Nodachi does collabs with multiple women and you don't.

This is definitely Gretchen.

I have once or twice. It's pretty cool.
