Yes, that was my entire point.

You can’t though. That was my entire point.

Well that’s exactly my point.

Honestly I would probably pay for it and be happy but Premium doesn’t solve many of the problems that still exist:

• being shown the same content over and over
• Dislikes hidden
• in-video ads
• Shorts absolutely crammed down your throat everywhere
• broken search results
• AI-generated slop absolutely everywhere
• crypto spam
• Google-connected account using view history to spy on you

etc. etc. All problems Google could solve easily but simply won’t.

Agreed.

Hmm you make a compelling argument, I’m forced to reconsider my position.

But when we blame AI…we are just blaming a consumer of a product

We are blaming a “consumer” that is consuming the entire world’s supply of a product for no reason other than to destroy the planet and mislead investors in an effort to make themselves even richer.

Your own links are contradicting you.

I don’t need to inform myself of anything. I already know. The lobbyists do not write legislation.

Oh, honey, God bless your little heart…

It’s not incorrect.

Lobbyists also don’t write legislation.

…companies do not write legislation. Politicians do.

This is really less to do with any companies and more to do with poorly written copyright legislation (DMCA).

There probably are but only if you pursue it in civil court, which I wouldn’t be surprised to see Nvidia do.

As always, corporate shitfuckery, this time with a dash of collusion.

I bought a 48" OLED “monitor” that has none.

Depends what you mean by “safe enough”. Every country on the planet can subpoena your VPN for traffic data. That’s why that data needs to be encrypted, regardless of what company.

Americans may be inadvertently waiving the privacy protections they’re entitled to under the law…

LOL what privacy protections? The NSA has proven time and time again that they don’t give a single shit about the law, certainly now more than ever.

Bring back Janet Reno
