And I’m sure it’s annoying you too. You can’t view a single YouTube video anymore anywhere one is posted, without that stupid notification popping up. Which forces you to have to go to the shitty YouTube site, log in, hope through whatever verification checks that there is and finally, you can watch the video.
Isn’t there a way anymore where people can just link videos and for them to play? Fuck you, Google.
Stop listening to corpo bullshit, you sound like a fucking moron
I mean it’s not corporate bullshit. Yes there are plenty of legitimate uses, but the majority of bad actors are over VPN’s, so hence the statement is true.
Yes, it is. VPNs have nothing to do with needing to log in, nor does “”“”““bad actors””“”" have anything to do with it
They literally do. Scammers, DDoSers, phishers, bot farms, etc all use VPNs to hide their locations. VPN IPs are commonly blacklisted by providers like cloudflare, meaning that if you use them you will be subject to anti bot security like captchas and time delays. Do you think that vpns just are magically not detectable?
I think you’re missing their point.
No, I’m continuing my point after they tried to change it
It’s corporate bullshit to pretend bad actors using VPNs are the reason these things are done. Even mentioning it is tiny-brain bullshit, y’all licking that boot hard rn
Your initial “point” was just to insult them. You called them a moron. Nobody’s going to engage with that as if it’s reasonable.
Careful, he’s gonna user-tag you, next!
No shit, almost like I said that myself?
Idgaf if other people consider it reasonable when engaging with it: it’s just true
You’re missing the point, and you’re being an asshole about it. Take a chill pill, my guy.
Which is that corps will use bullshit reasons to do something annoying, but sure, pretend it’s something else
Waaaah, the guy who’s intelligence I insulted isn’t being nice to me
Why is it every time a corpo ass-licker gets told they’re exactly that this is the response? I’m as chill as can be, y’all are just pathetic corpo lovers. If that upsets you: be better in future
You came into this thread calling somebody a fucking moron, unprovoked. Your shitty attitude has nothing to do with how anybody has treated you. Don’t blame others for your personality.
Actually, they said they sounded like a fucking moron. And they do they do: there is no actual legitimacy to their claim. They are repeating a horseshit corpo claim without applying any sort of critical thought to it. Which can be reasonably considered “fucking moronic”.
Except for the part where they’re being a moron. Also: user tag indicates this isn’t the first time they’ve done so. So would a look at that: you assumed something and got it wrong!
I never claimed that, do you not know how to read?
I never did, your reading comprehension is trash
You got a source for that?
One of the ways VPNs work is by having all your web traffic look like it’s coming from somewhere else, obscuring where you’re really from. They will see a different IP address than what yours actually is. If you were the only person doing this there would be no problem, but VPNs only have so many servers so companies often know what IP addresses those are. What they see is THOUSANDS of actions being taken by a single IP address, so of course it looks like bots! It makes total sense to have some verification to help against DDOS attacks and bad actors.
