        I know this is a joke but like, seriously, I really believe most internet ads (maybe most ads period) are ableist because of this.

        I have to get all notifications and alerts set up just fucking right because of they happen too often my brain filters them out. If they never happen then obviously I miss them. I have to very carefully tweak everything around me.

        I literally stopped this post mod sentence to do something else. I don’t remember what it is but I’m back now. My life is a living hell sometimes and ads are fucking shit.

      Watching is mandatory. Violators will be fined 500 credits.

      Do you think running YouTube is free?

      Either the advertisers pay for it, or you do. That’s the deal.

        My metadata does more than enough to pay for my usage.

            That’s a good question.

            There’s actually more value in metadata than just for advertising, such as scientific and general market research. And even just talking about ads, it’s still useful for both targeted and non-targeted ads and is not limited to the YouTube advertising space.

        Do you think my data and internet connection is free? Either I give some money, and hope that youtube doesn’t insert ads in the premium version of youtube or I give up my data and download obnoxious and potentially harmful ads.

        Do you think targeted advertising and creating detailed user profiles for that is the only way to run ads?
