YouTube, the popular video-sharing platform, has once again launched an experiment targeting users who employ ad blockers. This time, YouTube warns users that their video playback will be limited to just three views unless they disable their ad-blocking software or whitelist the site.

It’s a strange post in general. Someone’s substack, written in some generic faux-journalist style, with one source for the main claim (“a Redditor”), who isn’t linked to. Don’t know why it’s being shared here.

It’s a substack post. At this point, my quality expectation is

  1. Wordpress - Probably someone who really cares about what they write about
  2. Substack - Either low effort spam like this that gets upvoted for some reason or someone pushing their agenda, hard
  3. Medium - Either spam, wrong, dumb, or too simple. Literally never worth reading.

My understanding of the three platforms, too. Interesting how similar people congregate in platforms.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
