YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers (www.howtogeek.com)

YouTube is intensifying efforts to combat adblockers, including blocking video playback and warning users of potential account suspension.
Increased ads on YouTube have driven many users to adblockers, hurting both YouTube’s ad revenue and content creators reliant on ad-based income.
Despite these measures, many users are leaving YouTube or finding workarounds, leading creators to seek alternative revenue streams off-platform.

I miss those cheeky gif banners from the 2000s

[With hindsight] The commercial use of the internet should never have been allowed.

I want the internet to be a network of digital libraries...communication, public events and sharing space...personal pages...services...the commercial motive starts from there and eventually consumes the rest :/

For this to happen, everyone using the internet should know HTML or there has to be a easy to use, MS Word-like web designer. And there should also be easy to use, free web hosting providers (neocities exists).

Owning a website as a non-techie should be normalized and be portrayed as "cool"

Hey, neocities is pretty good, I think I'll try to use chatgpt to get some boilerplate site running and then keep adding to it :)

These sites make me happy https://melonking.net/melon?z=%2Funiverse%2F 😂
