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.

I haven't watched an ad on youtube for at least the last 5 years. Ad blocking is cyber security.

They have been pushing adblock detecting technologies in some regions. I'm preparing for having to stop using Youtube when they roll it out here.

I don’t think you’ll be losing out on much. Their algorithm has gone to shit recently and finding anything new has become a chore.

I've never had history on so their algorithm has always been ass for me. Just depended on subs.
