Wow. Is this normal behavior for you?

Well, I certainly can't make my point to you. You have bested my patience, my fellow lemming.

Newton's Long John Silver was a solid enough performance to warrant a sequel / spin-off, so TTAPD would be like a day to honor Bela Lugosi's Dracula or even James Earl Jones' Darth Vader.

These people have absolutely made their mark on American culture.

Black Friday, the shopping day is a gimmick taking advantage of an already popular shopping day. Not necessarily the most popular or most profitable or even the worst day for shopper shennanigans and violence. But then, it's difficult for capitalist phenomena to not be turned into gimmicks used to market more sales.

Nah, I'm good.

I think an athiest would have a better chance trying to deconvert a Catholic Bishop than I'd have getting you up to speed.

I kind of inferred the /s by the end of the post, but respect that such inference isn't universal. Also there are many /s comments that I wouldn't infer if it wasn't explicit.

I’m even more baffled by your criticism that YT cares more about shareholders than creating an egalitarian society. Thats true of literally every business including the one you work for. YT never said they were trying to make society egalitarian. Where do you even get that shit from?

The pissed-off engineers that develop effective adblockers, for which there remains robust support.

Much like the west coast oyster monopolies of the 1880s that were scourged by oyster pirates, YouTube is fighting a losing battle.

PS: I take you're aware of the cord-cutting epidemic of cable television, yes?

Yes, but I'm curious what Nintendo is talking to the courts about, or if this is merely a weaponization of litigation.

It doesn't, which informs the rise technical mitigations of YouTube's terrible ad schemes. YouTube isn't interested in a more egalitarian society but serving its shareholder masters, and it sucks even at that.

YouTube subscriptions are not a good deal for the consumers, so they're not going to be popular, which might serve to explain to you why everyone is not a paying subscriber, nor will they ever be.

The Jessica Fletcher problem?

The ratio of income to bills is way lower on our side than YouTube's.

We need that money more than they do.

Are you talking about some heist on Nintendo's blueprint vaults?

Because IP infringement is never theft.

So Nintendo is suing them over the monster design similarities? I thought it was a patent suit, not copyright.
