It's not the regular Fast Forward button.

In our tests, a “Skip Ahead” button appears on-screen as soon as an ad-break starts. Just one tap of the “Skip Ahead” button moves a listener to the beginning of the next section, after the ads have finished. It only appears for ads, promos or intros.

They already lost users in authoritarian countries like Russia or China, where Signal is blocked and you can't get an SMS via a VPN, so registration or logging in with 2FA becomes impossible.

Why so? Hoarding money, as well as burning them, is practically equivalent to returning them to the treasury. Spending them wastes labour.

The 870 tonnes of CO2 the E network now produces for yearly operation is equivalent to eating 290000 cheeseburgers, as much as the world eats burgers in one day and one hour.

Banning some technology just because it "harms the reputation" of a platform sounds a lot like Visa and PayPal attacks on Steam and Itch Io to ban NSFW games.

Crypto technology is diverse. Nano and NanUSD are completely carbon-neurtal as they have zero fees. Gridcoin helps scientific research.

Crypto may be tainted in the US where banking systems are okay, but for individuals in third-world sanctioned countries like Iran it is a life saver. For people in authoritarian countries, it is the only way to fund journalism and civil rights organisations that are illegal in their countries.

The original proposal contained a ban on all blockchain technology, and another code hosting service did that. It is a technology that is used by some governments to democratise digital elections. Fraud in 2022 Moscow council elections was uncovered because they relied on a blockchain technology.
