if you try to enter something like that as evidence you’ll get punished as well.

They'll just use parallel construction

If you weren't aware, speakers can be used as microphones.

Holds up spork!!!1!!

The saddest thing is how nobody in either of those groups ever seems to have even the most basic principles or ethics. If they did, they wouldn't be working for Meta.

FYI, you don't have to have it automatically skip segments. You can have it label the segment in the seek bar (different color depending on type of content), and when the video reaches that point, a little option to skip pops up. So it's entirely up to you each time.

It just seemed like an observation to me. One that personally rings true.

I didn't read it as being pro-ad or anti-adblock. Just more of like, "have you noticed this?" type thing.

Was honestly surprised when I saw that so many people here are taking this to be some kind of anti ad blocker message. I just don't see it.

There was actually a successful campaign to get the FCC to force the volume of ads to be the same as the programming.

But that's the FCC so it only applies to broadcast TV. As soon as they could do it with streaming content, they went right back to blasting the volume for ads. Because fuck the spirit of the law, this is capitalism.

I'm with you, I refuse to use it. If my comment gets downvoted because of that, then so be it.

Why try to be funny only to immediately compromise it?

I don't think that was the message at all. Where does it imply that you're worse off? It's just a (in my experience) true statement about how ads are even more annoying when you're not so accustomed to tuning them out (like we were in the cable TV days)

How is that the opposite? Is that not like the whole point of the meme? That you can't tune it out and that sucks?

Yeah it's just annoying to have to keep paying attention anyway so you know when to unmute. So you end up watching a little bit of silent ads anyway.

The Boy Who Cried Wolf is literally a cautionary tale about fallacious reasoning.

The people in charge of protecting against wolves should not have ignored the person crying about it just because they had been wrong previously
