Given this is the top comment it should be pointed out that while Proton was incorrect about this being Meta there is research out about TikTok doing this very thing.
The way you’ve worded your comment makes it seem like this either can’t happen or isn’t happening and that simply isn’t the case.
When a sample of mice were given free access to water dosed with aspartame equivalent to 15 percent of the FDA’s recommended maximum daily amount for humans, they generally displayed more anxious behavior in specially designed mood tests.
These are annoying as heck but I don’t consider them ads at all. Sure they probably launch some ad riddled page, but no direct ads in windows.
They can all be turned off and I am a bit annoyed that our desktop team hasn’t turned them off in our org’s standard images. I cringe anytime I have to remote in to troubleshoot with a user. Thankfully it isn’t very often.
Pi Hole for me blocked some YT ads but not all. YMMV based on the block list you use. I didn’t get very aggressive but still killed most page ads.
As a Coloradan - Put the weed down and step away from the keyboard. I love this state as much as the next guy, but you are out of your mind if you think this state is the tip of the spear.
I’m really intrigued. However I really wish they would spend some time improving their mail and calendar apps.
I’m currently in a three month trial due to the value (music streaming and ad free you tube), but coming from Pandora YT Music’s radio algorithm sucks sooooo bad. One of my first plays was a foo fighters album and now all the stations I create have alt/grunge in them. It’s making it really hard to consider staying.
If you’re happy with coverage, check out Google Fi. Unlimited for $20 a line (for 4+ lines).
To be honest, I’m surprised they kept the ‘uncarrier’ image for so long. This was bound to happen, especially after the sprint merger was approved. I really feel T-Mobile pushed the big two to make changes to compete and now all I fear all three will go back to the old ways.
I started Zelda so many times as a kid but never finished it. Was so happy to finally beat it thanks to the remake. It is solid and adds a few tweaks to help game play. Totally worth picking up!
I’ve bought the UCS X-Wing and Curiosity sets and both were still using plastic. I have a hard time believing they had a surplus of plastic bags that lasted this long.
UCS X Wing and Curiosity were the last two sets I bought and both still used plastic. I’m curious to know which you bought that had paper?
I’m still waiting for the non-plastic part bags that were promised, what, 3-4 years ago.
I agree. Honestly anytime I’ve resorted to having to use Google for something I feel the results are even worse than DDG.
Cush needs to be benched three plays ruined due to his poor play. RT is close behind.
I’ll second this. I was hesitant to watch it but my boss kept raving about it and I was hooked after the second episode. I really hope the strikes don’t turn S2 into a burning pile of garbage.
This one hits a little close to home as someone who loves math but hated calculus.
Does a burrito start as a calzone turn into quiche then finish life as a taco?
