I’ve literally never understood the advertising industry.

Like, a company gives another company money to waste bandwidth… How many people even watch ads? As a kid, that’s when you’d leave the TV to get a drink or use the bathroom. As an adult, I run adblockers and haven’t see an advertisement in ages - yet these companies are continuing to spend money on this?

What’s worse is how they actually think people associate the random shit that plays before/during the content you want to watch to the point that they’re forcing creators to dumb down the content. Like, I get it if the platform itself is shit, but come on. If you REALLY want to know what’s harming your brand, it wouldn’t be the guy saying “shit fuck” 50 times, it would be the fucking advertisement that’s breaking the flow and interrupting the guy saying “shit fuck” 50 times. I’d sooner see people avoiding these products specifically because of the negative association.

Sweet fuck I’ve been over in the Canada boards for too long. You have no idea how much “No Frills EV” just hurt my brain lmao. Worst part is, my brain out the capitals there.

I was so confused by your first one until I clicked the link and realized you meant “OpenStreetView” instead of “GoogleStreetView” 🤣

Looks like something Ben Heck would have made. Cool

What are you using in lieu of Google Maps?

I see this with things on Itch.io a lot. I think there’s some engine that has an option to export a Linux distribution of the game, so they ship that without testing.

…huh? They want to cut down on litter by removing the convenient locations for people to dispose their would-be litter?

Fuck there are some incredibly fucking stupid people in charge of places right now…

Nah, the real problem is people willing installing rootkits on their computer because anticheat is somehow very important…

I was forced to downgrade my computer from 10 to 11 and it’s absolutely garbage. It’s a literal downgrade in almost every way.
