ROFLMAO - looks like they had a hissy fit.

The main issues (as my best lesbian friend once chimed in with me) are the people who are rather too quick to find offence, in an aggressive way, rather than offer a correction or an explanation, or simply engage in some discussion to confirm their initial suspicions.

On a limited connection, I'd advise not updating whilst watching a video. It's also possible to download a video and watch it whilst updating.

Beyond that it's not easy to answer - as I don't use discover, but also never do updates without paying attention, so that watching a video at the same time isn't something I'd contemplate.

There seem to be many 'sources'. Youtube have a policy where you can show explosions, you can show guns shooting as long as you can't see the targets - it's clearly written. Yet several people are demonetised for showing clips related to Ukraine for a start - and YouTube doesn't respond to requests to explain, it's a secretive policy that doesn't follow the written policy.

It's also very easy to find other videos which would more clearly break the actual rules as they are written. Basically, they do have an agenda - it applies to many similar channels - and they keep very quiet about real reasons for doing so, instead quoting some bullshit rule which isn't true, and doesn't apply, both at the same time.

I think YouTube is dying.

Already, I see many of my favourite channels being restricted (one Ukrainian blogger) whilst the completely moronic, yet dangerous conspiracy theory/Flat-Earthers flourish.

Meanwhile, the most common thing we see is the push to sign up and pay them - yet with all the censorship (not simply censored for non-paying customers to allow the advertisements) it is not a viable option.

Thankfully I still use a Desktop - with Firefox and decent extras the actual ads are still not affecting me at all, but YouTube's policies really are.

They are completely above the law - they don't need to respect their own TOS (the reasons many people are blocked is more related to some secret narrative, and it goes against their own stated terms).

There is no way to appeal outside YouTube, and good luck with any idea of taking them to court for removing your income stream, or censoring a very useful source of information whilst spamming you with algorithms that treat you like Spongebob, and expect you to watch completely moronic content.

I suggest YouTube is a conspiracy to destroy the world, starting with the world population's ability to think.

Convince me I'm wrong ;)

Haha Pornhub - proof that most visitors use Windows, and they're a bunch of wankers.

I was watching an interesting debate at Oxford University the other day - they pointed out that in countries where Religion is taken more seriously, the people are less happy and more corrupt.

The best countries, Eurpean countries with great social care and low unemployment, are countries where religion dies out - people don't care because they're happy.

USA is very special, the MOST religious (except for our famous Middle Eastern Muslim and Jewish countries) and the MOST violent (same exceptions).

When Religion is high on the agenda, you know it means there's a ton of trouble... and with the USA, the leader of the country is effectively the leader of the Religion also.

There are a couple of things here... firstly you're thinking about him being with someone else - that's not just a 'breakup', that's worse.

Anyway, I found relaxing to be difficult so I went out and did stuff - also I just met lots of friends and tried not to be on my own. During my last breakup, I had someone to meet every day after work for a week - and that put some distance which made it easier.

Should there also be entries to cover Ginger, Blonde, Black, or a million other specific labels which could be targeted?

Isn't singling out Transphobia a form of predjudice? Shouild we also add to the list a few thousand other terms which some people find 'edgy'?

That all depends on how, and the context in which it's done. My first girlfriend would spend hours tickling my back in between sessions - I never forgot those sunny days.

Now with more aggressive tickling - it is akin to a violent attack, and my father used to tickle me until I couldn't stand it, and then push some more. Often it ended with me in tears... so with my son, sometimes I'll grab a foot and start tickling it like mad - but I have a MUCH shorter cutoff time so that it ends with him laughing.

So it's not simple - but consent is a huge issue.

So really, it's not just me that found him to be producing smarmy and careless content? My first views were of his various challenges - where they consistently 'proved' that people can't do things in an OS that they don't have experience with, which means they'd be better off doing it in a much worse OS that they used since they were kids - and therefore it's better.

I really liked Nexus's video - though it didn't help me as I wouldn't waste time on LTT. I don't like or trust these coroporate video mills, any more than I trust Google/Youtube - they don't give a toss as long as the money flows and they didn't get sued.
