    I’m sure you have the options disabled that show this kind of stuff but it doesn’t mean it’s not there. Anyone who is not tech savvy (99% of the population) will have no clue how to turn this stuff off or that it’s even an option.

    I guarantee any PC sold by any big box store or on Amazon will come with this stuff enabled by default.

    Have you ever opened the start menu? There are ads there. Unless you’re using some release like LTSC or have a network-level Adblock there are ads in there. For TikTok, candy crush, Disney+, etc. it’s like the preinstalled bloat on some androids, they’re just ads you have to annoyingly remove from your start menu.










  • lol for real? Just look at the timestamps of his tweets on his Twitter account, the dude does nothing but post 24/7. Look at his jet locations, dude hasn’t been to work at Tesla in a long time. He barely goes to Austin and basically lives in the Twitter HQ. I mean fuck, during Tesla quarterly earnings calls you can literally see he was tweeting about conspiracy theories and shit. Come. Fucking. On.

    He’s a greedy fat fuck who torpedoed his own reputation along with the reputation of nearly everything he touches. He’s living, breathing, and walking proof that CEOs do essentially nothing and that they are EXTREMELY overpaid for what little they actually do compared to their employees who actually make the businesses run and develop the products.


  • You can easily buy memberships for channels, which gives more money than premium. In fact, most memberships for channels I frequent are $0.99 a month, so you can definitely afford to support 10-15 of them for the same price as premium.

    That’s great that it’s a good deal for you, but it doesn’t change the fact that google took features that were free to use and locked them behind a paywall. So by default it’s a bad deal on that front alone.
