Doge was a reward for the tabulator manipulation. See you in another 8 months.

It was a reward for the biggest campaign donation in US political history. Musk didn't rig the election, he's not that competent or powerful. Occam's Razor tells us what happened was the Democrats went with a strategy that has never worked before (changing candidate mid-race), and they ended up predictably losing. That's it.

It's happened once post-ww2. Doesn't seem to be a large enough of a sample to make a point about the strategy.

You're also ignoring the candidates themselves


They're tailored to your habits somehow. It's not like those videos are served to housewives who watch and search for completely different segments of reality. They'll be getting the gutworm RFK lotus seed ads.


Their video platform, your rules? Nah mate, you're just being weird now if you think this is a one way street. You can block ads all you want in your computer but they'll have just as much right to stop serving you videos when you're blocking ads.

Also stop leaving your children unattended on brain slop videos. You're basically speaking out of both sides of your mouth.

Today it's that they're not moderating the content and tomorrow it's a complaint of censorship.


>their video platform

When I go to the cinema, that's the cinema's video platform.

In my house, on the equipment that I paid thousands of dollars for and support, using the connection I'm paying for... that's my platform.

>they'll have just as much right to stop serving you videos when you're blocking ads

That's literally what I said they should do. "They don't like it, they can feel free to not send me network traffic."

>stop leaving your children unattended on brain slop videos

I don't have kids. But I have, out of morbid interest, been down the rabbithole of the weird ultra-creepy AI stuff that comes up in their "childrens videos" category.

Some of those creepy AI channels have millions of subscribers.

It's all obviously some kind of weird scam, but google would still be getting ad revenue for it.

If they're going to have a childrens videos category, then obviously they should be moderating it.

For adult stuff yes I would complain of censorship.


When I go incognito for videos it's usually AI Carney getting arrested. The sponsor has a shit name with Wedding somewhere in their name, and when I search the web for the string of the name, I get about 2 hits and they unrelated. It's weird ass shit. Gives me weird foreign influence vibes.


It's actually [0-9] percentage of the video length times 9, more or less


The best creators build these ad reads wearing different clothes.


Tim's just getting ahead of project 2025's "What we do in the shadows" purge. I mean, the Bible says he...

Sad but not implausible


'22 rangers are in a sweet spot right now.


Do the Ranger


It's base MSRP is 33k and it only does five passengers


Just pray that it's a 3090 under that lid when you buy it second hand
