I just tried to look up a specific video of a Nick Swardson stand up bit. All I searched was “Nick Swardson loitering”. There were 5 fucking ads before an actual user posted video, then one real human posted video that barely had anything to do with Nick, then 5 more fucking ads.
I knew they were forcing ads into videos but clogging the entire search feed with ads is unfuckingbelievable.
Is this really what it’s come to? Ads are more important than what I’m actually looking for? Are people really okay with this?
Capitalistic? Lemmy.ml does it too.
What the fuck? So if I’d comment this from lemmy.ml they’d delete that comment?
Don’t they have better shit to do?
Not the whole comment, but the word would get removed. It also applies to any comments posted to communities hosted on the server.
So much for free speech, eh.
That’s sad. But hey, I see my instance hasn’t done anything yet!
I know Youtube, TikTok etc. do it only to be able to sell the content better to advertisers; if there’s swearing in it, gullible children might not be allowed to watch it, so less ads sold.
I wonder why lemmy.ml does it?
AuthLeft taking authoritarian practices from other ideologies? Color me shocked.
Some h*bits die hard
