You can click on that little ellipsis menu and either choose “not interested” or “block this channel”. It should improve your recommendations.

Yep. The suggestion algorithm is way too aggressive. Keep in mind you can remove individual videos from your watch history.

I’d say “sounds like a lawsuit”. After all, you can’t advertise something as no ads, and then show ads.

But then I remember who is in charge for the next four years and realize they’ll just get away with it.

I’m surprised that’s legal. You’d think it would distract other drivers

Or you could use a different search engine.

Why does a browser need an update to fix YouTube? Shouldn’t that be the other way around?

Reminds me of Windows UI — usable, but inconsistent. Obviously a lot of glommed on tech debt that was never updated.

There are English speakers on Lemmy too. And some of them post Chinese propaganda. I wouldn’t doubt if a lot of this “surge” is manufactured/faked.

Is any reporter going to actually look into this? I have serious doubts that a slew of English speaking TikTok users who can barely use their phones to begin with are going to mass migrate to a Chinese language app just to watch lame ass videos. This really feels like some sort of propaganda campaign.

What a waste of RFID chips.

This sounds like such made up bullshit.

YouTube charges too much. It costs more than Netflix! They need like a $6/mo plan or something.

And? That cost is constant. It shouldn’t cause fluctuations in price.

It’s not how all businesses work. Many businesses lower prices when there is a surplus. Consider filling up at the gas station for example.

It’s ridiculous that energy prices would go up when they are spending less on natural gas, coal, or whatever they are using to create the power.

Honestly crap like this is just going to encourage those that can afford it to install solar panels and backup batteries to load up on cheap electricity. Then the power company is really going to throw a hissy.

I wonder what the data entailed other than school name, student name, and grades?

EDIT: Found answer. It included social security numbers.

Important story, but not really “oniony”. This is the new normal unless you’ve been living under a rock.

Studios shouldn’t own channels (streaming or broadcast).

It’s already come multiple times. But people don’t seem to learn. We had Trump 1.0.-Covid-Brexit. Now we have Trump 2.0-BirdFlu-Elon Boogaloo.

I recommend “Severance” on AppleTV. Also recommend “Shining Girls”. AppleTV is free this weekend.

Season one of Silo was great. Season two is a poorly edited mess.
