The AI generated junk on YT front page, no login, no ad blockers, and a fresh computer is wild.

Is this what elderly folks see on a daily basis?

We are cooked, boys

    Honestly the most surprising and annoying thing to find out is truly how few people I’ve met who know about ad blockers.

    The general public is so fucking apathetic.

        And when you write their password down on a postit note, they will still say it’s wrong if it’s more then 4 characters long. You then type it in yourself and it works fine.

      Im inclined to leave them off, if they havent cared enough yet, dragging the likes of them across the line only encourages youtube to address their alternatives quicker.

    I actually saw this video in my feed! A few weeks ago i fell for one and it took me a few more minutes than I liked before realizing it was all fake and not part of the actual trial. Not shockingly a lot of people believed it and now I wonder how many people see all of these and fully believe all these even crazier stories that never happened.
