  • Personally, I was fine with paying for “Premium Lite”, which was reasonably priced, removed ads, and gave channels you watched some revenue.

    But youtube removed this subscription tier a few weeks ago, leaving only the twice as expensive “Premium”. Since I, and I assume most others who subscribed to “Premium Lite”, has no use for the other stuff included in the more expensive tier the cost is no longer justified for me. Back to finding increasingly exotic ways of getting around their ads I guess.


  • And the authoritarians keep moving up their positions.

    The debate over here is fucking crazy, the post-fascist backed government is sneering at any proposed solution with any nuance or suggested preventative measures included. It’s all fucking military intervention, insane deregulation of policing, surveillance, harsher punishments, regressive drug policy, and anti immigration populism.

    Do we have an uptick in violence because of a very specific ongoing gang conflict, yes. But Jesus Christ, not anywhere near the level that would excuse anything close to this.
