It’s like how Netflix ended the basic no-ads plan to force people to either pay way more or pay a little less but be bombarded with ads. Serving ads is more profitable than letting people pay a little bit to skip them, apparently.

Not sure if you care but if you turn watch history on, watch one video, then turn it back off it will give you homepage videos again. I almost always start from the bookmark for Subscriptions anyways, but this workaround has worked since the first time I did it.

I went to a Game of Thrones prop and costume exhibit that was pretty good about a decade ago. It was free timed-ticket entry, but if you wanted a picture sitting in the throne there was a fee. Didn’t find out how much, the line for that was soooo long.

Looks like when Bobby Hill made “rock candy” for the science fair

I’ve had failures with Patriot and Kingston but all 4 Samsungs I’ve since put in various PCs have been reliable

That’s a shame, been using the firefox extensions on my phone and pc for months. Looks like I won’t be viewing any tweets anymore unless they’re embedded in some shit-tier ‘XYZ happened and people are furious’ “article”

Best I found was https://www.aol.com/finance/exclusive-banks-funded-elon-musk-155724210.html and a series of articles over time that the banks were trying to sell their loans used to buy Twitter and were only being offered 60 cents on the dollar for them.

FYI if you delete your watch history, then watch one video, you can pause it again and get a proper homepage. Just don’t clear that one video. I just clicked on a DJ set from someone I liked three weeks ago as that one video and it hasn’t broken again since.
