My grandma said some dumb shit like this to my mom over Facebook. When she asked me why I wasnt coming over for Thanksgiving I told her, and she responds with something along the line of "it was a joke", "it was online", "it wasn't real", etc.
I said grandma, you called my mom a lazy bitch, I ain't talking to you until you apologize. She (on facebook) called me a spoiled millennial piece of shit. 🤷
You're getting down voted to hell, but I totally agree. Using someones else's YT account or using it at work is so jarring because I am used to a 100% ad-free experience. It's a good value to me, I'm not going to cry about paying $15 a month for a service I literally use multiple hours a day.
Those ads are the point of their business model. They show you ads, and repay you with tokens. You can gift those tokens to content creators or sell them on the market.
I just finished S2 of Mr. Robot. I know it's an old show but I missed it the first time around. What a trip, the entire season I was trying to guess who was real and who was in his head, then the reveal... very cool. Reminds me of a Chuck Palahniuk story.
Weren't there a few panels before this where he tries to download/pay for it legally first? The point of the comic being that the guy was trying to do it legit but these companies made it so hard that this guy decided to pirate like in the good old days?
My Owen was a Philip. Boy those were good times 😢👍
