More hideous shit is coming so we're preparing now by removing the dislike button. Don't like videos now? Wait till we hit you with our new ai slop and other creative shit.

It’s the way cable tv went to hell too… slowly and very deliberately by these businesses we all collectively hate but have no choice but to shovel money at, manipulating what and when we see, increasing ad times and ad volume levels, and dumping billions of dollars into marketing companies to find out how to manipulate us… of course they’re working overtime to get that level of control back lol
