If you’re in a position to sell snacks I wonder if that would do well for those walk ins.
Atheists: Us too, right?…
Notice this response isn’t “that’s wrong and here’s why” it’s “someone else also said this”.
Even if it were true that I was repeating BP taking points, that’s not a good reason to discount it.

To help drive the point home, how many widgets will a company make if no one is buying them anymore?
Corps make and sell what we buy.
Arguments like yours seem to condense down to “I won’t change until a corp forces me to” which makes no sense to me.
That’s how Reddit used to work until they made the idiotic change (IMO) to go the other way. A blockee loses the ability to even participate in any thread/post started by the blocker.
For example, after the change if I blocked you now, you wouldn’t be able to respond to me or anyone else further down a thread I started.
This is a boon to bullshitters, disinformation campaigns, etc since those people could just post their bullshit and then block anyone who attempted to call them out.
I meant in terms of hiding a particular user.
To me, blocking means “I don’t see $”. Not “$ doesn’t see me”. Ad blocking, script blocking, site blocking via DNS, etc is my mental model.
… I’ll allow it.

Oh, sorry. It’s here.
I left it out since it’s paywalled but I should have thought that some might want it.
Another example for why I absolutely refuse to categorize people by skin color, sex, sexual preference, etc.
This guy’s a fucking piece of shit no matter what color he is.
Whatdy’a say we judge politicians on their policy rather than immutable attributes?
A browser plugin bringing the functionality back would probably do well.
If history is any indication, they will complain and no significant number of them will cancel.
Ow my neck (I have whiplash)
Seeing as these ads will be targeted and of varying length, I wonder if a SponsorBlock-like extension with the ability to accept training data from users to help identify ads.
The Plex server application has a feature which scrubs videos and identifies intros so you can skip them like you can on Netflix. Wouldn’t it be sort of like that?
Seems like a good use of AI/ML.
That’ll work a few times
More History Channel.
Used to be some really good shit on there that would teach you interesting history. Then it turned into Ancient Aliens bullshit.
Won’t last long unless the votes actually come in.
Self hosted option is a docker image. Probably not difficult to set up.
Ahh yeah. That’s tough.
