Google screwed up like a lot of companies do. YouTube was never profitable to run. They were just burning through cash to keep the lights on and become the number one video host online.

Internally there became a mandate to try and turn it into a profit making machine and the advertisers caught wind so they stepped in with their demands knowing that they were going to be the source of the profits. This is where the content restrictions started to happen as videos needed to become ad friendly.

I wish YouTube would have figured out another path to help provide the service and pay video creators. At least with Premium you don’t get ads and Sponsor Skip means you don’t see embedded VPN and game sponsors.

Not dying.

How kind of it to think about your privacy. Such a nice google. /s

Chair can make a big difference. I switched from a basic office chair to a Herman Miller and it was night and day. I can sit in that thing all day without noticing, my old chair had me wanting to stand and stretch all the time and still left me with an aching back.

Excited for this feature. It’s probably my most performed multi-step action right now so this will speed up my feed curation.

Great write up! I thought I was familiar with this game, but clearly not. I guess the name just has that familiar vibe to it. Thinking back to what I was playing in '87 this would have really stood out as something different. I’m sad I missed out on it at the time.

Manually testing italics.

Italics by manually using an underscores wrapper

My edit to the previous comment didn’t come through and only shows the original.

Just wanted to test that out with this comment. Also, wanted to test italics and bold as I’m not sure they’re working correctly.

italics

bold

italics ending in a single period.

”italics in quotation marks ending in a single period.”

Apologies for the spam.

Test.

Hope all goes well. Stellar job creating such an amazing project and community. Family come first, always.

It was a “trust me bro” claim that the media blindly ate up.

I’m currently sitting on a 75% iPhone 7. Gonna run this sucka into the ground! Phone is solid outside of having to live within arms reach of a charger.

Revamping the ad group creation flow and audience manager tools

Starting this week, we are changing the way you build audiences by refreshing the ad group and audience manager creation flows. We’ve rebuilt these tools from the ground up to create a clean interface that outlines all of the targeting available to you within one flow.

While all the 3rd party API and blackout shit was going down Reddit were busy talking up their rebuilt ad manager tools, not their lack of mod tools or support improvements for their unpaid staff holding up the foundations of the platform.

It’s crazy how much they fucked that up. I stopped using Reddit on mobile for a while after. I tried the official app then discovered Apollo, which recaptured the Alien Blue experience.

This is like the discovery of the Rosetta stone.

As someone who has taken the test, it was much easier to do than the study material and sample tests led me to believe. I read through the citizenship guide so many times memorizing crazy facts that my Canadian friends couldn’t answer. The actual test was so basic that even logical guess work and basic knowledge would probably get you a pass.

Oh, and I couldn’t tell you a thing from my studies now. All went out of my head the moment after finishing.
