  • Ok so I want to go back and forth between being the different Koopalings...I want to be Lemmy. I'm trying to choose an image for my new picture but when I click on "Choose File" nothing is happening. This is annoying me.
    Why does YouTube have such an excessive amount of ads now? Is it because they're losing money, or are they just greedy? I assume it's the latter. It's seriously extremely annoying. Like seriously they never had this many ads before. It seems really excessive to me. Whenever I watch a video, it seems like there's an ad every 30 seconds.

    Anyway, if anyone wants to explain why, like, please don't go into enormous technical detail; just let me know which one it is-greediness or losing money. Like, be general about it. Please. My brain can only handle so much information LOL.

    @Sweetie Belle It's crowdsourced, when you watch a YouTube video, it checks its database to see if anyone has made any submissions for the video you're currently watching. So like if you have SponsorBlock set to automatically skip sponsored segments and someone submitted the section from 2m30s to 4m05s in the video you're currently watching as being a sponsorship spot, it'll automatically skip that part.

    @ClawgripFan9001 I really do wonder if a lot of people hate Google because they're so greedy like this. They do a lot of other bad stuff too-spying on people, manipulating and misusing search results....they're kind of a scummy company in my opinion, from what I've heard. A lot of companies are but Google to me seems to be an especially bad case.
    I have Mcafee installed on my computer, but it's been doing something lately that is so evil. It's been sending me false scareware ads saying "Warning! Data breaches of your personal data have been detected on the dark web! Upgrade to Mcafee+ now!". There was even another one that said my data was being SOLD on the dark web and to upgrade Mcafee. This is false advertising! How is Mcafee getting away with this? It makes me so mad. I think this is wrong of them. Why are they using these scare tactics? I have no funds or money to speak of but one of them said my financial data had been breached and that's how I know this is all fake. I don't even have a bank account. These weren't pop up ads on the web either; they were from Mcafee on my computer.

    @FizzletheMovieTheatre LOL I can relate; I think I've seen that a couple of times myself. Then we had to renew it again. So annoying! 🤣

    The fact about paid antivirus these days is that it's not as necessary as it was, say, 10 years ago. We have more advanced security built right into our devices, and the antivirus companies know that. That's why they use obnoxious, misleading, and sometimes dishonest methods to try to convince people that their device is unsecure without paid antivirus so they'll keep their subscription.

    @Doctor Bowser Yeah screw that crap; that is so stupid. I'll talk to my dad to see if there's a better way to do this.
    Well I'm looking forward to summer; how about you guys? 😎☀️⛱️🏐
    I'm extremely tired because some construction was going on late last night in my neighborhood from 12 AM to dawn and so I lost a lot of sleep. Good thing I have earplugs so this won't happen again.
