It’s just YouTube shills. Content creators who want to make money on the platform, and content viewers who don’t want to have to check multiple places for the things they watch.

No one should feel bad for Google though, as they chose YouTube to be open to anyone uploading anything.

Some good ideas here. Probably go with a word limit in your last bullet instead of the 5 minutes

We have a store called Best Buy.

It’s just so exhausting, right? Im with you 100% on this.

Suppose we survive Trump, 60-40 ish. Who comes next? Is every future election going to be a fight to keep democracy?

How’s that strategy working out for you? For us?

Unfortunately “don’t give them money” doesn’t work. Bc commerce is global due to internet. There will always be uninformed buyers in every product space. And always buyers who don’t care.

My solution, posts like this. We should be informing others of these practices and discussing ways to bypass, repair, or disable blocks and unintended behavior on the products and services we purchase.

The world is vastly more complex than it ever was before. I get it feels useless, but learning anything makes us smarter.

Being smarter means we will handle situations intelligently. There is no useless learning.

I was mostly curious those that want to abolish it what their alternative solution is.

Under popular vote, DeSantis is still running and maybe now he gets 63 billion votes from Florida alone. The impact of this fraud (there are not 63 billion ppl voting in Florida) is bigger with no electoral college.

Other countries don’t have EC bc other counties don’t have our state and government structure.

Yall do you. I’m not very political anyway.

Abolish electoral college is not the answer to these issues. Unless you have a new idea in mind. Electoral college is better than using popular vote. It helps prevent fraud from any one particular state.

Just wanted to say thanks for writing this up. I had a similar experience and figured wifi and location was enough for google to make the connection, but I like the extra part you added about being associated through contacts app too.

I’m one of those. If it were true you’d get targeted ads for everything your phone hears from TV too.
