Then said tools were made a lot simpler with a lot less control over them

Which needs to be reversed if we're to remain free in Western democracies. Access to and control of computing - general purpose computing in particular - is practically a civil liberty now. I look at legislators in my own country, and I'd wager 50% of them don't understand this, 40% kind of grasp the problems but are apathetic, and 10% are on the enemies' payrolls.

I wouldn't be surprised if the average consumer does more for the environment by reducing consumption by 10% and not recycling anything, than maintaining normal consumption and regularly recycling.

The rise of corporate landlords provides the incentive for all these bad actors. Fail to solve that and the gaming will surface in a new form in ten years. RealPage and other cretins are in business because they have only to make a dozen phonecalls to rental agents in any given city/municipality and they've got the bulk of supply co-operating. Any state/federal government that takes cost of living seriously will do everything it can to keep residential real estate ownership highly fragmented; anything else amounts to a default on citizens.

How many Youtube employees would be assigned to frontend/adblock sabotage efforts? I'm wondering whether the law of diminishing returns will be observed, or will the company have sufficient resources to maintain the shenanigans indefinitely.

If it's the latter, Youtube can rest assured my resolve will match theirs, until the damned thing gets paywalled...

Is that false flag operation r/AgainstHateSubreddits still operating?
