that’s so weird because I got an email inviting me to participate and I haven’t ever been considered a ‘prolific poster’. I’m only at 60k and 12 years. I had no clue I was invited until I looked in my spam folder.

Like I said, none of that happens to me and I’ve been using YouTube since 2006. It really does seem like a difference between paid and unpaid amounts.

Do you pay for premium? From what I’ve seen the algorithm is much more hostile to people who don’t pay. I literally _never _ have these problems about YouTube recommending stuff I don’t care about.

Your logic doesn’t make any sense. They make money off of people paying for a service or watching ads. If you’re blocking ads then you’re costing Google money and no creators are getting paid. If you’re paying for the service then you don’t get ads, and you pay the creators, and you pay for Google to keep running the service.

I thought it was adblocks latest update.

Google doesn’t sell your data, they’re one of the few that don’t. That doesn’t mean they aren’t misusing your data though. They’re more the dragon hoarder than the thief selling off stolen goods. They want all your data so they can learn everything about you. Selling your data to others makes it worth way less. It’s a difference in strategy. Google retains the data to enhance their products, Facebook sells your data because they have no products that would be improved by keeping it.

I actually got them all in order on my side.

Never even heard of matpat and I’ve been using YouTube since 2006

We watched that ad too. Hilariously enough it was on a video for the trailer for Lego movie two or whatever.

You can replace almost all aspects of oh my zsh just by using fish shell. Like straight out of the box it does most of it. I switched off of a completely customized zsh (oh my zsh didn’t do enough for me) and fish is able to do everything I did with my custom zsh setup.

You evidently had enough time to post elsewhere, so it’s not unreasonable to think you might’ve read my reply already.

Evidently? Huh?

How is the WP article showing misinformation? It basically boils down to “Israel alleged something and provided some evidence, but we think it’s not conclusive”. It does not show that Israel knowingly lied about anything, which is what you’re insinuating.

The article is literally about how Israel claimed a bunch of things as complete truths and then every single thing they claimed was wrong.

This has been the case for almost everything Israel has said until this point. They lied about hostages being raped, they lied about not going to bomb specific areas, they lied about certain areas being safe for Palestinians, they lied about only trying to kill hamas, and have killed over 20k civilians as a result, they lied about not actively trying to kill journalists. The list is endless. It’s perfectly clear that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians and if you support that, I’m sorry but you’re absolutely evil.

lol my silence is not an answer. I don’t spend inordinate amounts of time on the internet so have no need to respond within a day much less a week. Here’s one example of the numerous misinformation that Israel has been spreading, coming from a news source that actually helped spread Israel’s disinformation.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/12/21/al-shifa-hospital-gaza-hamas-israel/

And yet all of Israel’s disinformation is allowed to stay up…

That’s cuz DDG is terrible. Kagi is amazing in comparison to both.

Fantastic. I left some other comments on here but I switched within days of doing the trial and I haven’t gone back at all. I think the total number of times I’ve used Google search since then is 3. Yes 3 total searches on Google in the past six months. None of those searches gave me what I wanted, but those were the times i couldn’t find what I needed with kagi. So 3 kagi failures in 6 months and Google wasn’t helpful either.

Kagi. I thought it was a ripoff to pay for search but I tried the trial and started paying before the trial was even up, that’s how much better it is.

Kagi.

Kagi is orders of magnitude better than DDG. I hated DDG results.

I hadn’t even seen other paid providers but I got real sick of Google about six months back, tried kagi on trial and paid for it before the trial was up, that’s how good it is.

Kagi. Way better than Google and DDG.
