If I could have afforded an Aztec when they came out I would have bought one. There are dozens of us.

the steady increases over time have a boiling frog effect. Someone could probably start a gas subscription business right now to offer a steady price at participating gas stations for a monthly fee and make a FUCKLOAD of money.

The owner of the mansion they're having the party in: wav

That settles it. It's pronounced Yiff.

my employer fired a double digit percentage of their workforce and then instituted draconian RTO policies to, in the words of an actual HR leader, "get rid of a few more without paying severance".

Within 3 weeks almost half as many people as they had fired had quit. Pretty much every single team lost their most critical employees. They started back pedaling that policy at week four, but they don't realize the only good people left are just being picky about which offer they take from where.

I feel like I'm summoning a roko's basilisk here, but here we go:

Google should entice people to watch the ads. They should slip in random "free YouTube premium for a month just for you!" ads or quick time events or whatever that you only get when you don't block ads.

"Thanks for watching the ad! Here's an extra 10GB of storage, or points to our store, or whatever!"

Giving out free whatever premiums to your gigantic ass ecosystem to some tiny ass percent of your users will EASILY increase eyeballs faaaaaar more than this blocking shit.

that visualization doesn't help, at all

They get those results by excluding dumb kids. Public schools don't have that "luxury". It's all an illusion.
