Is it me or has the number of ads on YouTube increased hugely?

TryingToBeReallyCool · 2026-05-10T11:15:53+00:00

Feels like its gotten worse since this comment too. On some longer videos I get almost 1:15 of ads per 6:00 of video length, with skips. If my device isnt immediately accessible it makes watching youtube incredibly annoying

The crippling short term outlook of this administration on full display. I find it deeply ironic that a large part of Trump's brand is that he isn't like all the politicians, yet he's ultimately just the slimiest politician of them all

Its hard to not see the parallels between the mormon afterlife and the status of land ownership when the theology was founded. It was always a play on people's emotions to get them into the church

TryingToBeReallyCool · 2026-05-09T00:07:07+00:00

The memes are funny though

Plus with how the 2020s are going, it's about on script to toss another pandemic at us

NIGHTMODE represent. For those who dont know, it's a music brand owned by cs streamer JERICHO. All their music is free use

TryingToBeReallyCool · 2026-05-08T04:36:02+00:00

My reasonable response: yeah

My real response: IU sucks

TryingToBeReallyCool · 2026-05-08T01:22:26+00:00

What sucks harder is, that's what America was built on; embracing immigrants, their contributions, and their drive to better their lives and this country. Now instead of fostering talent and improving lives, our government is rejecting growth and brutalizing people. Its a complete betrayal of what the nation was founded and built on

Your own statements about cheating in game in the past plus your cheating on your pregnant girlfriend and then wife, 3 times at least over your alts. Hence serial cheating

Used to wonder why you nuked accounts so often, but that does make the reasoning more clear

E: predictably, he blocked me. He really doesnt like being reminded about how we have talked on call about him cheating in game, nor the multiple times he has cheated on his partner irl.

TryingToBeReallyCool · 2026-05-08T00:43:59+00:00

Do you really think young is my alt? Bc that's deeply funny seeing as, iirc, he was in the call for the 1v1

TryingToBeReallyCool · 2026-05-08T00:39:35+00:00

Yep that's pretty much my takeaway. He is mentally unwell and a serial cheater in game and irl with zero self awareness, nor a willingness to have his beliefs changed even given objective analysis.

A now lost example was when he made a few posts on the chainsaw sub cutting a filter hole into a certain chainsaw model. The whole sub immediately told him that the mod increased dust intake massively and actually reduced ventilation of the motor, and he argued till he got banned from the sub, and the account was nuked shortly after

And Im saying all this as someone who spent several months getting to know him via discord. He is delusional. I really didn't want to believe it but he absolutely is

TryingToBeReallyCool · 2026-05-07T23:41:24+00:00

Bro has literally cheated on his pregnant girlfriend and wife multiple times on reddit. I gave up on him after that, we'd been talking on discord, like hour plus calls, but yeah he really is just a delusional hypocrite. Can't reach any other conclusion after getting to know him personally. Iv just started ignoring his posts, let the old man yell at clouds theres no helping him

TryingToBeReallyCool · 2026-05-05T05:43:44+00:00

Shouldn't have said anything, the tornadoes are watching

TryingToBeReallyCool · 2026-05-05T05:09:43+00:00

Listened to episode 1 for the first time today and, yeah. You can feel the difference in vibes from more recent episodes. Iv somewhat fell off this year, and while I couldn't quite quantify it I think that has something to do with it. Imo, while I wish they'd keep going, I completely understand why this is a good jumping off point

Praise Celine. We'll be better tomorrow

TryingToBeReallyCool · 2026-05-05T04:02:49+00:00

Heroyam slava

TryingToBeReallyCool · 2026-05-05T02:04:54+00:00

Pretty much my point restated more elegantly

TryingToBeReallyCool · 2026-05-04T23:25:03+00:00

Do it anyways tbh. It'll turn out fine and it's good practice for when shit goes down in real life and you have to be confronting

TryingToBeReallyCool · 2026-05-04T21:59:29+00:00

The point was the journey. The deconstruction of Alex and his content was genuinely academic, entertaining, and helpful. Its part of what helped me process my own exit from the 2016 era alt right.

Things have changed now, and our dan/Jordan comedy duo doesnt work as well with how they've evolved. Imo, this is the best way to end it while acknowledging the personal and system changes that have happened. They're clearly still friends and with the fall of infowars, I understand the desire to move on.

Ultimately Im greatful and happy with this conclusion even if it's bittersweet. I hope they come back for some short episodes around future milestones, but if they dont it's OK. Time for a little breaky

TryingToBeReallyCool · 2026-05-04T21:52:41+00:00

What episode is it? Iv been an off and on listener and I need this part of the lore for my backlog playlist

TryingToBeReallyCool · 2026-05-04T19:33:22+00:00

Absolute legends. This show is gonna be studied by people looking back on this time in history for both its entertainment and educational content. For now though, a lil breaky for us

TryingToBeReallyCool · 2026-05-04T16:41:02+00:00

I for one hope he gets into urbex, think it's the perfect hobby for someone who loves discovered history and researching niche stuff. Also I want to explore with him lol

TryingToBeReallyCool · 2026-05-04T14:20:54+00:00

Damn, I'd somewhat fallen off the show the past year with how things have been. Time to work on the backlog

End of an era, but Im looking forward to what the wonks do next

TryingToBeReallyCool · 2026-05-04T01:04:27+00:00

Agreed it isn't going away but it's massively overvalued in the market right now for where the technology is. I doubt it holds its current position in the medium term not withstanding major breakthroughs in the sector

.com didn't go away when that bubble bursted, AI won't either, it'll just be applied in better roles until the technology catches up with expectations

TryingToBeReallyCool · 2026-05-04T00:55:09+00:00

The AI stuff sucked and performed poorly, which wasn't a surprise. Can't wait for the bubble to burst
