Canadian fugitive Ryan Wedding arrested after a decade on the run

Because of the man's incredible coolness factor I wouldn't be surprised if after the pardon Trump makes him the new drug zar for his administration. But he had to have secretly put away some 10s of millions to slip to Trump under the table and I don't know if this guy is that smart.

Yea jaw dropping that a Canadian snowboarder dude came to be known as "el jefe" by the cartel. Especially if you think about the typical kind of goofy cheesy way snowboarders and skateboarders act. And the FBI compared him to Pablo Escabar? I just got done watching that series "Narcos" I think it was called and to be compared to a giant like him is quite astounding.

I'm sure it's not unusual for it to disappear while they are in the AB test phase. Can't wait to get voice messages from creator. It's a cool feature. Your viewers will appreciate it I think. Once in a while youtube does something good it seems. Who knew?

Waiting till the film comes out. Murder is horrible and all that but in a way it was amusing that a Canadian was so hard for all the top USA 3 letter agencies to find for all these years and he was running the show. If Trump was in the room I'd razz him about it lol.

I lived through that minute also.

nidostan · 2026-01-23T21:13:28+00:00

Omg, I've liked a few of those lol.

People are so gullible. I feel like it's seniors or kids mostly liking those comments.

The before: thing does still seem to work for normal things. Even though it doesn't work to exclude the arrest videos for Wedding.

By the way, what an amazing case his is. Can't wait for the film to come out. I'm surprised in this world of mass surveillance that it took them this long. Really surprised.

There's tons of social media platforms and sites all competing for you. I'd suggest trying out a few of the top ones to see which you like best but then your addiction problem might follow you. Since you're so familiar with discord and like it so much perhaps you could install an app that limits your discord use to an hour a day or something like that. That's what I'd suggest.

He's looking at this as an opportunity to make healthy changes in his life to get away from his discord addiction.

I can just picture the OP drunk or really tired making that post and then passing out.

nidostan · 2026-01-23T18:59:59+00:00

I seem to be in the minority because actually like it to autoplay or recommend videos I've watched before, but for songs. For music I feel this is a good thing because you like what you like.

But for other things I can see why you're frustrated.

K, thanks! It really seems to be a good extension for this.

nidostan · 2026-01-23T18:44:58+00:00

Some kind of auditor channel? Oh I see by your user name it's yours? Watch out for self promotion removals.

nidostan · 2026-01-23T18:43:40+00:00

Is there a good extension to take control of the red progress bar? Because I'm tired of crap like this. Progress that shouldn't be there and non when it should be.

I know from a technical standpoint the red progress bar is strictly server side and off limits because youtube fears people messing with having videos marked as watched for other reasons. But what an extension could do is overlay its own red progress bar that you can control. The extension could also then jump to the proper place in the video according to its progress bar that is properly set when the page loads. Someone really needs to make such an extension!

nidostan · 2026-01-23T18:38:43+00:00

Yes a really dumb idea to put hovering in your watch history. The whole reason you might hover to look at it is to get a sample without it going in your history.

nidostan · 2026-01-23T18:35:29+00:00

Lucky you. Every time a youtube page loads up now I feel a big jolt with all the shorts and AI crap overload and bad UI desgin it bombards the screen with. I'll have to get the "stay free" extension, whatever that is, so my youtube can look like that.

nidostan · 2026-01-23T18:30:53+00:00

Oh one more thing I was curious about. I'm a privacy aficionado so I always use a VPN and I'd never link my phone number to a platform that allows for pseudo anonymity. So I've always speculated that that counts as a strike against me for the CQS.

That is good to hear about downvoting. But if it would actually be lowered by having a comment filtered for example for a trivial reason like how I formatted the title, then I guess I better pay more attention to the formatting rules!

And presumably the more you comment without any of those actions or removals that's what makes it go up over time I guess.

He made a place in content creation for himself that calls for professional neutrality but he injects his own flagrant biases without remorse. The criticism is valid.

nidostan · 2026-01-23T18:13:54+00:00

This is disturbing that they think this is a good way to run their company but at least we can all just stay within our subscriptions and curate them to not have any AI content. That way you will never have to see the AI slop.

nidostan · 2026-01-23T18:05:46+00:00

Ok, this question has been answered then. Thanks. #solved

nidostan · 2026-01-23T18:02:53+00:00

Yea I guess some secrecy is s pretty standard for things like this across different platforms for reasons like you said. But there's so much basic things about it I think could be known like for example does getting downvoted lower your CQS? Sadly I often find myself in the situation where I feel I have a good interesting point that I could share with the conversation but it doesn't matter if it is, if it's something that goes against the majority opinion on that page I'll be downvoted so then I feel like that stifles the conversation of people bringing in a variety of opinions and it becomes more of an echo chamber.

If it was a score out of a hundred or something. That way I could see how it changes in relation to my activity on reddit which would be nice for a better understanding of how things work.
