Well to be fair, that wasn’t until 6 hours after my comment and 9 hours after yours, so neither of us could have known for sure.

Complimenting a username is nice, but you don’t have to throw in a disclaimer about political alignment. I don’t think any of your hexbear friends, if they’re reasonable, would call you a lib because you complimented the username of a guy whose instance is populated by libs.
I wouldn’t be surprised, but I’m not convinced downvoting comments has any effect on YouTube.
The names and PFPs still give it away if you know about them.
They’re not just “casually” stealing comments. They steal a random comment from the video, then have a bunch of other bots give it a bunch of thumbs up so that it appears towards the top and accumulates more upvotes than most human comments make. 95% of the time it seems, the real comment has one or two upvotes and is buried so far you have to scroll multiple pages to reach it.
At least it doesn’t look like it shrunk too.
I have no problem with the acceptable ads system. ABP doesn’t get any money from it, and the ads have to meet the criteria anyways, and it’s easy to opt out. I guess it’s a bit fishy that the list maintainers charge money to get ads reviewed, but the FAQ ThunderWhiskers posted says that smaller companies get it for free, and they only charge the bigger companies. I’m not gonna get up in arms over someone charging Disney money for a service they give the local deli for free.
I also like the way it gives companies an incentive to produce less intrusive ads. With the system, unintrusive ads reach more people. Otherwise, it’s all or nothing, which makes intrusive ads the best option from a greedy perspective; they’re far more likely to be clicked, and the only cost is the risk of damaging the ad ecosystem as a whole (and you know how little corporations can care about damaging ecosystems.)
The alt text doesn’t help, can someone explain the joke here?
I suspect there’s a law requiring it, because I don’t think corporations would choose to be that nice.
If you want an honest answer, I’d recommend finding some place that has a decent population of openly right-wing people so you can get an answer from them directly, rather than left-wingers snarking and saying they’re all brainwashed fanatics that would never dissent from the party’s candidate.
You ever think about how weird it is that RPG means two different genres of game depending on whether it’s a video game?
If you want to make cool things, you play Minecraft. If you want to do cool things, you play Terraria. In Minecraft, it’s all about gathering resources and building, and the combat is an obstacle on the way to that. In Terraria, it’s about combat, and you gather resources and reshape the world to help you fight bosses.
The terms are that you have to insert your license agreement text? Man.
The dog is polite enough to stop chewing so you can force their mouth open, but doesn’t grasp the concept of dropping it on their own.
Something I learned fairly early in German class.
Du
Du hast
Du hast es
Du hast es gemacht
If you want a more accurate translation/explanation of the lyircs: Hast and hasst are homophones. Hast means have and hasst means hate. At the start, it sounds like it’s “du hasst mich” (you hate me,) because the alternative doesn’t make sense. But then when gefragt is added, the past tense of ask, it becomes “you have asked me.”
“Und ich hab nichts gesagt” means “and I said nothing.” Nein should be translated to no, but otherwise it’s pretty much just wedding vows. That translation is not literal, but that’s to be expected for songs.
Tales of Vesperia. I like the combat system most, but the story’s pretty good, and there’s a lot of optional content.
I’ve seen this one before, but the alt text had me in a (silent) laughing fit anyways.
