I just tried to look up a specific video of a Nick Swardson stand up bit. All I searched was “Nick Swardson loitering”. There were 5 fucking ads before an actual user posted video, then one real human posted video that barely had anything to do with Nick, then 5 more fucking ads.
I knew they were forcing ads into videos but clogging the entire search feed with ads is unfuckingbelievable.
Is this really what it’s come to? Ads are more important than what I’m actually looking for? Are people really okay with this?
I take it you haven’t been paying attention. The term that has been it coined is called “enshitification” and the Google is running at the head of the pack in their race to the sewer.
We should probably stop using that word and just call it by it’s proper name, "Capitalism”. The only way for an ad revenue based business to drive growth is to force more and more ads on users, and flood their platform with bots to increase engagement numbers.
It can be two things.
No, the kids are
scared to type scary-sweary words nowtoo stupid to know when and where they need to self-censor so the term is ensh*ttificationOP has some catching up to do
No, the kids have learned that if you mention a swear word or something that could be a swear word on capitalistic social media, you get censored.
That’s b*llshit
m*therfucker
Capitalistic? Lemmy.ml does it too.
Some h*bits die hard
Ole Sharkey never did get them damn Gamgees.
AuthLeft taking authoritarian practices from other ideologies? Color me shocked.
What the fuck? So if I’d comment this from lemmy.ml they’d delete that comment?
Don’t they have better shit to do?
Not the whole comment, but the word would get removed. It also applies to any comments posted to communities hosted on the server.
So much for free speech, eh.
That’s sad. But hey, I see my instance hasn’t done anything yet!
I know Youtube, TikTok etc. do it only to be able to sell the content better to advertisers; if there’s swearing in it, gullible children might not be allowed to watch it, so less ads sold.
I wonder why lemmy.ml does it?
Cool, have sorted it for you
No, I just don’t; the profanity is part of the point. It’s meant to convey the magnitude of the deliberate running of the quality of the things in order to feed the bottomless hunger of the capitalist abomination ruling over all of our lives.
