One of the most common types of bullying in the US is the use of zero tolerance anti bullying rules as a mechanism for bullying.
Example: kid A punches kid B. Then immediately kid A reports kid B for bullying him because kid A knows how the bullying rules work (because they are a bully). Then kid B gets in trouble for getting bullied.
Typically kid A’s parents will enthusiastically back then too because their kid “gets bullied all the time” while kid Bs parents aren’t experienced with the policies and aren’t positive that their kid didn’t do something wrong (because they are normal parents), so they don’t fight it too hard and just want it to go away.
Ask any teacher in the US and they will tell you that they see this all the time and most every kid that supposedly “gets bullied all the time” is doing exactly this.
Don’t worry, there is a slightly less senile and marginally more human out of touch old man with bad ideas here to save us. Lucky us, I know I’m inspired to be led by shitty old man A or shitty old man B.
This is why the whole “marvel vs DC” thing is fucking stupid. Most people don’t know or care about that difference, they just know they saw a shitty superhero movie. Better movies overall help both companies.
Lower Decks is awesome. The only thing I didn’t like about Picard is that romulans and vulkans need to wear nametags if they are both going to wear federation uniforms.
But YouTube DOES have advertising and they have had advertising for a decade, everyone that uploads content knows this and accepts it and in many cases is able to monetize their own content. You are arguing that you are entitled to use third party software to personally avoid ads, and your only argument for it is that you’ve been doing it a long time.
Honestly, just don’t go to that part of the Internet unless you absolutely have to. YouTube is a great resource for information, but it sucks as entertainment.
OG startrek was probably the “wokest” thing on TV in the sixties. And a bunch of grouchy old men that no one cared about bitched about it back then too.
