  • The image doesn’t quite work because youtube needs a MASSIVE solution that works, scales, doesn’t fuck up their infrastructure and on and on and on.

    Meanwhile on the user front, all your doing essentially is just skipping parts of a video, that will always be infinitely cheaper easier to do. Challenging for sure, but the solution can be small.

    Even something as stupid as delaying your video start by 1 min, pre buffering then skipping ads. It’s brute force and barbaric but the point is that Google can’t do shit against that.

    My ultimate vision is AI that preloads videos you want and detects ads / sponsor segments and just skips them / cuts them out on your device.


  • I honestly wonder how those meetings go. It has to be comical villainous to spend so much time trying to fuck over your customer not allowing them to fix what they purchased from you.

    I just don’t get it, if an item breaks and I can’t at least try to fix it, there is no way I’m purchasing from the same brand again.

    So what is the motivation here? The thing that has kept me with companies is good customer service and a generous warranty service.

    Denying claims and making it impossible to fix it myself will get you instantly on my ban list.

    So what gives? How did we get here?
