  • A steep decline of artistic progress is ahead of us. Things will get reused by corporations even more and we‘ll have to get used to not seeing as many actually new things which I find pretty sad.

    It‘s exactly what happened to civilization in the Blade Runner universe. It may look futuristic but they‘re still seeing the same brands and hearing the same music and jingles from a century ago. There‘s very little actually new in a world where there‘s more content than anyone could consume in a lifetime and nostalgia is commodified to the absolute maximum.













  • Wouldn‘t be surprised if this was an accident. Wouldn‘t be the first time something gets messed up after a Youtube update where Youtube simply changed how some things work for functionality. These things can make Adblockers act up in a weird way.

    I for example noticed last week the first video of a session starts at an automatic resolution of 360p. I have to manually change it to 1080p. Then it remembers this and keeps it for a while. I could blame Youtube for this but I bet it has something to do with the fact I‘m skipping ads and Youtube suddenly doesn‘t know anymore in what resolution the video should be served. Perhaps it‘s getting an error and thinks I have a worse connection than I do and tries it‘s best to load the video anyway.

    What I‘m trying to say is: We don‘t know why exactly Youtube acts up. Could just be a bad interaction from an update that is purely unintentional. Either way Adblocker devs will find a fix for it quickly like they always do.
