So Google stole content from publishers and now they tell publishers to shove more advertising shite onto their websites to benefit Google even more.

Besides, if users never visit publishers' website, who exactly is going to be seeing all these new ads and gimmicks?

This isn't the 90s anymore, Google.

Sounds like they want to turn the entire internet into youtube, with preloaded ads.

You're assuming they're rational and not greedy bastards.

That's fine but what you do inside your castle shouldn't affect people who live in their own castles next to you. Don't be a disturbance to others. As that old saying says: "Your freedom ends where another person's begins".

You forgot to mention that this mediocre, medieval stock costs a fortune.

Thanks

They must have been doing so well.

Must be a software engineer going through an existent-IA-l crisis.

Sometimes you've got to degrade yourself to primitive methods to send an understandable message to some ignorant, self-important halfwits, you've got to speak their language.

All sorts. They'd come and try to tell me to stop, they'd threaten me with violence, shout in my face, or they'd just start their own music super loud. Plus many more little things...

I just kept saying in response that if they keep me up at night, I'll keep them up in the morning so their ability to sleep till midday depends on their own behaviour.

Took a few weeks but eventually sleep deprivation made them concede.

Count yourself lucky.

I had noisy neighbours. Proper raving lunatics. Loud music until 2-3am every night.

Since noise enforcement effectively doesn't exist in the UK, I took matters into my own hands.

Oh, did I mention that I play bass guitar?

Since the boise restrictions only apply between 11pm and 7am, I figured out that if they rave yill late (early), they must hate waking up early, too.

A couple days of practicing bass guitar at 7am, depriving them of sleep and their sleep cycle got forcefully corrected. Had to repeat for a few weeks to let the message sink in but then they learnt not to mess with a guy with a musical axe.

The most persistent, harmful noise where we live usually comes from our noisy neighbours.

In the UK, specifically, the noise law enforcement effectively doesn't exist. For example, if you have raving lunatic neighbours, you've got to go through the council which takes months and 99% of the time doesn't result in any action. There's no one to come and witness the noise at your property when it's happening and take a note/action.

Just because you push a piece of software onto corporate devices doesn't mean that people are "using it". But of course, they want to impress the market, bending reality to their narrative.
