  • All you have to know is that when Twitch banned Gambling Streams, and some of the people who made bank on those streams started to complain about Twitch, a couple of guys behind large gambling sites decided to open their own streaming platform called “Kick” that gives a much better cut of advertising and allowed gambling streams, and got allot of bottom of the barrel (but not all of them) streamers, especially the ones who have been banned off of other services but were popular.

    Supposedly they have been getting better with their enforcement, and started getting better detection, but then their is all the stuff that comes with gambling too.









  • Marques Brownlee: “Don’t pay for what something will be, pay for what it is now” and “I don’t review what will be, but what a product is now”

    Also Marques Brownlee: “Pay the subscription fee now for the unnamed unspecified features this will have other than just wallpapers now to fund future development”

    Who knew the next company he would “kill” would be his own. The only way to find his app on Android is to use the link from his site because of the generic name.

    BTW Wallpaper Engine, which has an android app, is currently $5 Canadian, and I am told with Proton can also work on Linux PC’s and has an huge amount of modifiable wallpapers.


  • I don’t know… maybe it is because I am consuming most of my YT content on desktop and that carries over to my android experience. As a matter of fact I don’t consume shorts on Android and that may be the difference. My feed on desktop is all computer stuff, CBC stuff, occasional Marvel stuff, and ASMR stuff, and half of that I don’t watch.

    I really feel sorry for you if that is what your Android Experience is. I would suggest GrayJay or New Pipe to get out of the Algorithm then. I could remember back about 5 years ago when I started getting full episodes as an ad, of absolute religious trash, and I am talking when I reported them the channel was banned in a single report trash, at a time when I, due to illness, that I would listen to while soaking in the tub with a lift to get my sick ass in an out, and they would put 45 minute shows as ads. I would get so angry but its a long ad, so it wasn’t worth me getting out of the bath to skip it, and 15 minutes later of “Kill the HOMO-Sexuals” and “that current bad thing happened because we voted in those godless communists and socialists… why we should just hang them and save the country! A-MEN!!!” and I was using up power on my bath lift to get my sopping wet butt up and report their ass. After the 5th report I temporarily moved to New Pipe and stuck to desktop where I got full episodes as ads but not THOSE episodes.

    YouTube can really fuck themselves over when they sell contra-ads on leftist, or any media, and now they are reaping the whirlwind with the ad platform and the search platform in the middle of Antitrust right now.


  • I don’t get allot of that, possibly because I have History turned off and refuse to turn it back on.

    • I vastly avoid Right Wing content, and most of what I do encounter is like old school Republican, reeeally old school Republican. They are as pissed at the Right Wing’s take over by the Alt-Right(and worse)
    • YouTube has games?!?
    • The shorts content I get is mostly computer content and news, some branding because I have entered contests, and that is it. I have seen 1 short that was even approaching jailbaity and it was an add for a coming of age movie.
    • It has been literally over a year since I used Google to find a video (well except for a tech support video I keep loosing the link to that I use to help people with installing Windows 11 Locally) and I have been using Startpage which anonymizes Google results.

    If you disabling your Ad ID and turning off your history and you still get all that BS I would be looking for an Exit Strategy to.






  • Food is food. Do what you want to do to your food because you are eating it. Other people aren’t eating it so they don’t get a say. If most people saw what the original pizzas were they wouldn’t recognize them and some wouldn’t like them, including modern Italians.

    Tabasco, in my opinion, is just like eating a pizza with peppers or a bunch of pepper flakes on it, or as I sometimes do, ground cayenne pepper.





  • FUTO swipe isn’t there yet, but last I looked it was damn near what I was looking for, but the Swipe was useless. I should check it out again. And I don’t like using beta software for something as important as the keyboard. I don’t think I have tried Anysoft Keyboard before… I will have to check that one out.

    Update Anysoft Keyboard doesn’t have swipe typing and it obviously wasn’t developed with English in mind. Typing in some of my secure passwords would have had me hopping between multiple screens. Great for some people but not for me.

    Nice try and thanks for the suggestions. Futo is is still in Alpha and my old phone is still down so I won’t be testing it either. Thanks for the suggestion.
