Youtube Depends on Ads to work (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)

Seriously launched the app (by accident today) and what is this? They're trying to play the victim from the big bad ad blockers saying all they're doing is trying to show an ad at the beginning of video, and then I see all of this crap.

This was after a non-skippable ad at the beginning followed by a totally real "survey" that it wanted me to fill out, one interruption so far in the content, and now three ads on the screen. That's 45% of the screen dedicated to ads. Freaking ridiculous. "But please turn off your ad blocker".

Is the Simpsons good again?

How much of it have you watched in recent years? What happened on the episodes you watched?

It sure is funny how many people that haven't actually watched the show since like season 6 still sound off about it like they have any idea what its currently like.

I've tried. Marge's voice is like nails on a chalkboard. Most of the voice actors are so old they don't sound like the characters at all anymore. At least they stopped doing the trendy celebrity guest of the week on every episode.

I second this. They're trying so hard to be inoffensive it's eroding the satirical stereotypes that every character is supposed to be. It's a hollow shell of what it once was.

[-] perishthethought@lemm.ee 10 points 10 months ago

It's so bad, I can't figure out who's still watching the show at this point. But they are, so there must be enough viewers to make it worthwhile for Fox, so maybe I'm the one who is wrong?

No, no. It must be the kids.

(That's a line from an older episode for anyone not a fan of the show)

Well apparently enough people still like it to downvote me lol

Pretty sure it was because of the 'trying to be politically correct' comment.

EDIT: The comment originally said what I quoted, which is now changed to inoffensive. Then the replies to me were deleted.

it’s eroding the satirical stereotypes that every character is supposed to be.

Bets on this being about Hank Azaria no longer voicing Apu?

I think is Ok, I really liked the episode of Marge accepting that Baby Bart is growing up. The NFT/Snowpiercer part of the Halloween special was also good.

Maybe try some episodes and see for yourself?

YouTuber 20 minute opinion drops, sorry, "video essays" are a dime a dozen and the vast majority have nothing notable to say. Better to just try things for yourself and make up your own mind.
