We need to revive the days people write blog posts to help others instead of pushing ads to make money. The content was far better.

I have a few roku boxes and a Google TV Chromecast. The Samsung TV I bought is a smart TV and it's slow as crap. I ended up putting a Roku box on it and use it that way. Now when the TV starts I have to hurry up and hit a button on the Roku remote to wake it up otherwise the TV starts auto playing a random channel from their new TV app that you can't seem to uninstall. I'm really just waiting for the tv to die so I can go find a new TV that isn't smart. The problem is those seem to be more expensive now.

I like the Google TV Chromecast because it aggregates all the services you sign into and can start showing me things I like and may want to watch next, right from the home screen.

But you are right, the tv itself being the smart device just isn't worth it for me. I'd rather have a dongle or box I can swap out if it starts going south. I have a Plex server and I need something in order to play that on the TV unless I just start getting a casting device and just cast from a phone.

The comment threads here are weird. Who, in their right mind, would ever support a country like Russia? It's mind blowing.

Please, just no. Keep those scum influencers away. It would immediately ruin the platform.

This just keeps getting wilder and wilder.

How wild that would be. Withdrawal all his campaign donations and just up and go to Russia. He could put a spin on it and make his base extremely upset and violent because the evil left forced him to flee because it's all rigged.

They should have never allowed a bond to be set. He should have just been kept in jail until the trial. Any of us normies would have had to...

And the video itself is monetized.

The closer I got to Christ, the less republican I became. I had to actually stop going to church because my views changed so drastically, the other church members were attacking me. It's certainly crazy to discover that mainstream Christianity today is anything but.

This isn't "something". This is a "we're sorry (not really)" video. If you watch it in the context of "I have no favorites in this game" and look it it pretty objectively, it feels like just a bait to try to stop the bleeding.

A week? To refine all the processes in that size of a company? No. I've gone through these processes before and it takes months to evaluate, talk to employees, get processes down properly, especially when you need to really start over from the standpoint of "this isn't working". They even mentioned they are still having scheduled videos coming out... Did they check those for errors first? I doubt it.

A week to get their inventory control back on track? With the size of their warehouse? No way.

The fact that they let Linus get on there and make the tone deaf statement he did, still backtracking on the billet labs fiasco. He acted like a petulant child who doesn't have remorse.

They are going to post their updates to their processes on floatplane? What. The. Fuck. So no communication through YouTube. You have to pay in order to see how they will do better.

And. They monetized the apology video. They knew they would get the most views ever out of that one. And they monetized it.

I've watched quite a bit of their content and had trusted it in the past.. but I have the same feeling about them now that I had when I found out about Jared from adventures with purpose and his whole "I'm just here to make as much cash as I can" attitude, aside from the fact that he's a child rapist. It just feels scummy to me.

Are we at an airport?

Freeloader. Enjoy your free stuff off the backs of people doing all the work and paying all the bills.

Where are the ads, anyway? I don't think Ive seen a single ad yet.
