  • It’s a pretty ineffective strategy, but I’m just going off this one photo.

    If it’s genetic, and the females can’t get a blood meal, then they won’t lay any eggs to pass on those genetics and just die.

    Then the ones without that gene will lay all their eggs and the next generation will be unchanged and they have to spend all that money again to do whatever they did which had no effect.

    Also ad lock blocks ads on all of the platforms you use. YouTube plus just removed them from YouTube… I ain’t paying 20 different places for ad free use when they charge like $15+ each, maybe if it were $1 each for nah they are all greedy.









  • It’s pretty stupid to introduce ads on the pause screen. Usually I would pause something because I am either:

    A) Being interrupted and need to focus on something else like a phone call or a family member talking to me, and wouldn’t be paying attention to the screen anyways.

    B) Need to leave to go somewhere else like the fridge for a snack and wouldn’t be paying attention to the screen anyways.

    Or

    C) Just want to take a break and want to do something else which involves opening another window or program and wouldn’t be paying attention to the window with YouTube open.

    In every scenario where I pause YouTube and add playing would not provide any value to the entity paying YouTube to play the ad.

    And in every scenario, if an ad began playing when I pause youtube it would cause me to mute my sound and/or turn off my monitor and just cause me to get super annoyed at YouTube or at whatever product is being advertised and how to never buy it ever.
