Why wouldn’t they, it’s not like anyone is making them act differently.

What does air smell like?

The corpos will get rid of copyright when it becomes inconvenient. Like when they want to use copywritten data to train AI models.

You can lead a troglodyte to knowledge but you can’t make them think.

Yes, they should step in, and direct those parents not the rest of society that isn’t a failure to their children. Maybe letting your children engage in pornographic material should be against the law, not the porn that any reasonable person can consume without involving children.

Maybe if you aren’t fit to care for your children, you shouldn’t be allowed to have them.

The world isn’t made for children, where are their fucking parents?

You are allowed, just ask what it means. Don’t be a whiney little bitch that people aren’t hand feeding you every scrap of information, nobody is cognizant of your ignorance so don’t blame yours on them.

There’s people on both sides of every fence who get there through circumstance rather than cognizance.

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupitiy, and I’m not so sure about the universe.” - attributed to Albert Einstein

Using initialisms prompt self learning for those that will, and wilful ignorance for those that will not. No one is responsible for anyone elses individual lack of capacity. Funny how your situation only encourages introspection in one half of the conversation.

If you’re going to use that word you should at least know what it means so you don’t sound stupid.

That’s strange, ignorance is supposed to be bliss.

Athiests don’t have a problem with Middle-Eastern Socialist Jews, the ‘Christians’ sure do.

He’d be back faster than a starlink satellite.

I’ve got a better argument but it won’t hold up in court. If a company is making a profit then all costs of production, operation, and provision have been covered, every single shareholder from the individual worker to the CEO to the suppliers have all been paid adequately and fairly for their contribution, the consumers with the means and ability to contribute have, and I thank them for enabling the ability to socialise access to the product for the rest of the society that propped up the corporation so that it could produce.

If you want to argue that suppliers, producers, and workers haven’t been adequately and fairly compensated for their contribution then why is there a profit margin?

In fact, it’s morally acceptable to socialise the benefits and production of any corporation making a profit, though the law has this pesky tendency to call it theft.

Google already confirmed they were causing deliberate delays on YouTube videos for people detected using adblock. Extending the enshitification is all they have now, sold their soul to steal a buck.

Huh. They really drill the capitalist shill into you with that American “education” system, don’t they?

As long as a company is making a profit all costs have been covered, all employees, suppliers, and producers have been paid. Those in society who have the means and the will have ensured this product exists and has been paid for and I thank them for their contribution. That allows the rest of humanity to enjoy the socialisation of their contribution to the masses, who have not the means or the will, but who ensure the rest of the system is available and working to support everyone’s ability to contribute.

If you want to argue that employees, suppliers, or producers aren’t adequately paid, then why is there a profit margin?

That’s like saying Walmart trying to stop the small percentage of people who shoplift is the epitome of corporate greed. YouTube is a paid service. It costs money to run

They make a profit, operating costs are covered. You do know that right? Profit is surplus? You’re not so poorly educated to not understand the most basic principal of capitalism?

Am I defending Google?

Yes.

Trying to monetise the fraction of a percent of users who actively avoid your advertising and wouldn’t engage with it or purchase products from the advertisers even if forced to watch them is the epitome of corporate greed. Pathetic, money grubbing billionaire corporations deserve to burn to the ground rather than be supported by the societies they leech off like the cancer they are.
