That last story he tells there (about the masked interrupts), that’s what fascinates me about computing. 😍 You’re close to the machine and you’re dealing with interesting problems. I find this way more intriguing than all the “modern” hyped stuff like “““AI”””.

> I'm willing to get that Google™ is losing ad revenue from sponsored advertising and sponsors of Youtubers.

That sounds like a plausible explanation to me. (Then again, I have little insight into how “making money on YouTube” works. 😅)

Like @lyse, I skip these sections immediately, unless it’s just one or two sentences. If it’s too long, I might just close the tab right away. 🤷

@prologic I always aggressively jump over this stupid shit and never listen to it. That means I might miss some actual good stuff right after the garbage they advertise. But I'm not willing to seek back.

@darch But this is what I'm confused about. Why would my Twt contains a reference to http://darch.dk/social instead of http://darch.dk/twtxt.txt -- which the later is what I @-mentioned? 🤔

See, even a video I was just watching on Youtube just now, the guy said:

> THanks for Surf Shark for sponsoring this video, it keeps the content free.

So that basically tells me that Google™ advertising on Youtube™ is utter bullshit. I have a funny feeling they're (Google™'s) crack-down on ad-blocker is just an internal reaction to a losing battle with their ad revenue streams in the declins from their ad business.

----

As an aside @movq and I were yarning about this before... The reason this form of advertising works so well is "brand awareness". There's some interesting content, and you don't mind that the guy or gal is sponsored by some company and they happen to make mention of it and even go into a special part of their video (_without being annoying about it_). You don't even fast forward or anything because you already like their voice, and they're not being completely obnoxious about what they're promoting, and what they're promoting isn't complete garbage, malware or worse.

@darch I needn an example of where this breaks down I think. Do you happen to have one? 🤔 By all rights, looking at the code paths, the issue raised really doesn't make sense to me. The Source is the Twt permalink on the source pod that contains an @-mention of the target's Twtxt feed. So that should validate just fine hmm 🤔

@prologic I don’t have a clue if they work or not. 😅 There are probably studies, but I’m too lazy to search now. 🤣

I, myself, don’t remember even having clicked on one of those banners and then proceeded to actually buy something. But what certainly *does* work on me is the effect of hearing/seeing a certain brand over and over again. “Oh, that’s a Logitech mouse, I know that manufacturer.” Stuff like that.

SO now Linux GIzmos a website that I regularly like to subscribe to and read via RSS/Atom -> Twtxt has now suddenly gone down this path of "Please disable your adblocker, pretty please, because ads help support us!" -- Geez christ! 😱 🤦‍♂️ The answer is "fuck no". Not only can your ads not be trusted as you have no control over them, they can be downright dangerous too! 🤬 Fuck me 🤦‍♂️ Wtf is going on here?! First Youtube, now some random little site?!
