No, you don’t. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be showing me this notice asking me to turn off my adblocker. Either that or I hate ads way more than you do.

It’s a bit out-of-scope, but it’d be a great SponsorBlock feature!
Yeah, the dislike bar used to be a thing. You could see how many dislikes there were compared to likes, all represented on a line below the two buttons. It was sort of like this image, except imagine the “yes” and “no” as a single line (but retaining their separate colors).
They’re at least understandable (usually), but they’re like 5-10 seconds behind the video (sometimes longer), and they can be difficult to interpret at times.
Honestly never seen that happen.
Most times, I see it used on ads, political figures, and Elon himself.
I recently blocked that instance, so who knows?
That’d require a bit more knowledge than the average YouTube user has, unfortunately.
Careful - if we ever detect evasion, that’s a lifetime IP ban.
And lose out on any potential future profits? Probably not. Especially if the IP is dynamic.
Yeah, definitely not impossible. I had to install some TamperMonkey scripts to get Twitch adblock working, but it works.
No, silly, that’s Audio Over Ethernet! /j
Just based on what I’ve seen from other AI implementations (including Windows Recall), it seems like he was at least right that it’s a security nightmare.
I’m not saying he said that out of the goodness of his heart or whatever. He definitely only said it out of jealousy or some other self-serving reason.
My broken clock statement wasn’t meant to be taken as a compliment. It’s the opposite. He’s been wrong so many times that I’d gotten used to just pointing and laughing at anything he says or does. And it’s gotten to the point that I’m genuinely surprised he actually said something “right” for once, even if it was for his own selfish reasons.
In a series of posts on his social media platform X, Musk shared concerns about whether Apple and OpenAI will protect users’ information.
He called the software integration between the two companies “an unacceptable security violation,” and said Apple has “no clue what’s actually going on.”
I can’t ignore the irony.
I still call it Twitter. I refuse to call it anything with the letter X in it. That includes “X (formerly known as Twitter)”.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day as the saying goes.
Though he’s right for entirely the wrong reasons, I’m betting.

Only $30?
Found the thread on HN. Here’s what (I’m guessing) a mod had to say:
It set off the flamewar detector, got flagged by users, and got downweighted by a mod.
The ‘customer support of last resort’ genre is common and not usually a good fit for HN [1]. If people feel this story is unusually relevant and interesting, I’m not sure I agree—long experience has taught us that one-sided articles like this nearly always leave out critical information—but I also don’t mind yielding in an occasional specific case, so I’ve rolled back the penalties on this thread.
The issue from our point of view is not about story X or company Y—it’s a systemic one: the most popular genres of submission (especially the rage-inducing ones) get massively over-represented by default, so countervailing mechanisms are needed [2] if we’re to have a space for the more intellectually curious stories that the site is meant for.
How so?
