What these idiots fail to understand is, that if they succeed in destroying Apple, then they won’t be able to keep using their iPhones. 

I expect we’ll now have to enact bills on how many documents can be ordered in ehat timeframe. 

Iris-gate.

I simply can’t believe that Samsung has released a poor-quality product and user-experience! 
What is the world coming to?

I sentence this AI author to five years Windows Phone usage for flagrant use of FUD and melodrama.

Once upon a time, there was a lovely new website where anyone could create their own movies and put it online. Many were very happy with this non-corporatised viewing production and consumption experience, and the site grew and grew.

About the same time, there was an excellent new search engine-cum+advertising company which changed the web from a garish, irritating billboard of pressure sales to a refined, user-friendly space where we, the viewers were prioritised.

Unfortunately, the corporate culture of making a profit dorve the search-advert company to buy up all the web viewing spaces it could, and the very popular video site was an excellent target.

Sadly, the monetisation of other people’s material, sticky rights management issues and making a profit, have all turned the video upload site into another revenue generator for a big company which shows no care for us, nor any style. 

AdBlock is free and stops the stupid adverts from destroying the hyper-distracting and irritating layer of crap that has slowly invaded YouTube like terminal cancer. Many people use Patreon to support themselves, rathwr than random advertisements which often place terrorists next to skin care products, or human trafficking next to cpu testing rigs.

There is no need, nor reason, to allow Alphabet to lock other people’s comtent up behind VP6 or whatever, just so they can continue trying to profit from thier disgusting and offensive business practices.

it isn’t we who need to bend over, but Alphagoo which must try a new approach to staying in busniness, preferably one where we, not other comoanies wanting our private information, are the customers and beneficiaries.

PS: Welcome back DED!

I have been waiting for a longform DED article,for quite some time

Mike W certainly does not cut it. There are only so many times I can re-read RoughlyDrafted, and AppleInsider's search function seems to have been written in 1992.
Yay Dilger!
