The TailsOS devs say they include #uBlockOrigin in 🧅 Tor Browser "to remove advertisments", but tbh it removes all sorts of nasties.
Q: Do you think all 🧅 #TorBrowser installs should have #uBlock by default?
If you dont want to answer yes or no, ur welcome to just share so others know they have this option if they want to install uBlock manually. 🥸

thew real actual breakdown of how much YouTube pays for 1000 views,
Short version about $13 for a thousand views, but then google takes 45% for themselves off the top.
The real mechanism behind this are more complex, and intertwine between views, ads, clicks on adds, and many other metrics.
We should add that this is not just for high-school students.
Many adults go through life oblivious to how they are being led to believe all manner of hogwash, not by #advertisments but by content that looks and sunds #authoritative. sincere and even at times humourous.
The above BBC #documentary is a must for all ages.
Please tell me that those damn “Rogers Wrapped In Red Event” commercials will be left behind in 2022.
Wow...
What an astute observation on how people are manipulated and exploited to serve the bottom line of #business/#commercial interests, as opposed to the benefits to the customers!

Thanks FSF,
A passiveAggressive abuse is the #opacityZero that js-requiring sites feature. There might be a way to detect such (when a browser has #javascript disabled) and ask to remove the CSS?
We've also boosted often since January the growing danger around #lazyLoading images.
Though not using JS, it can argueably be used to fingerprint visitors, infer their #readingSpeed and as such #targetUsers with *bespoke* lazy-loaded images like #advertisments at the end of an articles, etc.

It gets worse. This has all the fingerprints of #Microsoft #Patent #060606 on it. Possibly representing an incestuous partnership between the two #TechGiants.
Read about the 15-or-so different #brainwaves they'll be collecting from people while they play and watch #advertisments.
Think targetted #stimulusProgression…
And this time our #society lacks the understand it had in 60s to #rebel.
