A little warmer out today but I miss the sunshine.
@matigo things are starting to grow around here. Actually need to mow my lawn now. 😭
@nitinkhanna I've seen a few such sites, but YouTube eventually figures out how to block them. Kinda like whack-a-mole.

@nitinkhanna remember the business that Google is in: serving ads. The more content you watch, the more ads it can show against that content. So having their algos promote more videos you'd be interested in watching is in Google's best interest.
Of course, no advertiser in their right mind would want their products/services advertised against some of the abhorrent shit on YouTube. That and the resulting outrage from advertisers, i.e. those who actually pay the bills, is the only reason Google (and others) are bothering to take any action against this content: because it cannot be monetized.
Remember folks: you're likely the product if you're not paying for it. And these companies are only cleaning up their service not because of some moral imperative, but because it's impacting their bottom line.

@matigo I jogged around the harbor this morning, which is gorgeous on a clear morning.
@matigo The shirt came from one of our partners…and yeah, it was a little cringey. But compared to the other stuff I've seen printed on T-shirts, this isn't nearly that offensive. 😝
