Netgear routers are no longer banned, no matter where
they are made:

Your country? Forget it, you land robbers!

Sure it is perfectly ok if "the good ones" spy on us. ;-P

This is all the more reason to build your own router. I'm using an
Thinkcenter M720q as they're quite expandable.

From what I have read, youtubers do not get paid for likes and
comments. They are continuously asking for likes and comments because
they are attention freaks who thrive on statistics. I should think
that if someone clicks on the youtube advertiment that pops in before
their video starts, that they might get paid from that. I personally
am sick of the devious statements they try to use on people to get them
to like and make a comment. This usually entails saying something like
"I want to hear where your are listening from" or asking people to make
a comment as to a question they ask they viewers in the 'peanut galley' (referencing the children sitting in a small side gallery while filming
the 1950s Houdy Doody Show). I never reply and very rarely click the
up check box.

YouTube's AI has totally fucked up the experience.

Why should I have to see two ads to listen to a three minute song that has another AD pop up halfway through it for a total of three ads?

Another thing to piss you off. YouTube has random videos auto-playing as
soon as the app is opened - some of them screaming and making loud noises. Whenever it does that, I vote down the next ten videos I see.

Nothing like volume taking off at eardrum limits late at night, there
should be laws against that. I left the tube ()they shut me down) but
rumble is no better.

The thing I hate the most is youtube requiring you to login to view anything. The login window says it is to prove that you are not a bot.
That is not what they are doing that for. They want to track you and
sell you data. I have gotten around this login evil, but don't ask me
how. If people start doing it everywhere, youtube will find a way to
block me and everyone else.
