  • Honestly, Google did this to themselves with not properly vetting the advertisers that they sell space to, and with oversaturation of ads.

    If they’d have stopped granting ad space to scammers and malware spreaders, and if they’d have stopped adding advertisements at the line most people find tolerable (which seems to be a single ad between videos… not multiple at a time, and certainly no mid-rolls), they wouldn’t have triggered quite the level of ad blocking that they did.

    I see this “problem” that they have as being entirely of their own making.




  • Their No. 1 problem with it is how difficult it is to observe and monitor employees

    Um, no. Like others here have pointed out, the overwhelming majority of office workers have to turn in countable digital product of some sort for their job production. LOOK AT IT. Was it the quantity and quality required of them? Well, there you go.

    Also, what the hell are you on about, hypothetical boss? In today’s technical age, so many bosses can just remote view a worker’s screens (even when the workers don’t know that it’s happening in real time).

    It’s creepy to spy, but if you really suspect someone’s away from keyboard extendedly when they aren’t supposed to be, you can literally just look in.

    “I can’t monitor my employees” is such a weird complaint when counting is a thing and tech tools are out there designed to let you overview your workforce.

    Am the the only weirdo who swapped over to Linux without knowing a ton about it, and didn’t really have any issues? I just started with a Windows-user-friendly distro (Mint Cinnamon), and then just looked up how to get through any weird (to me) issues that I encountered over time. Gradually learned more about what’s under the hood as I went.

    But I see these memes and stories about “I tried Linux, it lasted a week and I went back to Windows” here and there.

    It’s not scary. Am I missing something? XoD
