freebasenic··on YouTube will now show ads on all videos even if creators don’t want them
It looks to me that they are ramping up YT ads because they performed well in their quarterly earnings. I think Google is more self-aware then you are giving them credit.

freebasenic··on Moderna Covid vaccine candidate almost 95% effective, trials show
It may not be a risk to the young people, but they need to understand that their actions have consequences for the people around them (which is exactly why people are encouraged to wear masks).

freebasenic··on Disney's Park Rules Text Can't Be Selected by Mouse
Similarly, when copying and pasting text from the WSJ website, you get unnecessary dashes within the text. Like this: "Tra-di-tion-ally, lenders have re-quired a borrower to mail things like W2s"
