peanut_worm··on YouTube currently testing 5 to 10 unskippable ads before video starts

Sure but even there computer viruses have changed a lot since the 90s and 2000s. First they were purely destructive classical viruses and worms, then they shifted to extorting people with fake antiviruses and trojans, and now they are mostly ransomware.

Malware is much more rare but also a lot more dangerous now.

Will we see some similar shift in advertising?

What happens when everyone starts using ad block? Is the advertising market just going to collapse? I don’t think even the most willing consumer would sit through 10 ads for a youtube video.

peanut_worm··on Evidence says Wikipedia is accurate, reliable. When will we take it seriously?

Yes. I have had edits stay for months.

peanut_worm··on Evidence says Wikipedia is accurate, reliable. When will we take it seriously?

It can be taken seriously enough but I can also change Suleiman the Magnificent’s birthplace to Nairobi and no one will notice for a week.

Wikipedia should publish curated “editions” like a traditional encyclopedia.
