      Why do so many people abbreviate adverts/advertisements to “adds”… where is the extra d coming from ?

        I’m with you there. When I see “adds”, I want to know where they’re coming from and who’s going to tank them.

        Ads, on the other hand, those I’m content with knowing my adblocker is taking care of it.

      On the flip side, I am genuinely curious how much storage and processing time all the AI slop being uploaded is costing them. Some of that stuff is hours long, and like most videos on YouTube, most people aren’t watching it.
