So I checked out reddit after a long time and was going through the top of r/videogames subreddit and I could clearly see a pattern in most of the posts there. Posts were mostly like "what game ______ for you?" or "what game _____ like this?" Now I could be wrong but it doesn't feel 'organic' (if that's correct way to put it). It's like these are put up intentionally. Thoughts?

FUCK ADVERTISEMENTS!

Why have us idiots been conditioned to PAY FOR A FUCKING SERVICE that has ads? Cable TV, satellite, xm radio isn't as bad but the bitrate they use is criminal. And now streaming services offer higher priced subscriptions in order to bypass ads. Its madness!

The ads ins Spotify podcasts do suck, but if the pod is on YouTube, just use youtube revanced. DM me if you want a link to set it up.

More people need to wake the fuck up and realize time=money. You are letting corporations use you, and get nothing out of it except stupid jingles getting stuck in the far reaches of your brain.

If i want to voluntarily watch ads, I'll look at ad compilatios on YouTube.

These damn kids these days... Back in my day, youtube used to not have ads! They have been conditioned to accept it, its crazy.

And hey man, be thankful for your 6 hrs, I get about 4 after I get home, before I have to sleep and wake up and do it again...
