That "certain percentage" is 100%.

Not wanting to be referred to as cis, is just as ridiculous as not wanting to be referred to as straight. It just means "not trans". The women who don't want to be referred to as cis are TERFs, so their opinions are irrelevant.

Anon doesn't realise that towns can have more than one divorced deadbeat gay dad in them.

Because the measures that economists use to measure the economy are not relevant to regular people. GDP tells you nothing about living standards.

At the same time Israel was releasing Palestinian "prisoners" (largely children and largely imprisoned for petty crimes like throwing stones) they were capturing and imprisoning from the West Bank (where there is no Hamas) roughly the same number of people as they were releasing in Gaza.

Name an alternative browser that has the same level of ability to block trackers built in.

I'm using it right now. Working just fine so far, exactly the same as the reddit version, and I haven't been asked to pay $20 for it.

Literally nothing lol. It’s just a right wing conspiracy theory based on fear of change.

My interest are gaming, standup comedy, memes, react videos, metalurgy, machining, blacksmithing,

Because a lot of the type of guys who like seeing those stupid conservative videos also like many of the same things as you. Gaming^(TM) is well known to have a problem with the alt-right, react videos have a very similar structure to conservative “libs destroyed with fact and logic” types of videos, and finally a lot of conservatives like to think of themselves as an old fashioned man’s-man so they enjoy things like metalwork and other typical “manly” careers.

Bud light saw a temporary drop in revenue because a big part of their market is right wing reactionary morons. Ben and Jerries doesn’t market towards those types, they’ve always been a relatively ethical and left(ish) leaning company. Saying something like ”the United States is on stolen indigenous land” will only make B&J’s more popular.

Also let’s not forget that Bud Light is just one of the several hundred brands that are owned by Anheuser Busch, the actual drop in revenue is basically nothing to them.

I’ll stop using ad block when YouTube stops making me watch an advert at the beginning of the video and then two unskippable ads one minute into the video.

Because they want to mine their platforms for more profit at the expense of their users/customers. It's just how capitalism works.

If you look back over history corporate changes like this tend to happen in waves. like for example a few years ago Disney and Warner Brothers and HBO etc. all took their programmes off Netflix and created their own platforms at around the same time. This is because they are all copying each other. One corporation thinks up a new way to harvest money from their consumers and all of that corporation's competitors do the same because they don't want to miss out on all that cash.

Reddit is pushing their third party apps out of business because they want to force their users onto only the official reddit app. Probably they also have a plan to further monetise their app in the near future as well (e.g. way more ads or paid subscriptions tiers that unlock more features). Youtube closed down all the third-party apps because people were using them to get around the ads, and YouTube wanted to force more and more ads and also the subscription service because that's where they get their money from.

Literally the only reason they do it is to increase profits.
