I agree. I think what you describe is also seen in sponsor block.

People mark story telling videos mostly as filler content, so a beautiful 10 minute video is chopped down to only a minute or two and most of what makes the video great is removed.

Live music sets where people segment out the intro and outro to songs, so tracks are mashed together for a non-stop music experience, which I think misses the mark with live music.

I also find a lot of sponsor segments are done quite badly like the person who made them doesn't care or is in a rush. Eg. Today I came a sponsor segment that started 11 seconds too early. I only recognised it because it kicked in half way through a sentence.

Don't get me wrong, I still use the extension; I've just disabled most of the auto actions.

Many moons ago I tried Darrow for a day and got the same feeling as what your described. I decided the original video titles are superior and disabled the extension.

Based on your numbers, ~260k plays per dollar. The person in the submission would have to get ~2600 billion plays to get $10 million.

Something doesn't seem right with those numbers.

There are people on forums doing the same thing as the person in the submission. 1 person with ~30 phones can generate about 15-20k streams in a day doing it manually.

I had a friend who had a SanDisk and it also failed. I also think SanDisk thumb drives suck.

I've seen many Kingston drives at work fail, which I think is interesting because their thumb drives are some of the best. Actual USB 3 speeds and built well.

WizFile does a good job at it too. It works differently though; WizFile just looks at your partition table of the selected drive/directory. It's super fast in all aspects but it's only a single drive/directory at a time. I think Everything is slow to index everything but is super fast when searching and works across multiple drives/directories

WizFile is made by the same people who make WizTree and is essentially the same program, but instead of visually showing you the disk, it allows you to search.

Since when are they allowed to lock you out of your purchased property without a court order?

That's an oxymoron. Creditors have the ability to lock you out of a device you haven't paid for yet. Standard terms and conditions in B2C and B2B; you don't own it until you've paid for it in full.

Also locking you out of a device you don't own yet is cheaper than taking you to court.

There are many opinions about practically everything - even within STEM. I'm sure some will want an alternative wiki if Wikipedia doesn't state the opinion that they agree with.

I've never experienced those links coming back. I only ever see them again when I buy a new computer/laptop or if I reinstall Windows.

And yeah I mean the GUI ones.

If WizTree is available on Linux then I highly recommend it over all other alternatives.

It reads straight from the table and is done within a couple of seconds.

It's now been a while since I used Spotify, so no idea what it's like now. I started to get Spotify inserted adverts when listening to podcasts. After a month or so of getting adverts I stopped my subscription and moved to other sources of audio entertainment.

I paid for Spotify primarily to get away from adverts, secondly it was more convenient than being on the wavey seas with my parrot, black flag, and wooden leg.
