wrosecransI've never knowingly signed up for a "family plan" on YouTube.And "renew" and "reactivate" are two different words so this is clearly designed to be more confusing than it needs to be.

Matt GoddenLooking at my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Podcast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Podcast</a> subscriptions, I realise I haven't listened to an episode of Ed Zitron's Better Offline since September last year. While the content may interest me, I just couldn't deal with the sheer quantity, and pre-recorded, non-host-read nature of the ads.It's strange that a guy whose profession is PR, and who complains about "the rot economy" (though <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Enshittification</a> is a better, and actually catchy phrase), can't see it happening in his own output.

Additionally, their countdown to <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#enshittification</a> is already telegraphed by a tone deaf CEO who brags about his "two exits" on their about page. 🤢🤮

Working Class GamesWas trying a duckduckgo search for a restaurant in town, and I clicked on a link to read it, then came back to the search results. Suddenly a bunch of links disappeared and the first two links were now tripadvisor.I selected hide site from these results and immediately a tripadvisor link from another url (different country) pops up. I kind of kept going and hiding about 15 results and new tripadvisor links kept popping up. This went on until "Search query entered was too long. Please shorten and try again."So is this a bing-underneath thing, or direct enshittification of duckduckgo?This is while using uBlockOrigin, but that didn't help, I didn't see any way that the ads differed from the normal links either.<a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/search" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#search</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/searchEngine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#searchEngine</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#enshittification</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/adsAdsEverywhere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#adsAdsEverywhere</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/duckDuckGo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#duckDuckGo</a>
