The fact that I cant go to YT and select play all on a channel anymore makes its primary use, music, pointless to me.
Another issue is Pandora, they keep forcing mobile site on Desktop User Agent setting and I work too many hours to go in and change the identifiers needed to make it work. Their app is busted as well, it asks for permissions and will semi-frequently crash when I dont give them permissions.
The whole internets basically becoming shit because of corporate incompetence. Not even willful malice, just idiocy.
That's because they want you to pay a subscription fee for YouTube music.
For the Pandora app, they don't want you using it if you don't give them permission to do whatever it is they want to do.
It is malicious. It's often incompetence too, but it's also malicious.
Even if they benefit from me using YT Music, they make no sales pitch at any point leading up to me seeing the button is gone and leaving the platform. They are just missing out on tons of ad revenue from users that otherwise would have stayed and listened for hours.
And Pandora also assuredly did not design their app to crash.
I don’t know this for sure, but I feel like this is something you can do with freetube. Regardless, it’s worth looking into.
I don't like using apps to start with tbh, 100% pass on that. Installing random software to phones should never have become so commonplace.
Fun little piece of trivia: the primary use of YouTube is not, in fact, music.
Fun little piece of trivia: my primary use of YouTube was, in fact, music, you illiterate nimrod.
Clearly. That's still in no way the primary intended use of YouTube because, you know, video?
You over redundant lossless head!
Lets read my statement back, abridged
Is this like a sentence structure that doesnt exist in other languages or were a nonnegligible number of lemmings homeschooled?
I mean, it's obvious what you meant, but that's still awful grammar on your part.
When read properly, your wording means that you are stating that YouTubes' primary use is music, which is useless to you.
Getting to your actual meaning requires interpreting around the literal meaning of what you wrote.
This, my humorous fellow netizen, means:
Something AND something make the primary use (of said thing, YouTube), music (the specification of what is the primary use), pointless to me (such that I did not find said primary use any longer possible).
We know what you mean because we are charitable enought not to assume you think the primary use of youtube is music, but you fucked the wording up and I made fun of you for that.
What you wanted to say should have been phrased as it follows:
Now if public school in your country were better funded, you'd understand that my poking fun of you also had a different implication: it's not that unreasonable for YouTube to have people suck huge bandwith to stream videos just for the minimal amount of sound data attached.
Fun little piece of trivia: Originally, nimrod used to mean "skillful hunter" (after Nimrod, the biblical figure) but then in 1940 Bugs Bunny sarcastically called Elmer Fudd a “poor little nimrod", and kids of the time not knowing the reference, simply assumed it was an insult on Elmer's character.
And that's how a cartoon rabbit single handedly changed the meaning of a word.
That's what's up, Doc.
