I'd be really, really surprised if a bunch don't bother doing anything. Maybe most.

I just noticed he also mentioned sponsored ads in Amazon results and etc, which are definitely worse than in YouTube/etc videos.

I've cut down buying from them quite a bit, but when using the Amazon app, or web without adblock, the sponsored results have made the shopping experience SIGNIFICANTLY worse in the last 6 months.

It used to be that you'd see one here and there, but the volume of "sponsored" results has gotten ridiculous, and the quality is awful. Half of the sponsored results I see - at best - are very specifically not what I searched for. Sometimes not even close.

It's one of several reasons I hardly buy from them anymore.

Of all the ads being pushed on us, this type seems like the least egregious to me.

That didn't last very long.

You answered a question with a good answer, just not to the question they aske. They asked about the comment - "it's not the game we bought into at launch". They were talking about how a lot of people complained that what the game was at launch wasn't what had been advertised - what people "bought into".

You seem to be explaining why it's "not the game you bought at launch" - which is definitely a valid argument too, just to something else.

Every Atari 2600 game ever made is like 2MB compressed :)

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

One of those compressed Wikipedia dumps, and a whole bunch of retro games. And several MB of text-only ebooks. Compressed of course.

Thats not really an answer to their question, though.

Also I disagree :)

Oh god, so there is absolutely nothing they can ever do to make up for it, I guess. Even after like 10+ MAJOR updates and expansions over 6+ years for free, they can't possibly ever do enough for some people, I guess.

You could try watching it...

For what it's worth, I like it, and I'm kinda old.

Oh man, if you've never worked in an environment like that where you're outnumbered, you probably don't understand why this is would be really tough.

Keiko is the worst villain in the entire Alpha quadrant.

That is all.
