YouTube Ad Blocker Saga Continues

Wild: Google confirms it *is* throttling YouTube load times for some viewers. Firefox users reported the issue today. Google says, instead, it’s supposed to tackle ad-blockers regardless of the browser used ! https://www.404media.co/youtube-says-new-5-second-video-load-delay-is-supposed-to-punish-ad-blockers-not-firefox-users Source: https://twitter.com/josephfcox/status/1726732228296647106 So far, I am watching ad-free videos using brave / Newpipe!

Viners, finally I’m frustrated enough to make a move on building my own business. Just curious about what b2c SaaS would you not mind paying 100 / month for? Preferably in the capital markets / personal finance space?

A speacial place in hell for Hotstar

Showing 3 ads every 10 mins to users who have paid for subscriptions is silly and stupid. They are running out of ideas and happy to see Hotstar content moving to JioCinemas. Put an end to this nonsense

What are some life hacks that people generally don't know?

I hate how the Spotify app works now. Without premium you cannot listen to songs in your playlist in the order you want, you can't play the previous song, you cannot move the duration bar either. However, I recently realised that if you listen to Spotify in a web browser, you get all the above perks without premium, and if you have a good as blocker, even the ads don't disturb you. Did you know this? What are some other hacks that people generally don't know?

The new chrome redesign is lovely 😍

I'm not sure if I'm the last person to move to this, but I didn't see it on any of my coworkers either. This is very neat!
