Cm0002:

waltzes into chat about deceptive links

clicks a deceptive link

realizes they have been deceived

Cm0002: "No, it is the person who posted the deceptive link who is wrong".

Lmao, it's less about the deception and more about where it led to 😂

Its all good. I'm glad it came across as good natured ribbing, lol.

Jokes on you I saw the ad first.

3/4 of screen space filled with ads, how do you live like this?

[–] lukalix98@programming.dev 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't use yt on my phone. I was actually interested what op put behind the link. I thought it would be a rickroll, but yk, I had to click it. I know, it hurts me too, seeing other people suffer so many ads. Also this is my newest phone and I don't have the time to spend tinkering around ad free stuff.

Don’t have time, but have time to click suspicious links in case it’s a Rick roll?

Once you see the XcQ it's too late.

[–] _g_be@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

It's true. If you recognize the URL enough to avoid it, then you've been rickrolled without even clicking it. Wirelessly brain rickrolled

You don't have an adblocker? Wild

[–] lukalix98@programming.dev 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

For a youtube app? Or did you mean on the network level? Because I've yet to tinker with the latter..

[–] gwl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah the latter

Exactly what I expected. Thanks for not letting me down.
