I wonder why 'Literal Arms Dealer' is in quotes.

It's not Voyager's fault, Lemmy has always promoted dead and abandoned communties as "trending". The grouping is useless and can always be safely ignored.

On desktop, I use an ad blocker to hide the div.

You could also say electricity or copper is a large component of it but I would argue that it's really just another tool being used to fleece victims. I don't feel the issue here is AI or is even largely exacerbated by AI. There are no ramifications to the people that are behind the scams. That's the real problem.

This is another issue that really has nothing to do with AI and everything to do with the lack of protection to consumers via the outlets allowing and collecting ad revenue from unscrupulous and illegal enterprises.

Why wasn't "not go" an option?

Your point is taken but It would again beg the question why someone that wanted to block ads would buy a device designed by an ad company.

Why are uBlock users even on Chrome? The two are completely opposed to each other philosophically.

What a bullshit title. It had nothing to do with being unable to see it and everything to do with typical driving while browsing your phone.

Why don't you do a comparison to decide for yourself rather than nameless people giving you their often prejudiced opinion?

It's reddit, you get what you get. That's why the majority of us stopped using it.

Media companies are owned by billionaires. They're protecting their investments. The "News" has operated this way for decades.

I disagree but we'll revisit the conversation in a decade as I added the task to my calendar so I'll talk to you in 2034.
