  • I’d like to see a breakdown of the subs, I imagine many of them are on promotions like the Black Friday $29 a year deal. Let’s say it’s just 10mm of them, that leaves 21 million others, not knowing if they are paying the ad-supported price or the higher price, I’ll just use them as a whole, it works out to everybody needing to pay an extra $40 over the quarter. Streaming just costs too much for everybody to have a service and by the time companies realize it and try to go back to licensing everything to Netflix it will be cable-like pricing which will push more piracy or continue the push of young people turning to only YouTube or TikTok entertainment.












  • Now, I am on the can we ban Threads train, I wasn’t at first because they hadn’t gotten involved in actually joining the rest of us, now they are and they’ve admitted they want all our information too, I just don’t want any part of that.

    They’ve never met a piece of data they didn’t want to mine, have they?



  • Ratings weren’t good, so ad sales were probably bad, It barely made the top 100 TV shows in the ratings and was getting 4.7 million views on average according to Google. At the time that was not a good number, Fox’s teen drama The O.C. which came out in 2003 was doing 7-10 million viewers an episode for its first year. Sadly, sci-fi shows usually get bad ratings and advertisers don’t want to pay to put ads on those shows and then boom, cancelled.

    People will point to Buffy and Angel as examples of Sci-Fi that wasn’t canceled sometimes, and that’s not fair because they aired on UPN/CW and that channel has always allowed bad ratings.


  • I followed this from Ublock’s Reddit page, it’s working for now.

    Current anti-adblock status: Latest fixed (ID: 462a8d5d)*

    Please, remember these 3 steps:

    Force update all your filter lists (click uBO icon > ⚙ Dashboard button > Filter lists pane > 🕘 Purge all caches > 🔃 Update now)
    Turn off all other extensions AND browser’s built-in blockers
    Remove all your current custom filters AND custom filter lists that you have enabled / added manually (Adguard lists…)
    It might be quicker to make a backup of your config and restore to defaults before proceeding to step 1.

    Fixing anti-adblock can cause ads slipped. If you see any ads slipped, please report back the EXACT URL and your country when accessing the URL so volunteers are able to investigate.

    The filter lists can be updated multiple times a day, so please always do step 1 before reporting.

    • About the ID above, it’s the ID of YouTube’s script that’s used for anti-adblock, you can monitor it via this link: https://pastefy.app/G1Txv5su/raw (top to bottom is oldest to latest). It means that the current fix is matched with the script with corresponding ID.

    If the latest ID (the last line) does not match the current one written above, it means YT has updated the new one and it might cause anti-adblock again. If it matches and you still get anti-adblock, kindly check the 3 steps above. Thank you.
