I use an ad block, but I also use the whitelist feature. Very like cognizantly of like making sure that the people I want to keep reading are whitelisted from that. So many places are shutting down now because they're losing money. And this is even beyond just online video. How many ads do you see on ESPN? Like when you watch TV aren't there like four consecutive minutes of ads or something like that for every 10 minutes of TVSomething crazy.
This was a crazy week for social media apps, but first the gang talks about the Zenfone 10 now that Andrew has had a chance to use it for a week or two. Then they talk about YouTube testing and Twitter implementing a (temporary?) rate limit on the same Reddit officially started charging for its API. After that, it's all about Threads. The new Twitter-clone that that Meta just launched which Marques had early access to for the last few days. He gives his first impressions on the app and talks about what makes it interesting before we end it all with some trivia. Follow us on Threads if you have the app! Links below.
