    Shit's making me ready to kill myself tomorrow. No, Youtube adblock doesn't matter, most of my Youtube consumption happens on the TV app with my remote. This isn't about personally losing my bread and circuses, this is about how the best social medium we currently have is Youtube other such mediums like TikTok (don't even use it, but recognize it as extraordinarily important and innovative). But every way the ruling class forces us to change our lifestyle based on their ads borders on life ruining. Because it's not about the actual bread or the circuses, it's about elevating the bread and circuses, making them bigger and thinner than ever so we feel more satisfied but more starved.
