Thank you for this perspective. It is against reminder of how sad it is to be a part of something as an Engineer, or even as a janitor so long as it wasn’t a contracted out company, where those above make way to save themselves while the workers who made everything get left with nothing or another round of a resume update. The workers should get the sold profits, not just the executive parts. They sometimes don’t even get the ethics and degrees that allow you to understand the work.

It seems also harmful to our humanity of Amendments treating disabled, brown, and black people without suspicion and abuse.

Seems the same with State unemployment benefits too, just maybe not as deadly.

The worst of all issues to me was any interruption working to help feed people or the destitute immediately has a 5 second skip, while all else has 59, 30, 20, 14 skip. There was no benefit for good externalities, just cost and profit. I was even ok with ads around 5 seconds and that they can even show up before watching a video. Adding the countdown was a nice touch too. It’s when it gets in the way of UI/UX, how you have to suffer through the same commercial over and over, interrupting a video at critical moments, and ending videos with an ad so that you don’t know if the video is ended that it gets awful to use. I would hope someone gets to making it 5 second ads that don’t take away from the experience.
