This is exactly it. I glance at All on Lemmy for maybe 2% of my time here, primarily to see if I can discover a new community that I didn’t previously know about to add to my collection.
But it’s true. The real Lemmy experience is in your subscribed communities.
Slavery was about 99% of what drove the entire thing, so it makes sense to me.
The story is in the fact that they’re even asking.
Honestly, Google did this to themselves with not properly vetting the advertisers that they sell space to, and with oversaturation of ads.
If they’d have stopped granting ad space to scammers and malware spreaders, and if they’d have stopped adding advertisements at the line most people find tolerable (which seems to be a single ad between videos… not multiple at a time, and certainly no mid-rolls), they wouldn’t have triggered quite the level of ad blocking that they did.
I see this “problem” that they have as being entirely of their own making.
The tech exec who eats exactly 1,977 calories a day
No, he doesn’t.
It’s pretty much impossible to calculate EXACT calories in food you’re eating, as various foods types will have variations that are slightly larger or smaller than normal, even if you’re being meticulous with a food scale. You can get a pretty close margin, yes, but to definitively say “I eat exactly X calories every day” is a silly statement.
Maybe “My daily calorie target is X” or “I try to average X calories per day in my diet,” but you can’t be precise to the calorie.
Which is absolutely wild to me, considering that all natively born citizens received their citizenship involuntarily at birth.
