What holds youtube from blocking all videos to addblock users just as other sites do?

It’s a constant game of cat and mouse, an arms race till the end of time. You can’t block videos from ad-block users if you can’t tell which users are using adblock and which are not.

I don’t understand why self hosted videos aren’t more popular

It’s quite complicated technologically, and requires quite a lot of storage space. Viewers only go where the creators go, and the creators have no reason to go to someplace that is more of a pain in the ass to host videos.

Shit like that is also a far, far better use of airspace/resources

None of us should ever have to go back. We need to vote them out of office like our lives depend on it. Because they very much may be if the right wing decides to go full Gilead.

It’s not a perfect replacement, and I never claimed as such. But for most people’s needs, gimp is perfectly capable.

That, and Gimp is quite a capable photo editing tool.

it reads like whataboutism.

If you have problems with me saying ‘Isreal’s crimes are wrong’ without clarification about Hamas being bad as well then you should have first had problems with the guy saying “Hamas attacked Israel in the bloodiest assault in history”, implying everything Isreal is doing is morally permissible.

They clearly have a regard for civilian casualties.

People who bomb civilian areas do not care about civilians casualties.

And you inserted your own pro-Hamas

Saying that Isreal shouldn’t be killing civilians and doing ethnic cleansing is not pro-Hamas.

Neither party should be doing those things.

You can be against the Israeli government’s war crimes AND against Hamas’ war crimes.

I am.

Try it, having principals instead of an agenda is freeing and might feel good to you.

Perhaps you could try not assuming the worst out of people you don’t know.

When I say “indiscriminate” I mean “disregard for civilian casualties” not “random bombings”.

Please keep insulting me. I’m becoming so convinced you’re right.

But you Hamas supporters

I don’t support Hamas.

and only care about Palestine because they’re brown

No, I’m just against ethnic cleansing, which is what Isreal is currently doing and getting billions of dollars in support for.

Isreal shouldn’t be doing ethnic cleansing, nor should Hamas.

Your white guilt is so fucking lame 😂

It’s really a sign of intelligence to assume things of people you don’t know and have only ever spoken to on the internet.

The next budget is due in a month, so there’s a good chance he’ll be gone after that.

So the lettuce has a nonzero chance of outlining his office.

Hamas doing something horrible doesn’t make it OK to starve the entirety of Gaza

Terrible thing Hamas has done

Hamas doing something horrible doesn’t make it OK to starve the entirety of Gaza

Terrible thing Hamas is doing

The U.S. is about to dump billions in military aid for Isreal.

Here’s France:

Amid fears the fighting to spiral into a wider regional war, French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in Tel Aviv on Tuesday and told top Israeli officials that he came “to express our support and solidarity and share your pain” as well as to assure Israel it is “not left alone in the war against terrorism.”

not as an organized and permanent method of displacement.

Yeah right

They’ve been bombing civilian centers that they know are predominantly of Palestinian ethnicity.

They’ve been evicting people from their homes based on ethnicity. The law gives Isrealis preferences in land disputes.

And now they’re telling everyone in Gaza to abandon their homes.

These are three different actions.

Isreal is indiscriminately bombing civilian/Palestinian population centers and diving people out of their homes.*

What Isreal is doing absolutely falls under the category of genocide.

Kill civilians is indefensible.

Well gee, that sure does give Isreal the right to do ethnic cleansing. It’s self defense after all so everything is permissible. /s

They’re going to blame democrats for not voting for a moderate republican, even though republicans are the ones who can’t get their act together and elect somebody who isn’t pro-sedition.
