Anyone who dismisses a legit problem or issue because they don't have to deal with it are not helping.

They either have a certain update, driver, etc., that's prone to work that might be lacking on someone else's end. If users like that were offering technical support, they'd be flat on their ass the first day.

I'm not complaining about my favorite chanels having ads, or anything interesting I happen to stumble uppon.


However, having an ad at the beginning or the end or the middle or maybe all three, if the video is longer, is one thing.
Making a XBox hueg video to show a solution that should have been 20 lines of text and/or 20 dots on a map to begin with and deliberately stalling so you can cram it full with ads is another.

I had a friend that, if he spent money on something he would defend it to the absolute death.
Fuck, even buying it isn't a requirement now that I think of it, he won an HDMI cable at some stupid thing for his job, and raved about how awesome and fast and amazing this HDMI cable is.
He used it for a week before it started giving bits of static and desynced audio. His reason for this was "it's too fast for my TV and stuff, so it gets ahead of itself and does that, i need a new TV"

like holy fuck dude. Glad i dropped his ass first chance I had. Jewed me out of a couple hundred dollars and threatened to have me 'out on my ass'. Watched him trick friends and acquaintances for shekels all the time so i knew it wasn't just a random isolated fuckup, he just forgot i don't take that shit and I'm smarter than him.
Haven't spoken to him since. Feels good. Mostly. Shitty friends are still friends
