They would almost have an argument for charging if the platform was any good. It’s become a bloated, algorithmic, ad ridden, bot infested clunky shadow of its former self.

Thanks Steve. The problem I have at the moment, is that everything I recommend is now out of print or stupidly expensive as a consequence. Having said this, if you are into grainy, gritty street photography - “Record” by Daido Moriyama is worth a look and isn’t expensive.

YouTube try and place ads with the viewer and not necessarily a specific video they are watching. You can have thirty people watching the same video with completely different ads being shown to each person. You are better off flagging the video for inappropriate content.

Doesn’t work that way unfortunately. The advertisers won’t know which videos they are being seen on. You can report the vids to YouTube. If the creator hasn’t declared certain things about the content when monetising them, they can lose monetisation and it would force YT to look at the videos.

And I’ve witnessed the effects of people brutally beating police officers first hand. For no other reason than they were wearing a uniform. Not sure what your point is. 🤷♂️

Correct and do you think this is what a copper actually signs up for? To move peaceful protestors from a demonstration? It’s ridiculous to put officers in this position.

I’ll take that as an admission that you don’t have any experience of policing or having family members literally putting their lives in danger to protect people like you?

Nope. You are still not making any sense. You are just trotting out lines that you must have trotted out many times before. Your are not even addressing my comments correctly. I’ve not criticised anyone’s fight 🤷♂️

Mate you’ve honestly lost me now. You aren’t making any sense at all but if you are trying to make yourself feel superior in some way by talking to me like this, carry on. It makes me feel like I’m back in a 1980s A level politics class again.

We have a chancellor talking about how important growth is but at the same time she refuses to think about rejoining the EU single market. It literally makes no sense.
