Thoughts on the adpocalypse 2020?

Anyone seen the freak out regarding YouTube deleting accounts not commercially viable? This is in their new terms but so far my account hasn’t been deleted so I think that got misinterpreted

I run several businesses I have independent emails for and I use a bunch of throws away accounts for signing up for things I am not seriously into. Every site you go to wants you to "Sign Up" which means they want your email so they can spam you. If it is something I don't care about or just need temporary access to for some project, I use a throw-away account so I don't end up with junk mail in my important email accounts.

How do you create accounts without being asked for a phone number? LIke 9 out of 10 times they ask for an SMS confirmation (I have dynamic IP, so I keep trying until one of the IP's doesn't trigger this verification thing).

For instagram, same s**t, they block most accounts without phone verification, then they ask you to send them a pic of you holding a paper with a code, your full name and your username, of all things.

Google ask you for your phone number, but you don't have to give. Any site that ask that requires a phone number, I either refuse to use or I use a burner number. It takes 30 seconds to get a 100% completely anonymous phone number. Just download and app called, TextNow. O use it all the time when I list items for sell on craigslist. Ince the sell is complete, I delete the number and use another.

Remember. NOBODY has a RIGHT to know your personal information, and giving it to people you do not personally know, is EXTREMELY dangerous. Did you hear about the 270 million facebook profiles that were found on an unsecured server last week?! No worries for me, because not one shred of my facebook profile is real. When Yahoo and all the other got hacked I just laughed. Not one of them had a real piece of information about me. There is a reason you will never see my face online.

Identity theft is REAL. Don't be naive. Protect yourself by keep personal information off the internet.

Well, maybe they changed it recently. I have never had to give them a phone number, but it has been a while since I created a new email address. If they now require a phone number, I will just not use gmail anymore. There are plenty of other email services.
 
Funny story! LOL!


A modern Christmas Story.

IT SNOWED LAST NIGHT.....
8:00 am: My kids and I made a snowman.
8:10 - A feminist passed by and asked me why we didn't make a snow woman.
8:15 - So, we made a snow woman.
8:17 - My feminist neighbor complained about the snow woman's voluptuous chest saying it objectified snow women everywhere.
8:20 - The gay couple living nearby threw a hissy fit and moaned it should have been two snowmen instead.
8:22 - The transgender man..women...person asked why I didn't just make one snow person with detachable parts.
8:25 - The vegans at the end of the lane complained about the carrot nose, as veggies are food and NOT to decorate snow figures with.
8:28 - We were being called a racist because the snow couple is white.
8:31 - The middle eastern gent across the road demanded the snow woman be covered up.
8:40 - The Police arrived saying someone had been offended.
8:42 - The feminist neighbor complained again that the broomstick of the snow woman needed to be removed because it depicted women in a domestic role.
8:43 - The council equality officer arrived and threatened us with eviction.
8:45 - TV news crew from ABC showed up. I was asked if I know the difference between snowmen and snow-women? I replied "Snowballs" and am now called a sexist.
9:00 - I was on the News as a suspected terrorist, racist, homophobe sensibility offender, bent on stirring up trouble during difficult weather.
9:10 - I was asked if I have any accomplices. My children were taken by social services.
9:29 - Far left protesters offended by everything marched down the street demanding for me to be arrested.
9:45 - The FTC threatened to sue me 42K for COPPA violation because my neighbor had a for sale sign in their yard and I did not designate the display as "Not for Children".

Moral of the Story:

This is what happens when you have too many SNOWFLAKES!

This is brilliant.
 
has anyone so far been hit with automated tagging for kids and not for kids on their videos? I ask because I haven't and it's 2020

yeah but I seem to remember reading something about if you had children in your video it would automatically flag it as for kids. I have two videos with children in them and it hasn't flagged them automatically yet. The wording was a bit confusing because the FTC said it meant children that were models and some lawyer I spoke with about it seemed to think they meant children hired as actors not children in general.
