Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 How about they must be registered to post their garbage on my computer? That wouldn't make me a cent but I'd happily pay to make them do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 They could care less if you're "registered". All they want is your E-mail address so that they can sell it AND bombard you with endless spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that, but we still get people posting things on this wire that have that...or something much like it...connected to the things they post.

Some of the YouTube videos were viewable at the time they were linked to here. Then Karens flag the video as adults only and YouTube starts requiring you to log in for that specific video.

Pat Riot Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Their Game, Their Rules. Don’t participate. Simple. And the video would’ve probably had something in it that would have ticked you off and raised your BP. That’s how I look at it. They did you a favor.

Henry T Harrison Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I made the mistake of looking up oil change places on google. Ten minutes later my internet feed was flooded with oil change ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Yep. This is why VPNs are so popular... they obfuscate your true IP address to avoid trackers. The best VPN are those outside the US boundaries, and legal jurisdictions. Your Google request is transmitted to a VPN in China which acts as your proxy. It makes the request to Google, then sends the results back to you. VPNs are favorite tools of software pirates and pornographers, because they (mostly) hide your IP address. Gov't agencies can, and will, subpoena VPN companies located in areas with mutual agreements with the U.S. You are the cash cow with endless buckets of money for the marketeers to tap into. Everywhere you go on the internet, you are extensively tracked, identified and marketed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
