Welp. The whole YouTube thing has made a turn for the worse. Weirdest part? I'M STILL NOT SEEING THE POPUPS.
And I might've found an EVEN EASIER solution for it!
If using Firefox, head to your Privacy and Security settings
And then...
Enable "Always" under the "Do Not Track" setting. Because some people will habitually miss this, this COULD actually help you in the long run, since I saw a source says that some browsers have a built-in "Do Not Track" signal set up. Microsoft Edge being one of the browsers that has an automatic "Do Not Track" signal set up. Regardless, be sure to set your "Do Not Track signal up to "Always" on whatever browser you're using. If this has been what has been keeping me from seeing these popups on YouTube, then this is a WAY easier way to avoid it altogether!!
And by all means, tell me if this has worked for you. I've been wondering why the HELL I haven't seen of the YouTube popups, and this may be why!
MAJOR UPDATE(10/28/23):
Do NOT forget to disable pop-up windows on your browser's settings, because this is ALSO something I happen to do by habit that has ALSO kept the YouTube pop-ups away. My mom just figured this out and I forgot to inform her about this too, so NOW I've gotten it figured out!
According to other sources, YouTube's ad-blocker detection software is REALLY good at finding ad-blocking add-ons for browsers, so setting "Do Not Track" to "Always" and "Block Pop-up Windows" is possibly your ticket to steering clear of this software YouTube has.
I’ve had a couple people chatting with me about cons and stuff mentioning how they wish there was an easier way to spot TRTers in the wild without having to ask. So, in between editing I was talking to Pasta Mama, who is an artist, and she’s going to try to draw up a few little TRT-related ideas (a TRT title design, some penguin stuff, funny quotes, etc) that might look good on stuff like buttons or stickers. If they look good, they’ll be thrown up on something like Redbubble so anyone who wants one can grab one, and it’ll become a bit easier to recognize each other when you’re out at a con, or even just doing shit day to day. Meanwhile, if they look good and people like them, it’ll drop a few dollars in the bucket that’ll go towards fixing the massive hole in my ceiling. 😅
trying to teach yourself new skills when you have memory issues is quite fun but also frustrating and mortifying but also funny because I literally have an art degree, but here I am in the fucking trenches trying to draw quinlan being pretty in a way I can deal with
anyway I decided to chip away at this old wip of quin being pretty and accidentally gave him sunset dip dyed tabards so that’s nice (I’m thinking he’s wearing them because they remind him of cody because I continue to cling to this tiny tugboat of a ship ☺️)
one thing no one warned me about when starting T is that when your stomach grows hair you will probably have to start cleaning your belly button more often. idk about anyone else but i rarely thought about cleaning it out but now i clean it at the very least every time i shower but often more frequently than that
GOD. WAIT. I just realized in Anton's boss win sprite he's not even spinning his hammer like you'd spin something with that kind of weight and width (handle stays mostly in your palm while you move your wrist and arm). He's spinning it over his fucking fingers like how people mess around with pens. HUH????
me, seeing a controlling freak of a man but he’s a fictional character: there’s something insanely wrong with you but i’m going to study you. i am going to psychoanalyze you and shake you around like a soda can just to watch you explode. i love you because to an extent, i do understand your rage and your grief and your ghosts. i will also be the first one in line to tell you that your suffering does not make you worthy and your manipulation does not make you some genius mastermind, it just makes you sad and hollow. but i will take the time to understand you because don’t we all want to be seen
me, seeing a controlling freak of a man but he’s a real person: don’t fucking look at me don’t fucking talk to me don’t even fucking breathe in my direction
