      I watched a video today on my work computer for the first time, where I don’t have the ability to block the ads. Dear god. The litany of overhyped, lie-based AI dreck was traumatizing.

        I watched a single motorcycle video on computer logged out of YouTube. All the related videos were rage bait right wing content. None related to motorcycles.
