  What comes to the conclusion of the video: Maybe it's just I've got some weird Spectrum Genes, but when I was a kid and early adult, I was fucking paralysed by the idea that all of my jokes were basically stolen. 20 years later, I think I've developed A Style, but in the off chance I remember a directly quoted joke, I'm fucking deliberately saying it's a stolen joke, every time.

  Also, one of the things that I've learned this year, as exemplified by this video, is that just because you're in a marginalised community doesn't mean you're automatically a saint. Seen plenty of people just doing a dum-dum. Don't do dumb things. Makes you look dumb. Makes your community look dumb too. Know what I mean? I'm looking at you.

  They don't have to be legal. In Finland we are getting YouTube ads for a sports betting website. That's illegal. (Only the nationally regulated gambling monopoly can do that, and even they have massive restrictions on what kind of advertising they can run.)

  In the off chance that you can report the ad to YouTube (can't do that on TV or Android), YouTube has nuked the ad. Doesn't matter. The ad has been submitted via bazillion different advertiser accounts.

  The skip button was already too small, so of course they had to make it even smaller. YouTube's usability on Android is already terrible enough, which is pretty spectacular considering YouTube and Android are made by the same company. The seek bar barely works. The video end screen hides the de-maximise button. Nobody at Google has heard of the concept that controls at the edge of the screen are harder to aim accurately at. Just to scratch the surface!
