  But they don’t let you to entirely block them either but only to hide them for 30 days at a time.

  If a robot / LLM can do you your job they probably should. Factory jobs should be the first to go - that’s not a place for humans.

  When ever they finally manage to prevent the use of adblockers I’ll just buy premium and won’t even be mad. The only reason I’m not already paying is that adblocking is so easy. Considering how much I use YouTube (and how long I have used it for) it’s easily worth every dollar.

  Background play too. I’m not sure if it’s just a Samsung thing but the playback stops when I close the browser but I can then pull down the notification centre and the playback controls for YouTube are there. If I then click play it wont stop even if I close the display.

  I kept usin Win7 way past after Microsoft stopped supporting. It was only when Steam stopped working that I switched to Linux. That’s just on my gaming PC though. My daily driver is running on outdated MacOS.

  You don’t offer your services and prices easily

  That’s a strange assumption. My pricing and services are listed on the flyer they likely first heard about me from, as well as on my website. You can also just call, email, or text and ask.

  If you have a job for me but don’t want to “waste your time” by reaching out, I’m not too concerned about losing you as a customer. Virtually all of my previous clients seem to appreciate not just a job well done, but the one-on-one human connection as well. In fact, some of them seem to just want someone to talk to - the work itself feels almost secondary.

  Not that I as a small bussines owner would expect anyone to use this to call me about my pricing or services but the call would end real quick when I realise I’m talking to an AI. I don’t even have anything against AI per se, I talk with LLMs a lot. It’s just that if you can be arsed to personally call me then I can’t be arsed to serve your needs either - I have more serious customers to cater to.
