Then don't pay, visit another website. Make sure you write a nice e-mail to their contact e-mail address telling them they're too expensive. With enough feedback, prices will be adjusted.
Fair enough, if the price is steep enough, then you don't visit it. I certainly don't intend on visiting it, paying for visiting it or even bear with their ads.
Confirming they run ads on many videos. Some are more bearable than others, and I'm really not sure if it's an uploader choice, a network choice or what. Some videos have only one small mobile-like rectangular small add located at bottom-middle of the video, it tends to appear about 15-30 seconds in. Other videos feature a series of such things, popping up every couple minutes or so, that's bloody annoying. Other videos yet have a full-screen ad autoplaying right after the regular video ends. And finally I've seen a couple occasions where the ad starts before the regular video starts, full-screen, unskippable, bloody fucking annoying. I usually just close that video and if this happens repeatedly for the same channel, I unsubscribe from that channel.
Yeah, nice sum-up. However, that 1 dollar a week thing... isn't it exactly what people here and elsewhere asked for? Like, for so long? If the content's worth the money, pay up and peruse an ad-free, high quality website. Or if you deem it not worthy, don't visit it anymore.
Not really, but change enough hardware in your PC and you'll end up with "Your license is not Genuine". A call to MS solved this issue in all cases where that happened to me, but still.
I do want to see adverts. But I want to see them the way I envision them to be displayed. I want to be able to subscribe to advert types instead of letting the ad middleman make a guesswork based on which websites I access. I want text-based ads, located in a specific area, which I can glance at and scan quickly. I want to switch ad types quickly in that ad box if I need to. So yes, I am curios about what's new in a certain area (e.g. games) and I don't mind well-placed, well-behaving, relevant ads. I don't mind them at all. Sadly this is not how advertising works today.
with 50% of the staff fired now, they have removed the bottom 50% of performers.
My sarcasm meter went off the scale here but in the off-chance that you might have been serious... That's quite the assumption there. Sorting employees by performance is never an easy task. It's actually really complicated. A brilliant team with a shitty manager will look worse than a mediocre team with a half-competent manager. A group whose Director is friends with the VP will gat a pass ticket versus the group whose Director has clashed with the VP in the past. And so on.
TripAdvisor exists on my Android phone, came preloaded and can't be uninstalled. So... as usually, Microsoft comes in last even from a bloatware perspective!
I'd wager that the vision is there, within Microsoft's employee pool, but got hopelessly stuck in mid-management politics and infighting over whose shit smells better.
Well, according to the very brad definition of music, me rhythmically slamming my dick to the desk could also be considered music. I know it's just a tiny level above rap but hey, nobody's perfect.
family and friends seeing the information might make things awkward. Imagine the increase in loan requests from friends or the disapproving looks from relatives who think you should be "doing more with your life".
Especially if you tell your family you earn a lot less than you actually do, and spend the rest on hookers and booze:)

I wasn't discussing the amount, just the method.
1 dollar a week is a bit on the high side, that's for sure.

What are you, 12? Yeah, I thought so.
So... if the answer to the question is "no"... did you expect it?
What if it's "yes"? Did you expect that as well?
If any answer proves your expectation, then why ask the question?

Total Commander.
It's like saying that the stinky bathroom in a cheap motel adds value to the room.
Windows Explorer adds value? How, exactly?

I hope you used protection.

On the same webpage you linked, if you scroll down at 60%, you see... Volvo trucks going that road.
BURMA SHAVE!
The one who's 18 months old? Wow.
No idea my 4 year old son can type in English, much less read Slashdot.
Son, I am proud of you.
Signed,
Your "poor" father.
This.
I would mod up but I already participated to the thread. Bummer.

Yeah it has nothing to do with salaries but it has everything to do with "nothing bad happened".

That's not getting involved, that's standing on on the side and commenting loudly.
We're talking about the same nation which only got involved after Pearl Harbour?
