When is "less trash" ever a bad thing? This attitude of "the people over there are 100 times worse so I shouldn't be the one doing something" is complete bullshit and needs to change.
When you're bullying people to create "less trash" and the people you're bulling are just regular people trying to live their lives, people who aren't dumping their trash in the rivers or oceans.
"I shouldn't be the one doing something" to commit fewer murders, because I didn't murder anyone. "I shouldn't be the one doing something" to dump less plastic in the rivers and oceans because I don't dump plastic in the rivers and oceans.
Oracle customers hate Oracle though. I hear more complaints about dealing with Oracle's business organization than complaints about Oracle's technology.
Interesting how the summary doesn't mention (though the article does) that both Logan & PewDiePie have been mired in controvesy for a few years. Hardly surprising that Youtube wasn't interested in showcasing them.
"Mired in controversy", as used here, means a bunch of officious jerks complained. When a special set of jerks complains about you, you become "controversial", regardless of what the overwhelming majority of people think.
Google does their bidding to avoid being "controversial".
Did Google point a gun at you? Or are you saying a you volunteering some anonymised data is the equivalent of actual harassment requiring police intervention here. Get some perspective.
Since when did activists ever have to "get some perspective"? Does Anitfa have to "get some perspective"? How about SJWs? Should they "get some perspective"?
You want people to start acting civilized, then end the double standards. People with "perspective" get treated like shit while censors and violent assholes get rewarded. That's the new "perspective" that we're all seeing.
No, it's an effective political tool which works all to well on left leaning voters.
It actually works across the political spectrum. People should grow the fuck up and stop letting themselves be manipulated by anyone who tells them a story. Being fooled into mindless states of emo anxiety every day is a waste of humanity.
I'm not talking anything about how much money Netflix makes. I'm talking about how much the Verizon surcharge to Netflix affects your monthly fee. Sure Netflix could just eat the surcharge but as a company they have to make money or they won't survive.
Poor little Netflix is just barely hanging on in this story.
...what you pay for service will go up to maintain the profit.
Versus paying the same dollars to my ISP.
The world-endingly important thing is a made-up story about how someday I might have to pay Netflix an extra $1 instead of paying that $1 to my ISP. Then (the story goes) Netflix will pay my ISP that $1. It's breathtakingly, Earth-shatteringly important.
Don't call it harassment, call it "advertising". Don't call it stalking, call it "targeted attention placement". Don’t call it hostility, call it "active engagement".
If the people at Google don't treat regular Americans with respect, then why should regular Americans treat Google's robots any better?
That's pretty rich coming from an incel like you who hangs on every lie Trump says.
We need some sort of Godwin's law for mentioning Trump.
Trump says ridiculous bullshit all the time. Who would have imagined such imperfect veracity from a politician? Politicians are known for being faultless truth-tellers, aren't they?
Even the other people who responded to my comment are still saying (or implying) the most exaggerated bullshit arguments are all secretly true.
That's the argument style of fearmongering:
1. Make up bullshit stories 2. Bullshit stories don’t happen. 3. When someone points out bullshit stories were bullshit: 3a. claim "no one ever said" the stuff in the bullshit stories 3b. while simultaneously also saying "yes, it all happened" and 3c. "it will all happen, just wait".
Didn’t the Internet come to an end? I was told it was an Internet armageddon, and I wouldn’t be able to post this comment without paying an extra surcharge to Verizon or some other bogeyman. But here I am, paying no such surcharge.
Why do you people still believe whatever ridiculous fear mongering bullshit comes your way?
Why did Microsoft do such a bad job? Why does Comcast do a bad job? Or the old AT&T? Or the government? Or the airlines? Or taxicabs? Monopolies and oligopolies do a bad job in general. Why?
Because lots of people doing lots of things do a bad or mediocre job. When there's a monopoly, you're stuck with it. You have to deal with it for a long time. When there's not a monopoly, people choose someone doing a good job and the guys doing a bad job fade away and are forgotten. Or they shape up and start doing a good job.
Microsoft and Intel held back progress in software and hardware for many years after the introduction 68000-cpu (Amiga, Atari ST, Mac) computers. (Along with some help from bad management at Apple, Atari, and Commodore. I don't know about Motorola management quality.) It was a lost decade in personal computing.
After the mid-late 90s, Microsoft and Intel finally started to produce software and hardware that was less of a garbled mess.
The Republicans need the Democrats to pass their federal budget. Telling Trump no budget till we get network neutrality...
I hope they try that. Keep it shut down for 2 years for some issue 95% of people don't care about.
...and healthcare for all
I really hope they try that. They won't though. They would have to appropriate funds to pay for it. There's nowhere near enough money anywhere for that. And actually trying to go ahead with it would mean ignorant people like you would find out they've been telling you fantasy stories the last 20 years.

I don't really care whose plastic this is, it is affecting my life
No, it is not affecting your life. News about far away places is not about you. You aren't the center of the universe.
I'm in favour of doing something about this problem
Bullying people in the US and Europe doesn't affect "this problem" in any way.
Something useful to know when assholes want to ban things in the US and Europe: it's not your plastic.
Say no to zealots and totalitarians.
We'll build bid, fat, beautiful new rings. They'll go up so fast your head will spin!
And Enceladus will pay for it!

If Californians can't be taxed for it, how will 10% of the population of Honduras get subsidized phone service?
Errr yes. Hyperbole an extremism is the reason those idiots don't get taken seriously.
They are getting what they want. (Hint: it's not to be "taken seriously" by you.)
...this seemed like a big tone-deaf misstep on the part of YouTube that is trying to pretend like some people do not exist.
Google doesn't respect users or content creators.

They're coming for your photos and conversations. Every week a new topic is censored by Facebook/the Chinese government.

Python embraces you.
Tell how much of your Netflix monthly fee goes to pay off the likes of Comcast and Verizon? What about Amazon Video?
Why do I care about Netflix's gross profit margins? Why should anyone care?
Don't call it harassment, call it "advertising". Don't call it stalking, call it "targeted attention placement". Don’t call it hostility, call it "active engagement".

That’s a lot of people complaining that the sanctity and purity of their net neutrality ideal may not be being perfectly respected.
No armageddon, just the usual Internet bitching about anything and everything.
Do you think it’s a world-ending crisis every time someone on the Internet has a complaint about something?
