Increasing the VOLUME on your YouTube adverts does not attract my attention in a good way.
It pisses me off about YOU and the product or service that you are trying to promote.
Re-post just because first.
I rarely visit YouTube now and when I did I always muted the adverts.
YouTube is an invaluable tool for research (with circumspection), witness numerous daily links from here at DS Roundup, or simply passing the time of day with playful Orangutans. Individual YT channels often spot and investigate trends long before ‘professional’ research departments and delve deeper into subjects that those same professionals consider to be not worthwhile. The Visual input of ‘amateur’ uploaders can be very poor, it can also be extremely good, but for research Audio is generally more important than blurry images of random dead people or sinking ships. Better images can be found while the main Audio plays in the background. I click the advert “stop” button after the initial 4 seconds of compulsory viewing if the subject being advertised has no interest or at the first hint of Wokery or being PC preached at. I allow others to play in full if the subject Might be useful or if the Ad itself is interesting or amusing as this how YT achieves its aim of making money from advertisers, thus far failing to do so. Fellow DS readers will kindly advise the use of the numerous alternative video research sites (and I wish those sites well) but none of… Read more »
Are you up very late or very early?
I have the same feeling for YT that I have for a slightly ratty local library – nothing like a temple, but with some interesting stuff on the shelves.
Can’t share a pic, but can share an anecdote: being taught how to swim Oz style. Teacher A stood on a jetty and shoved you into jellyfish-infested waters. Teacher B (treading water below) yelled at you, as you spluttered and gulped, “Use your arms!”
‘Very late’ in that I haven’t really gone to bed although ‘very early’ as I did wake up after a couple of hours seated sleep a while ago.
Being sentient long-term in hospital, now Care Home, concepts around very late or very early have no meaning except for food and medication.
The only reason they still dish out Breakfast at +07.30- am is that was traditionally the start of the agricultural working day. There was no reason to carry it on into the industrial revolution, still less into the Digital Age.
Perhaps this will change as the weather improves and daytime sunshine beckons.
As a boy I was an avid twice weekly 3 books a time user of our fantastic modern Borough Library dying to get old enough to use the Adult sections.
Fortunately by the time it turned itself into a PC House of Correction I was able to buy my own books, paperback, from any of four local independent bookshops, now sadly defunct as people like me turned to the internet.
Waterstones came after those closures, it did cause them.
I read the William books: the first books I can remember (as a child) that celebrated naughtiness – or at least made it funny. I don’t think anyone thought that they would “improve” character, but they did give a sense of the liveliness of the English language.
When I first visited London, going to Foyle’s was wonderful. They had the most amazingly elaborate method of paying for books, and (more importantly) they wouldn’t bother you if you sat on a window-sill for hours reading a book you couldn’t afford.
I’m too tired to respond properly to your inspired and accurate description of shopping in Foyls in the 70s but promise* to get back to it later today.
*I ‘promise’ is a word I Very Rarely Use these days; please consider it a compliment for the flood of memories your few succinct sentences created in my head.
Rest well!
It was a very Soviet system. The woman Foyle heiress did not trust a single member of her staff….a miserable old miser and battleaxe😉
Was that why you had to have those slips of paper?
Indeed, you might connect with three staff members in a Soviet workers cafe just to get a cup of tea.
Scouts back then were real hard…!!
I share much of your sentiment, karenovirus, with regard to YT. Once upon a time I used to watch all the opposers of the covid narrative…that went much deeper, but they’ve all been kicked off of YT, so I follow them elsewhere now. But I have discovered a raft of excellent, well made channels, that cover subjects I love and enjoy, completely free from covid and geo-political issues, and as I learn to gradually detach myself from all the negative external energy, these channels are providing enjoyment and entertainment, and learning. They are in fact my “tv”. The adverts yes, are bloody loud and annoying, the wokery is through the roof but sometimes they are an inadvertent source of entertainment too! Mostly though, I just zap them off when I get the chance.
Do you mean ‘zap them off’ in our direction for us to use or something else?
ED. Zap= turn them off? I just make a cup of tea and let them run. YT and the channel master got to earn a living, unless they try to preach at me or SHOUT!
I appreciate YTs numbers and reach. They tell me X-thousand people watched the same video and y-hunded liked it (usually 5-10%). Dunno why they stopped saying how many disliked it. No other site can match that even for rubbish.
Also the range of topics from nuclear fission theory to Mongol Warlords, savage animals, religions, Scottish clans, terrible Russian drivers, current events and everything in between.
I sometimes spend all afternoon just following their suggested links to completely different subjects.
Oddly a shortage of cuddly kittens, probably a delayed reaction to Myspace!?!
Use Brave Browser. I haven’t seen ads for over two years. The internet’s a different place and I have saved hours – not just from not having to watch the blooming things, but not having to wrestle my concentration back from the point it was distracted.
See my remarks about alternative Video sites in my first response above.
Same, and recently switched to Brave Browser after duckduckgo announced they were going to start censoring ‘Russian propaganda’.

I can’t watch YT with ads on, I don’t get them on my PC at all, but on the kodi box thing android installed the app for YT, ditch the app, install Adblock Ultimate on a browser and watch it through that, peace will be restored.
yt is very hand at time.
Professor Mark Fleton war historian has recently published this about Putin’s background.
https://youtu.be/e2_EFJLWA6o
Some information not given by MSM
I too use a browser ad-blocker.I do got get bothered by adverts.
I’ve seen a lot of Feltons vids, good quality, but you only get half the story, he never goes into the money power behind the wars.
It was sad to see that some of the judges and handlers at the Crufts dog show today were wearing Ukrainian colours in support of the Ukrainian government’s war effort.
And…first prize as the number one government minister for successfully defecating over the home population by pursuing a certain foreign policy goes to … President Zelensky of the Ukraine.
Who might the second prize go to? The nutty Franz Lipp of the Bavarian Soviet Republic who reckoned he had declared war on Switzerland in 1918 comes to mind. But Lipp’s action didn’t kill anyone or cause any other kind of harm either. Zelensky’s disgraceful NATO policy in addition to his support of the neo-Nazi Azov Regiment has led to many thousands of Ukrainians being killed and over a million being displaced. I find it hard to believe that the guy’s name isn’t mud among most of the Ukraine’s population from one end of the country to the other, even among most Ukrainian nationalists.
While agreeing with your overall disapproval of the Stand With Ukraine bandwagon I don’t see anything wrong with their Own President expressing that support.
Zelensky doesn’t give two sh*ts about his country or the people, he has at least 1.2 Billion reasons stashed in a German bank in Puerto Rico to be acting his part.
It’s the latest form of virtue signalling. I’m waiting to see my first muppet wearing a muzzle with the Ukrainian flag as it’s design. It’s gonna happen. Or it’s the sign that people get their info exclusively from the BBC and other MSM outlets, therefore having no clue about the much more complex situation over there than is generally covered on the telly.
However back with the dogs, a Siberian husky won the working dogs class. Take that you Ukrainian badged competitors.
Here are some gems from Robert Jenrick’s article:
On Ukraine: “In a war where the forces of good and evil couldn’t be clearer”
Who to blame for the war? “Schroder, Chirac and Blair…[and] Merkel”
No mention of the Ukraine coup of 2014 but we do have “Putin invaded Ukraine in 2014”
After the disingenuous one-sided analysis on the war: “Let this be the end of the childlike debate we’ve witnessed where all decisions are binary”
On Europe: “there is a cost to defending a free Europe “
On Covid: “As the Prime Minister and Chancellor did so well in the pandemic”
And he saved the best to last – on freedom: “our liberty is fragile and must be constantly defended.”
Very good Jenrick, but shouldn’t a former cabinet member be taking all this stuff seriously rather than writing a silly satirical piece?
“Putin invaded Ukraine in 2014″
It must have been so tough for the population of the Crimean province of Traditional Ukraine to change their culture and language entirely so as to show their acceptance of the Russian iron heel 🙂 One minute they were all wearing blue and yellow, because that’s what they’d always done, just as their parents and grandparents had done before them, and the next it was borshsch for every meal and “do svidaniya” to their old way of life. I mean, after all, the Ukrainian government had a perfect right to hand Sevastopol over to the United States navy rather than allow anyone who was Russian to have any connection with the peninsula, a territory which has constituted an ancestral holding of Ukraine since mediaeval and indeed classical times.
What is it about specifically Crimea that everyone wants a slice of it since before Classical times ?
The Carthaginians were there 200BC(?) as were the Greeks and Romans (Byzantines) followed by the Arabs and Turks.
Britains involvement there; Crimean War 1850s, Florence Nightingale, Charge Of The Light Brigage, was a side element of the greater struggle between those Turks and Christian, European Russians for control of the peninsula and the port if Sevastopol. British Empire gained Cyprus by way of swapsies.
Right, I’m off to sleep with Arlo Guthrie 25 mins ‘Alice’s Restaurant’ playing in the background. 🛌
historically it’s always been about trade routes, if you read any of the history of the money families I put up recently you’d see the bigger picture.
All wars are bankers wars.
Watch Taboo on netflix atm, excellent drama, one mans stuggle with the East India Company and the British empire, EIC are one branch of the banking families.
One of the things they may have wanted a slice of is the very good Crimean red wine.
Arlo Guthrie 25 mins ‘Alice’s Restaurant’
wow, not listened to that for decades.
One minute they were Tartas living in Crimea; next minute they were deported and living in Yurts in Kazakhstan their old homes occupied by DNA Russians as the Tsarist/Communist State sought Russify their empire.
Time and again, people try and correct “misinformation” with more misinformation. Will they ever learn that we can see one-sided narrative a mile off?
They think people are stupid. That’s at the core of it.
Judging by the comments, you’re right. It appears to be mostly disillusioned Tory voters generally ripping him apart.
It looks like the Telegraph are editing the comments though, so no counter-narrative on Ukraine is being allowed.
Absolutely agreed. “They” think the rest of us are 10 year olds who believe any old nonsense presented to us.
David Starkey had some very interesting things to say on that subject just the other day on YouTube.
Sorry, I can’t do links on this my Android but searching YouTube is very easy with minimal information.
David Starkey, is ‘ Fighting For Tour Country’ “Putin Mad or Bad”.
I was posting much the same over a week ago “Putin is just an old-fashioned nationalist doing what he thinks is best for Russia, and himself, since the collapse of the USSR”.
YouTube is 20 mins after the useless 2.5 min introduction by a nobody.
Unfortunately, the bulk of the population are stupid.
If you’re right, we have a huge problem, because democracy and universal suffrage then means we will be ruled by stupid and hell awaits.
So, it would seem the only chance we have is to hope most people aren’t stupid, treat them with a bit of respect, and see where we get to.
Or limit the vote to people who have earned it in some way.
My experience is people are more lazy than they are stupid.
Former US President Barack Obama stricken down with Covid.
“. . .otherwise I feel fine”.
Just like 99.9% of Covid ‘victims’ yet this what we almost sent the developed world back into the Middle Ages for.
It was the miracle vax.
He has a “scratchy throat.”
“Had” . . .”I feel fine”
Correction kv – not ‘almost,’ you can delete that word.
Obviously the toss pot will be fully perforated (yeah right) so I suppose he just lends further support to our cause.
Diesel rationing…
Fear mongering to try to push people to the terrible Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV).
There’s plenty of diesel.
Meanwhile, California asks residents to avoid charging electric cars amid power grid strain.
If I were a delusional conspiracy theorist I might conclude that “They” knew this was going to happen which is why They suddenly stopped Nudging us into buying Diesel cars 3 or 4 years ago.
I still remember the time, mid 1970s, when venturing forth from London, diesel fuel pumps were hard to find west of Shrewsbury and not all in Wales.
(With no Google Maps ‘Locations’ for assistance).
Cue queues at petrol stations and panic buying – again.
Two petrol stations I passed yesterday had no diesel, so I expect the panic to start imminently, fired up by gleeful media.
If people are worried about getting hold of fuel, they won’t be so concerned about the price.
My wife points out that this time round, rationing will be simple – simply requiring that you register an app on your smartphone. The “vaccine passport” banner at the top will simply be a bit of redundant code.
In the present crisis over Ukraine, Russia clearly feels existentially threatened by US/NATO military moves in Ukraine and in eastern Europe where they have positioned missiles that can be very quickly converted to nuclear and are within a few minutes’ range of Russia. (And of course there are US/NATO nuclear missiles throughout western and southern Europe.)
Vladimir Putin has been talking about this for many years and is factually correct. He has reiterated that this is unacceptable to Russia and must stop. He has pushed for negotiations to end this situation.
The United States, despite its own Monroe Doctrine that prohibits another great power from putting weapons or military forces close to its borders, has blocked its ears and kept upping the ante, provoking Russian fears. This fact is not in dispute but is shrugged off by US/NATO as of little consequence.
Such an attitude is pure provocation as anyone with a smidgeon of historical awareness knows.

Ukraine. The Everlasting Present.
Must watch video. RT playing this on the day it was deleted from UK tv. Halfway thru the mesmerising documentary!
Watch before it gets zapped!!
https://www.bitchute.com/video/3HI1Nz8sBV8J/
Russia IS existentialy threatened by NATO but it’s not clear if this has come about through accident or design.
The attached map closely resembles the position Russia would be in if Putin ‘wins’ the current crisis with Donbas/Donesk detached from Ukraine as an independent Statelet or incorporated into Russia itself.
But it also mirrors the position after Lenin and Trotsky surrended Russia to Germany with the Treaty of Brest-Litovk in 1917.
They lost 1/3 of the total population and industry plus 1/2 of the agricultural land west of the Urals because they were only interested in furthering The Revolution in Moscow and St. Petersburg; their strategy was ultimately successful and Mr. Putin would seem to regard it as successful also.
1917 or 2022 ?
⬇️ . . . . . . . . ⬇️
What is so often described as Russian “fatalism” might be better understood as realism.
Russian leaderships have a history of considering their weaknesses as well as their strengths: retreating when necessary, rebuilding, observing as events unfold, and acting when the likelihood of success has improved.
ITEM: “Did Covid kill Shane Warne by prompting a heart attack?” – Professor Jeremy Nicholson from Murdoch University said there was a “significant possibility” Shane Warne’s underlying heart conditions could have been exacerbated by his COVID-19 infections, the Mail reports. Oops, got excited for a minute there because I mis-read the headline as “Did Covid vaccine kill Shane Warne by prompting a heart attack?”. At last, I thought, some proper enquiring journalism from the Covid-deranged media. Turns out, of course, that the article nowhere mentions Warne’s triple vaxxing (the booster only shortly before his demise in order to allow him to fly to Thailand) and the mounting statistical and anecdotal evidence from adverse reactions databases, life insurers, embalmers, pathologists, media coverage of dead young sportsmen and 52-year-old Australian senators, etc. that point to the potentially fatal heart consequences of the Covid vaxxes. Instead, we get lots of speculative “new theories”, “suggests”, “possibilities” and “not provens” from a Professor who believes that the virus itself may cause “a major shift in cardiovascular risk markers” such as artery hardening, with Warne’s “former” (not present) doctor (who, therefore, doesn’t know Warne’s recent clinical profile or vaxx history), opting for the lifestyle risk factors (which Warne… Read more »
I made the same mistake – then read the shameful article. How eagerly they jump on the bandwagon.
Worth a read:
Another predicted spike in heart attacks (but it’s still nothing to do with the vaccines) – OffGuardian (off-guardian.org)
I’ve touched that statute IRL which is reproduced in style and size in every ‘Russian’ city that the nazis came anywhere near thus requiring liberation by the united forces of “Holy Russia”.
And the third verse of the original poem is apposite as well – it suggests that “he” is getting smaller, day by day ( https://nationalpoetryday.co.uk/poem/antigonish/ ). So it is with these wild ideas in the trade, if you look at the UKHSA bumf ATL today.

Excellent article. Thank you for posting it.
I can’t believe that Obama testing positive is actually considered newsworthy. At least keep it at bay in that rag, no need for such pointless bollocks to be shared here. Maybe a ‘gap-filler’ eh? Everyone would test bloody positive, former president or not, if everybody bothered to test! Next..
True – but the tears flowed freely from one’s eyes. Not!
They did from mine!😂
Jenrick wants his job back in cabinet! Imagine being that bad you got sacked from THIS government.
Yes and imagine how bad one of them has to be to NOT get a peerage! (Oh yes, we do have an example, Bercow!)
Isn’t the exertion of power why they’re doing it?
Yep, to quote the master: “The object of power is power. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power.”
An interesting point about the messaging in all this is made here:
LISTEN: “Ukraine is a continuation of Covid by other means” – OffGuardian (off-guardian.org)
Labours problem is that Keir Starmer is Trilateral Commission through and through, a globalists gobalist, an organisation that believes, we the people have too much freedom too much democracy.
An organisation that believes the working class, the masses should be
removed from any democratic process leaving the issues of democracy and
government to the elite, the establishment.
“I pledge allegiance to the Trilateral Commission, and to the domination
for which it stands, one planet, indivisible, with tyranny and poverty
and top-down order for all…”

An organisation that believes the working class, the masses should be
removed from any democratic process leaving the issues of democracy and
government to the elite, the establishment.
Yes. Labour politicians used to be anxious about the rank and file – filing improper motions, grilling them at party meetings and conferences, and generally not showing them the respect they felt they deserved.
They’ve been taking care of that: boring them, frustrating them, and alienating them. Then, when significant sections the working classes turn away from them, they berate them (usually in private) for their stupidity. How can they not know that we are their benefactors?
ice.age.farmer – Brace for food rationing.

Arch maskateer and collaborator Tony Blackburn, Radio 2 (sounds of the 60’s) DJ came up with a “classic” last Saturday: “I’ve got Covid which I found out by testing myself on a regular basis and which shows how important it is to keep testing”
