>>71693>The same "dumbasses" are likely DRM and subscription model advocatesThat's a lot of unwarranted cynicism. I don't think there's that many people "advocating" for either.

>>71693Not sure what complaining about embedding has to do with DRM and subscription models. If you hover over any of the videos on that site you can see the source and it's giving them views.

Now with this dislike button gone as well, who knows what the state of YouTube just will be in the next year or two. It's already an unusable piece of trash.

YouTube has been around for almost 17 years now, and has an endless amount of content.

This thing is cool. It sort of simulates old TV channels via youtube embeds. The content will be limited (obviously it's not 24/7 of content, or possibly even a full hour I'm sure), but it's still a really neat idea. There's different decades.

Plot as I gathered
So, the Corruption of Space is corrupting space into classical unthingability and the goal is now to deal with it by finding the Gate, a gap at the end of physics whose referentiality is also unthingable and/or will kill you, making it a closely guarded secret. The one's doing the searching are terminals, employing pointers somehow? That's what you are, as your mouse cursor. No clue what happened to humanity, apparently that's better explained in the book he wrote, it takes place in the same universe. It's not on libgen, though.The puzzles involve a lot of scrolling through infinitely expanding pages (there was one where if more than three minutes passed you'd be sent to a dead end page), flashlight darkness stuff, or looking at
several fucking F12 messages, one of which implemented the fucking scrolling too! A hundred lines of <br>, ah cannot believe that shit. Another one's solution was downloading four images, reordering them somehow, translating their black/red chunks into binary, and then getting the next page's URL from that. Wack.
