Its those kids from Hexbear.net they keep turning the dial that makes the internet worse
Mom said it's my turn with the "Make the Internet worse" dial
Ironic how this is a YouTube link and Lemmy's Web Frontend just embeds it and makes my browser call out to Google/YouTube and load extra JS. I liked Lemmy more when they didn't do this bullshit.
One thing about the modern web I really hate is how websites have to embed and show a preview of every other hyperlink. I don't want any of that. I never wanted any of that. "Features" like embedding stuff don't add much and only make everything more slow because things become more chatty on the Network. Also: Stop helping big tech lay eggs in people's browser cache.
If there is a hyperlink and I want to know what's behind it, I click on it. It's as easy as that.
no such embed here. although we do get tankietube and some aljazeera sites. take it up with your instance admins?
greed.. aka capitalism
