Ope, ya beat me to it lol that’s what I’m using also

I don’t think it will make enough of an impact for Alphabet to actually give a shit but I agree they’re getting out of control with the ads and I think a handful of people will start looking for alternatives. I recently switched from Google to Kagi and I set up Firefox to redirect all YouTube links to Piped lol I think a lot of people are already trying to find alternatives to Google products due to general enshittification but they’re so big I don’t really see it hurting them in any significant way. I would love to see something actually compete with YouTube though tbh. I personally try to use non Google alternatives whenever possible these days

I worked in sales at a honda dealership for about six months. On slow days we had to sit there making cold calls and blasting out texts and emails and I remember the first week after training they gave me like 1600 “dormant leads” which were essentially people who were rejected from finance companies the last time they were at the dealership or people who already flipped out about getting all the calls and texts and literally even people who unsubscribed from all communications or were on the national do not call list. Hundreds of previous employees were on the dormant lists too just so the new guys had people to practice on. Car dealerships are so greasy

Im pretty sure someone made the wayland.social mastodon instance for that exact purpose lol

Actually I’m not sure, I know you can follow them on mastodon

Awesome, will do!

Aw dang that makes sense. Like when you migrate servers on mastodon you can’t import posts. Well at any rate it will be cool to see how it unfolds.

At this point the Onion has more accurate news than X

Well hey now let’s not rule out the dummy thick front butt lmao

A crummy commercial?! (⁠╯⁠°⁠□⁠°⁠）⁠╯⁠︵⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻
