An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

My credit card has expired and thus my youtube premium with it.

I received some alerts from YT before it happened and now the subscription has been terminated and the first video I watched without the premium had 3 ads in 5 minutes.

3 ads. In 5 minutes.

I'm disgusted. My hatred towards the greedy corporations has been gradually exceeding the boiling point for the past couple of years and now I experienced how YouTube tries to force it's users to pay the tribute.

I'm using YT a lot so I'd take no issue paying if it just improved the experience, but not if it's the only way to use the "free" app. I'm not gonna get my money extorted by a fucking corporation.

Fuck them, intalling ReVanced now.

If youtube premium added a feature that filters out AI created slop, it may be worth paying for. I don't know what happened but the amount of it on youtube now is unbelievable.

If YT had a simple ad-free tier that was £10 a month for a family, I would gladly pay for it. But as it stands, they want £20+ just so my wife and I can watch videos on Apple TV without having to tolerate a ridiculous amount of adverts.

So fuck 'em. She watches on her PC with a bunch of adblockers, and I download what I want to watch into my Plex folder. And they get sweet fuck all out of me instead.
