The best ones play multiple videos all at once so you cant understand anything.

IMO the worst are videos playing without sound that are difficult/impossible to stop. They just sit there burning up data.

THIS is what a pointless waste of finite resources looks like.

Bandwidth really isn't finite - the hardware for that has a limited lifespan regardless of whether it's used or how much it's used. It's just a way for companies to try to milk you for more money. You already pay far more for your internet than you should.

Well finite for consumers. Especially mobile users.

i'm on projectFi and each MB costs me $0.01, so a 100MB video just cost me $1. Auto-playing videos, or auto-buffering video costs a lot.

News sites only need to deliver text and maybe images. Just block everything except for HTML and you'll save yourself a ton of headache.

That sounds great. Any chance you have time to hint at us lesser computer mortals at how to do that? I'm on a mac...

You use the word news as if these sites are news sites. They are jewish propaganda sites. The autoplay videos are there to force you to listen to them. The entire talmudvision, movie, news, music and entertainment industry is fraudulent. They are not profit driven but political tools to subvert the masses.

...and they ALL follow the same shitty format. Absolute worst site layout! It is as if they don't actually want you to view their site.

Also, any site that has a stupid fucking "subscribe to our whatever" overlay or anything else that pops up as I am trying to read gets killed faster that I can remember what it was I came there for in the first place.

Liveleak started doing that shit where the video follows you as you go to the comments, guess what site I don't view anymore? If I want to view it I use Tubeoffline. With DailyMail (which still publishes WW2 propaganda, holocaust survivor stories, etc) I will use Torch browser to download any videos.

Fucking Idiots is right!

Cant even go to most news sites. They'll eat right though my data.

They are no longer gatekeepers, they have lost the narrative, they have to push their videos' sights and sounds upon you.

Theyre not stupid. It's marketing and very much deliberate
