Fwiw they’re just collecting a paycheck. Sure it’s scummy for them to not reject the businesses offering them the money but tbh I really don’t blame them - I’d probably take the cash too.

Depending on the channel size sponsored ad reads can deliver upwards of multiple thousand per video for the creator. If you see multiple channels with the same ads, it’s bc the company advertising got a big budget approved, that’s it.

Imo just skip the ad reads (or get sponsorblock) and forget they exist. Usually the creator doesn’t even give a fuck who’s paying them or why. They are victims of the system too, not maliciously peddling garbage. I do wish they didn’t have to peddle anything, but here we are.

Fastmail supports aliases as well. I’m not sure how they are from a privacy side overall tho

Fastmail also offers this.

Curious to know how many others do as well.

I think battle.net did this for a long time. I am probably misremembering but gosh whatever service I experienced it with was annoying

Today I learned! Thanks for the info :)

Yep, it’s got both visits recorded. Idk why my ip on mobile networks was geolocated so far away.

Visited on my mobile this morning while commuting and no VPN and it geo located me 1000 miles away.

Visited again connected to a WiFi network and it got me right. Fun stuff
