YouTube disallowing adblockers, Reddit charging for API usage, Twitter blocking non-registered users. These events happen almost at the same time. Is this one of the effects of the tech bubble burst?

YouTube is currently running what it describes as a "small experiment globally," warning users to toggle off their ad blockers and avoid being limited to only three video views.
I had premium get bundled in with my music subscription before they killed it off. They offer nothing Firefox and ublock origin do better. Now I'm going to just need another add-on.
Google Play Music got axed for a shitty YouTube run app with less features.
It had support for uploading and storing local music so if you didn't pay monthly you still had access to music you "bought" on other platforms. It was about the only thing that they put out that was worth paying monthly for.
Maybe it's that first PUBG victory, or becoming a Grand Champion on Rocket League. Maybe it's the time you got passed that awfully difficult level, or the time you actually got around to finishing your backlog....
I love figuring out an overly complicated game like Factorio or Oxygen Not Included and KSP. You fail upwards (if your lucky) until you figure the game out. It's a good learning curve with that slim line of frustration and losing is fun.
I also killed 53,594+ zombie in Dead Rising beacuse I had nothing better to do as a kid.
Huge. I aways found it crazy that big companies would find reddit useful enough to risk officially run a sub. Don't know if we will see the same here unless they were to self host, and I don't think many would.
Changed "ov" to "of" in the comment on line 132 for the in game music player.

I was always cautiously curious about the game but am not thrilled about supporting Rowling. Last time I checked it seemed like it was proving to be extremely difficult to crack.

Factorio. I had so much fun figuring out all the stuff it throws at you and making a mess of spaghetti beacuse you couldn't predict what was next to sort things out.
Would have loved to play some of the early 360 games online including Halo back in there prime. I just didn't have good enough internet for it to be playable back then.
Oblivion. Probably sunk 1000 hours sucking every last drop of dopamine out of that game.
Bluetooth doesn't work on my Razr mouse anymore and my brother has also had bad charging issues with his Razr. Thinking of switching to a different brand, so what do you all use?
Do new 502s have the same button issues the 903s have? My old 502 is going strong but is pretty ugly at this point but I'm afraid a replacement would be lower quality.
