bye cohost! thank you cohost.


  • I would like to purchase some gifts on etsy dot com. it being the season for this sort of thing.
  • blessed guardian of the pure of heart, ublock, is not blocking the ads. which constitute the first 20% of every page of search results. I am not in the mood for this
  • beloved helper of gentle spirits, duckduckgo, indicates that etsy and the ublock reddit community are in a month-to-month arms race
  • I try last month's fix. it has been thirty days. it does not work.
  • I try to reverse-engineer this a little bit. I am rebuffed. humiliated. of course. how dare I pit my feeble infantile web experience against the might of the Crafts Exploitation Empire.
  • it occurs to me that even I, a lowly fool, at least have the power to log in to the ublock reddit and ask for help.
  • (to reiterate: my problem here is that a website whose purpose is to sell me things, to which I have navigated with the intention of buying things, has rendered itself hateful and useless to me because it is prompting me to buy things, the activity I was already there to do!)
  • unfortunately I don't know my reddit password.
  • reddit's account recovery process is a huge pain in the ass.
  • I am feeling about as uncharitable toward the humiliating songs-and-dances asked of me by our online overlords as I have ever felt in my life.
  • I am left disempowered, stranded, and fantasizing about the taste of silicon:
  • what if I just bite off the parts of the screen with the ads on it
