Yeah, especially when the first amendment gets violated on the streets of America, today, as the journalists get beaten by the government goons in direct violation of free speech and freedom of the press.
Sure, law enforcement having gone corrupt in a more obvious way is a huge problem. I live in a small town and I'm absolutely careful what I post on local Facebook groups because our neighbor across the street is a cop with radically conservative viewpoints, and I don't want to get targeted. So the idea that there's some kind of left wing "cancellation" system is just ever more BS as the state is currently favoring fascist speech, not antiracist/feminist speech.

Alternatively, you might consider that it could be real but a bipartisan thing, despite the term being used (and I assume coined) as though it's just the left wing.
Someone put together a long list of people Trump has tried to get cancelled, that seem to fit squarely within the usual connotations.
Seems YouTube has some checks to see if the ad is running. I'm currently unable to watch videos because I just get a black rectangle, and if I click it it shows an error.
I've found an easy way to bypass this issue though: Click Share > Embed, the preview window is playable. Start playing video from there, put it on full screen, profit!!!
I don't get this issue on either Firefox or Chrome on linux running with uBlock and Privacy Badger. Maybe you're part of the A/B test, and it has yet to be rolled out fully?
Couple weeks ago using ublock origin when browsing youtube would make youtube almost unusable. For me - if I'd have a direct link to video - the video would load and show, but the website itself wouldn't. Basically from user's point of view it was completely blank page with only video showing, no related videos, no comments, no like/dislike or anything. :)
So I needed to turn off ublock origin for youtube and everything came back to normal. I am using pihole though, but it was basically useless for youtube ads.
Though couple days ago, I've turned on ublock origin and youtube was working as usual and it was ad-less.
This whole copyright case is a whole load of bollocks. Hope that Internet Archive will fend that off, because otherwise it would be a very tragic loss for the internet.
I do too, but my modest annual donations will stop. My support for the organization is about it's mission to preserve material that has lasting importance, not to contribute to a legal make-work program.
Why the Internet Archive would risk the entire org in this way is mind boggling. I wonder who on the board or in charge is falling on the sword, which needs to happen.
let's just say that they have spread beyond the state where this happened. and given that the police is getting ever more brutal, there is no reason for them to stop spreading either.
This got shared on their discord, but I s2g that it really is the case, given that I use a similar tool called Roam, which recently had such a big spike of attention (in part due to Thomas Frank's video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxOffM_tVHI) and somewhat popularized what Obsidian is kind of aiming for here (so much that Roam had to close registrations due to massive traffic influx). Plenty of ppl just swear by Roam at this point, including its creator who has big vision for a thing. Here is his white paper on a thing: https://roamresearch.com/#/app/help/page/Vu1MmjinS.
I can attest to that as well, and given that Roam is unavailable, would suggest to try out this alternative that is pretty decent for what it does (even though Conaw (Roam's creator) does think it doesn't exactly align with what Roam really seeks to do, yk the thing)
Edit: to elaborate, I am not raving about either Roam or Obsidian, I am raving about they approaches they provide, and after nearly a month of using Roam it honestly feels like a game changer to me. Solved my art block a bit as well.
