    This thing is hilarious, just think that your “broswer” app could modify the content of what you’re watching is crazy… It’ll surely be AI-powered

    I feel sorry for website maintainers at this point, they gotta deal with a broken ad supported business model, AI web scrapers, dwindling viewership, and now google modifying their pages without their knowledge. Like people who just want to share interesting stuff with the world and make a living off of their work have to deal with this crap.

      As a web developer I’m interested if there’s something I can do to block it. I’ve already done an interest-cohort() hack and another that stops Instagram in-app JavaScript from being injected.

      I’d love to get a collection of these “hacks” packaged in a Ruby gem.
