I would honestly expect them to base it on percentage of video watched, and count that per watch session. But, that would mean they couldn’t stiff creators when the majority of people watch the video sped up, which I bet is more common than slowed down by quite a margin.

So yeah, I guess it does make sense 😅

Iiiinteresting. How does it “freak out” - in favour of the video, or against it? I’d guess in favour?

There are vanishingly few generalisations a person can make on the internet and have any chance of being correct. This one, though, you’re bang-on right every time.

“Better living through chemistry!”, I call it.

First of all, I agree entirely. Now: Pounds, so you’re in the UK. Have a read about your options with the ombudsman service: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/get-more-help/how-to-use-an-ombudsman-in-england/

the Financial Ombudsman Service sorts out problems with banks, insurance, PPI, loans, mortgages, pensions and deals with other money and financial complaints - read our advice about getting your money back if you paid by card or PayPal

If nothing else you’re putting them on blast with the government, and that contributes to the paper trail for eventual action. In the meantime it might get your complaint resolved. Did you try tweeting at their official account too? Sometimes that can help get things moving.

Now taking bets on when the telcos will replace Gs with Qs.

New 3Q service from T-Mobile - you can both hear me and not hear me now!

weak passwords (user error) not really hacking

If you need to cross a chasm, and someone rolls a boulder in that lets you get across, are you going to go into all the ways that it wasn’t really a bridge?

Hacking is about making stuff do things outside is intended purpose. There are no prescriptions on how; hacking doesn’t gatekeep. If it works, it’s a hack. Convincing sometime to open the door for you is social engineering, for example.

So, if someone uses/reuses weak passwords, it’s fair to say that’s an easy hack, but it’s still a hack.

You think that ruined your day? I had LASIK - I paid to read that more clearly.
