If you grew up with commercial TV, not only is the frequency of ads on youtube bad, but the placement--in the middle of a sentence or a scene--is mentally and emotionally destructive.

Seems like youtube forces sign-in using Unwatched on iOS? An alternative is Vinegar which replaces the video player in Safari, and skips the ads, mostly and usually (until youtube updates some things then vinegar needs to catch up).

So slightly better ping than my ISP, then.

Kind of a nepo baby. Grandfather and father were politicians. Great grandad and uncles were involved in progressive politics, usually officially.

Since Naomi Klein is his spouse, I bet the family get togethers have some interesting conversations.
