Who hates getting a new phone and having apps like tiktok or Snapchat try to download when you're getting it set up?
Nice sploon pfp
every time it does I get on the play store and rate them 1 star

I get really upset when trying to go to a website while my phone keeps trying to send me to the app store to download the app version. I can close the app store, but if I'm not fast enough to get off of the browser, I keep getting sent back to the app store. Smh

To explain the eyeshadow thing. The FDA has a really old set of rules and guidelines on what can be used in cosmetics and what not and how it can be used. Some eyeshadows may contain pressed pigments. One of the main ones is I believe Red Lake 40 which is made from crushed bugs. And it's apparently one of the best red pigments out there. These pigments are forbidden to be used in cosmetics around the eye in America. But are totally tested legal and approved for use over here by the EU. So brands will still release these eyeshadow palettes with these fine prints as to not scare EU customers who are fine. But have compliant packaging for American shops. Instead of creating different packaging for different laws.
As a side note these pigments are safe. The worst they can do is stain the eye or cause irritation to very sensitive eyes. Expecially if the consumer is rubbing their eye quite harshly to get the stain off. Which will eventually come off after a couple of face washes. On me it usually comes off by the next day. I don't have to do much.
In fact I remember hearing Jen Luv talk about this fact when the company colourpop got a lawsuit because someone used one of their not eye safe products on their eyes without knowing. And the argument was that the warning wasn't visible enough. The lawsuit got dropped because the consumer didn't experice any significant damage to be anything of value.
Again these pigments don't really have that many serious side effects apart from mild irritation. Nobody has gone blind because of them as far as I know. It's that the FDA hasn't done any updated testing. Despite over here in the EU we proved they're totally fine to be used.
There are some things the FDA has banned that they need to go over again. I remember roughly when the law that affects Kinder Eggs was passed, because Wonderballs disappeared from stores one day when I was four or five years old. A law designed to “protect” me from a non-issue that made me sad. We raise an eyebrow at some of the things the EU bans, then turn a blind eye to the even stupider bans our country has done.
Edit: I looked again, and apparently Wonderballs disappeared for unrelated reasons. The law was passed in the 1990s, and the “candy in chocolate shell” version I grew up with popped up when in April of 2000. Not sure where it went, but my point about the ban on this still stands; we put warnings of choking hazards on toys, but putting them on candy that contains toys is too much work, apparently???
FD&C Red 40, and its lake, is synthetic - the stuff that comes from insects is carminic acid (cochineal)
Ohh that makes more sense, at a glance it looked like the ones circled were glitter (I didn't look very carefully) so I thought maybe it was something to do with the glitter being unwise to have near the eyes.
Yeahhh the FDA is super underfunded and understaffed & they use FAR more manpower to regulate pharmaceuticals than they do on food and cosmetics. Its not uncommon for proposed changes to regulations to be "under review" for over 20 years before they make a decision.
Damien, my man! I think it was the order of the tips (25%, 20%, 30%, 15%) that the user was griping about. If you usually give the first (lowest) option, you might give more than you thought. Also, there might've been something funky about the percentages, I've seen the companies put bogus numbers there, to give themselves a little raise.
I have an r/a-holedesign anecdote.
Yesterday, I was getting lunch in KFC and during order, I didn't pay extra for a bag with ears. I ordered food for takeout.
They put the food on a tray, and confused I showed that I ordered it for takeout on the receipt. The guy told me to screw off with it because I didn't pay an extra fee for a bag.
And no, there is no extra fee for takeout, except for the bag.
Take the tray home with you
How much to pay for the bag?

Nothing screams "greed" more than still getting ads even when you are paying for a subscription or bought the product.
You can have ads _or_ you can charge a fee. Not both.
@@renakunisaki elon musk disagrees
Super true I paid 7 dollars to remove ads in kick the buddy and it did nothing the game still requires you to watch ads to claim rewards and the reward claiming popups where the only reason to remove ads the game sucks now and used to be better
I do realise that claiming extra things usually requires you to watch ads but the fact with this game is every 10 seconds a popup saying claim appears with an often-unnoticeable symbol of an ad being required, you know that box with an arrow it sort of annoying paying money and all thats changed is I think im getting more ads
love how an amazon listing will have like 15% one star ratings but when you click on the one star to see them there's "none to show"
I'm not for defending Amazon, awful company, but... Couldn't those just have been ratings without a comment? I don't know too much about Amazon's rating system, but that is often what I tend to overlook
You can put a rating without writing a review, so likely someone did just that.
Stars with no reviews
I ran into this the other day and thought I was crazy or that the one 1 star review [it only had like 4 reviews] was deleted or something ... that's crazy
Our apartment complex has an Amazon locker now. Even packages from Fed EX, UPS, USPS wind up there. If something comes and you don't have it registered with the front office, Amazon will just send the code to someone else.
Last one: the tip options are out-of-order, so if you're reaching for the leftmost option you actually hit 25%. The 15% option was the furthest on the right.
Not to mention there seemed to be no option for "No Tip".
With the discord one, discord shop will be available for everyone eventually. Nitro users just get access to it before everyone else does. I think in a month or so its opening up to regular users. Regardless, I think the profile frames are not worth it and are a stupid investment.

5:45 This is the reason I refuse to buy carrier-locked phones anymore. Seeing these non-dismissible notifications and also being at the mercy of the carrier for updates in the first place.
This is a Samsung thing. You need something that supports lineageOS.
For the "Eye Area" thing - that's due to the pigments used and how they are categorized per country. There was a recent Huda Beauty palette that in the US said this but didn't say this in the UK where all the colors are deemed eye safe. The US FDA is SUPER BEHIND a lot of other countries on a lot of things that are considered safe. And based on the colors - most of those are probably just likely to stain.
"Not intended for use in X area" just means it's prone to staining - you'll be fine. It's not dangerous in most cases. At worst it means the pigments are potentially staining or irritating. They basically just have to put that there to avoid liability if you use it on your eyes. But there are people who use lipstick on their eyes and that also says "Not intended for the eye area" - so you're probably fine OP. That's not even Asshole design, that's standard design really that the warnings are small and hard to read lol especially on mkaeup packaging.
I guess the asshole design part meant for the ant d1ck sized letters. 😆
Also what kind of Neanderthal uses lipstick on eyes?
And yeah, americans have a weird sense of consumer safety. Like as thing that are not safe in most of the world are marked as safe in america, and safe things marked as unsafe in america. Even in case of food too.

The emergency alert ad, has to be illegal, right?
I believe it's already illegal for your phone carrier to let someone else then the government use those alerts, tho I don't know if that also means that the carrier themselves can't use it. I've never seen something like this, partially because my phone for some reason refuses to broadcast any national alert at all, which is of course a problem of its own.
I just use older technology for everything. Phones, computers, Televisions, Games. No social media. Everything in this era is about bleeding you dry. So I will have no part in this era. There needs to be a revolution in every aspect of life, because nothing is reasonable.
if its a pop up alert in your phone and you don't want it find the app/phone settings responsible for letting the alerts come through and disable them ... enjoy your new freedom from them 😄
For those concerned about the Samsung ads. It happens once a month and can be turned off by turning Off Samsung push service in app notification settings.
I don't even get them, and I have a Samsung device
Note about the 30/60/90 day unsubscribe: That's a "pause" feature. The service has an actual unsubscribe button further down the page, but it's hard to see and they make the pause option way too noticable (also for god's sake, who the hell would go to an unsubscribe page only to pause the damn emails... marketing smh)
I joined some sites a few years. I set my preference to "never" for every single email notification of which there were like 10, but I still get emails from these sites. I tried to delete my account, but they make you type your password. So I did that and it won't delete the account. So finally, I just changed the email to that of someone who stabbed me in the back. No confirmation either, now all the emails are going to him.
@@EmeraldEyesEsoteric That's a pretty good solution, honestly lol. When I run into nonsense like that, I make a Gmail filter rule to bounce it back to their email
Another scummy Discord thing is gifted subscriptions require the giftee to provide their credit card information. I would (sort of) understand if this was a true "free trial" scenario that the user is seeking out themselves, but for a *gift*? And with their shitty privacy policy updates recently? Hell no.
Pretty much every free trial subscription required you to enter credit card info. Why don't they just end the subscription automatically when the deadline has reached????
Yeah tried gifting a friend one once and they got that which sucks.
@@BiBiren Because it's designed to punish you for forgetting to cancel. I remember free subscription services DID end by themselves and prompt you to pay, various industries began to do it this way and it stuck because their goal shifted from convincing you that the service is worth the cost to "even if we scam them out of money once, it's worth it."
That said, GIFTS should still be different. A GIFT that requires me to give my credit card is not a gift at all.
Also russian accounts can't even provide a card because "billing is disabled in this region", so we can't receive nitro as a gift nor even as a free trial when those were given out.
@@arcturuslight_ man that's even more fucked :/
You caaaan use pressed pigments on your eyes as eyeshadows, you really just have to have primer or concealer on so they stick better since they are just the pigment, eyeshadows have more ingredients in them. In fact eyeshadows have the same pigments in them just with binders. Pigments can just get into your eyes and irritate them. So you can still use them, but the palette should be labled a bit better, like with an asterisk next to the pigments so you aremore aware of it.
And maaaaybe but just maybe with bigger letter size. Because i dare to bet that the warning text itself is extremely small just like as how everything else usually on any kind of product.
@tovarishcheleonora8542 it's the same size as the text for the ingredients, usually it's below them. But it's normally really not that big of a deal, it's still safe enough. Most of us are probably at a greater risk using mascara that we have owned for more than 6 months, now that's a real danger.
@@witchy90210 I mean, a warning text better to be in a size that easy to read without a magnifying glass, no matter what the product or the reason of the warning is. If you know what i mean.
Payment DELIVERY fee... Ah yes, it cost them $4 each time they send out an invoice. 🙄
It could, maybe they're from somewhere in africa or something, but probably not
'Samsung puts ads in notifications'
Yes they do, but also they don't - see, during setup, you can choose to agree to receiving marketing info among with something for a privacy policy and something else. But, there's a 'accept all' checkbox as well. I wouldn't be surprised if people just blindly select that.
Or they got a carrier locked phone, in case: screw those carriers and screw Samsung for allowing that to begin with.
my phone was from a carrier (originally owned by my mom, but since the contract is expired, she gets to go for another phone with the same plan and gets to keep the old one, so she gave it to me), and did not have any advertising notifications
I love it when RUclips forces me to disable my adblocker in order for me to watch RUclips videos and then I get an ad ON RUclips about adblocker and how it can block RUclips ads. GEE thanks for the ad RUclips. >:/
Certified Yt moment
Totaladblock works for me so far
If you pay, you can't get away with anything, you could even make an add that gets a virus everywhere or convinces people to die, they won't stop you

They haven't done that to me. Weird. Which adblock you use?
I recently got a job and asked Indeed to stop sending me e-mails. Apparently, I can only pause for three months before they start sending me e-mails again about available jobs again... even though they helped me find said jobs. And they couldn't stop sending me e-mails for two days afterwards. So in January, I'll be bombarded by 'available jobs' again.
All AMC had to do was call it "movie theater butter" and it would have been... maybe slightly less misleading? I think most folks can believe it's not butter without that, though. It's similar to the stuff Domino's puts on the pans for their pan pizza, a substance which is labeled "butter-flavored oil".
Companies will go as far as the law allows them to go when it comes to squeezing every last penny out of you.
And even then they sometimes try to get away with crossing the law as well.
@@Sanquinity Correct. I guess what I meant is that they'll go as far as they can get away with.
The Tetris thing reminds me of the UNO app I got (and dropped) a while back. Not only did you have to bet in-game currency to play (only making it back by winning) but if you ended the game with a particularly large amount of cards you could get penalized further. Not to mention all the fun optional rules, the ability to play with friends instead of in a random online room, and the ability to play for longer than 5 minutes were locked behind a $15/mo subscription. Like Bruh, a deck of UNO cards is like $6 and for $10 I can get it on Steam with *all* the optional rules and no time limit. 3 months of subscription is already more expensive than buying it for me and 3 friends. Wtf?
19:33 This is just like when valve tried to stop bots on tf2 by restricting all communication to people who spent money on the game.
The outcome will be exactly the same. The scammer bots will pay for the comparatively tiny fee to advertise anyway, and regular users will be screwed over.
Remember, it is always morally correct to pirate college-required textbooks.

The tips in the last one are out of order. If you want to pay the lowest tip and just aim at the left button, you select 25% when the 15% is on the opposite side.
Samsung's TVs also have ads built into the software, from what I remember right. I can say with certainty that I will never buy a Samsung TV. Glad my phone and tablet doesn't have that issue right now, though...
Howdy, we met again.
I have a samsung TV and I don't get ads on it. I've been seeing a lot about it but have never had that issue
@@mochitheangelderg9895 What I'm wondering is if it's regional... In this video, someone also complained about the TMobil thing in their Samsung phone, which would indicate they're in the USA. I've never encountered any ads integrated into my operating system, but I'm in Canada.
If any of my fellow Canadians can attest to their experience with Samsung devices and ads, I'd be happy to hear it! Genuinely curious if this is a regional thing.
I think it's best to buy slightly older models. They work well enough and mine has a pretty nice camera.
I have a samsung tv and never experienced any of this?? 💀💀
7:20 I think those colors are "pressed pigments" and technically not considered eyeshadow in the US. They're perfectly safe to use as eyeshadow as long as you're not allergic to it. The FDA hasn't approved it yet but I think some counties have approved them and I've never had an issue with it.
Now's your chance to see some [BIG ads]
1:30 Price is for two tickets. Online Processing Fee still full of Balogna.
8:35 They actually are working on that, but they roll out "features" to Nitro subs first as early access, so that's the jank.
19:10 - It is pointless for Twitter to be charging anything because all they are doing is VERIFYING the account by you paying that $1. There is ZERO verification of a person that pays for that blue tick.
If you have to pay $1 to sign up, they can check where the money is coming from to ensure each person only signs up once.
Plus, $1 is not a lot of money, but if you're creating a whole bunch of spam accounts, that will cost a lot.
I can't fathom why anyone would pay to use Twitter at all. Even one dollar is too much. Really, why do you care? If it's for marketing your channel or something, what good is that when everyone but other people promoting things leave? Even then, it's only good if you're absolutely sure your content would not be censored.
The problem with the last one all the tip options being in a seemingly random order tmk. Got 25 on the left, then it goes 20, 30, then 15. Looks to be set up to confuse the user into not noticing the cheapest option is the one on the right
that is why i have a separate email for junk like this
13:55 The minus button is shadowed preventing you from getting 0 and is forcing you to buy 1
You pronounce laundry as lingerie. I love it lol
The movie theatre is supposed to use "buttery flavoring", not "butter".
For ebooks... you can bypass print limitations... By simply doing Print Screen and printer the screenshot you took (after removing unnecessary parts)
Except some ebook readers literally block Print Screen.
Or better yet, that guy should request his money back because they basically scammed him.
@@ceu160193 This isn't a solution that applies to anyone, but hopefully it might save SOMEONE a few dollars: if you have multiple monitors, you can often put your ebook reader on one monitor, then click something on the other monitor and take a screenshot across both of them. Many ebook readers don't take multi-monitor setups into account and only 'protect' one screen... so if you take the screenshot from the other it won't catch you.
Partially it’s upsetting that you can only add 10 dollars to the laundry app but on the other hand you could add 40 dollars and that will last like three months doing laundry once a week so you don’t have to worry about it as much
This is why I have 2 email addresses. One for junk, one for stuff I actually want.
I think that last post, the a-hole part of the design was that 30% tip was posted in the middle of the options instead of at the end as it would be in numerical order.
Putting it in the middle with the intention that more people will click on it.
The isekai game isnt that bad at least lol. At least until i got to a point where it became a loli dating sim and i was like wtf

I'm pretty sure that there is not a single app/website in the world that allows you to decline cookies/terms of service.
13:19 I think it's because you have to pay $15 extra per ticket to have them printed. Otherwise they're only available digitally.
You could just print them yourself.
I don't see the issue.
Yeah. That's what the movie theater near me does. Or did, no idea if they changed it or not
I know that washer app! I had it at my last apartment building and god I hated it. It was buggy and laggy. Isn't the Internet great?
Heck, I'm disbelief that Twitter is pushing a new subscription to /USE/ the app and still be unverified
Twitter is already a hellhole as it is, honestly, we need to throw the whole app out :/
5:10 - Usually they tell why they would need those permissions:
1. Is there some part in the game where you can upload pictures?
2. Are there region locked events? Are there things in the game that have to do with region, & it wants to put you in the best place?
3. Is there a speaking portion?
4. The only thing that doesn't make sense is run at startup. Most of them are just about being able to play the game.
You can use those eyeshadows on your eyes, they will probably just stain a bit. Ive never had a weird reaction, just some staining for the night and maybe the day after depending on the shade (red is the worst). They just have to put that warning.
The reason the warnings are there is because the US requires it after a series of lawsuits. One of the Reds (I think 70?) is safe to use but technically breaches some obscure US law that wasn't designed for things like this, and people smelled blood in the water. It's easier for the companies to stick a small disclaimer on their product than remake the entire formula to get the exact same colour.
the 175-diamond thing for that pixel-based game is known as necromerger and fyi the prices change daily and often have discounts the game is not that bad though because ads are not forced upon you only if you want rewards. the game is well made and also the item shown is likely another better variant
5:30 i had to check because i saw the game but wasnt aware of the permissions it wants but yes thats actually true that it wants those.
By Default however it actually doesnt have these permissions, it just asks for the notifications, if you confirm it has it granted, otherwise not and all other permissions you would have to go in the settings and add them manually.
thats at least how it is for me on android.
sure its annoying it asks for more then it needs and that makes it suspicious and i dont know why they did that but on the other hand its also only a problem if it actually has these permissions when you run the app and i trust my phone that its true when it says it doesnt have them.
I have emulators and games for every system. Enough to last several lifetimes. To heck with all mobile and online games. Yes, I've done raids. It's just another glorified chat room where you actually pay to work. Just because the work is something you kind of enjoy. Of course if you have tons of money, then nothing matters, and you get to be out of touch with reality.

16:25 I know that game! the shop is reset every 9 hours with random items and prices (usually between 100-300 diamonds/coins I think), so OP is just getting upset they couldnt read the giant banner that said "DEALS REFRESH IN X:XX HOURS"
turns out I made a bit of a mistake, it restocks every 8 hours, and each item has a set price. the one in the image is a lvl 2 lectern (I think), and OP mistook it for a lvl 1.
8:42 In Discord's defense, they released a new Nitro feature labeled as "Early Access" and claim that the shop is under that. Currently a small percentage of non-nitro users _can_ buy these.
"a small percentage" - Discord PTB gives you access to all the early access stuff. the PTB is just a separate client you download and use, it's not even something you have to sign up for.
5:40 to be fair a lot of the stuff is needed by pretty much any mobile game. Most people just don't look at it. The change audio settings permission for example is used to control the volume and the prevent phone from sleeping is used in idle typ games that aren't programmed to run in the background. If you stop for a moment and think about all the features the software has (audio and graphics settings etc) you'll probably be able to see 90% of the permissions they ask for. The rest 10% are mostly for advertising
5:11 - I once wanted to install an app to listen to a late-night talk radio show I enjoy. The local FM station that carries it often has issues so sometimes the show isn't broadcast.
This is what the app permissions were: access to camera, GPS precise location, ability to send and receive text messages, ability to make and receive phone calls, access to photos and videos, access to address book, access to both cameras, access to local WiFi passwords, access to microphone, and access to stored passwords for other apps. I blocked each permission, the app issued a notice that blocking ANY of these permissions would prevent basic AUDIO STREAMING, so I deleted the app. I don't like the show THAT much to give unfettered access to my personal life.
that’s funny cause i played that exact game and i don’t remember having to give access to any permissions to play it and only had to allow the game to send notifications i don’t know where that person is downloading that game but i think they are downloading a virus or a scam instead of the actual game

11:23 My aunt had the same problem but with this “Roblox” app on her tv. It was just an entire section of Roblox RUclips content that was so bad, crappy, and inappropriate. It would not let her remove it and my little cousins would be constantly watching it even though they shouldn’t. It would show those stupid spammy minecraft monster school videos that would have the cutoff “WHAT THE FU-“. MIND YOU, MY COUSINS ARE BOTH LESS THAN 8 YEARS OLD
Bruh kids content is so horrible. Especially stuff like shitty low effort content farms that expose kids to stuff they SHOULD NOT be exposed to.
These irl microtransactions infuriate me to no end..😅
8:40 the profile decorations are in beta, they plan to open it to the public in the near future. you have to have nitro for the BETA version. the shown price will be offered to the public soon, hopefully. not that I would care, though, I know how to get them for free. its called ADDING THE FRAME TO YOUR PFP YOURSELF! also, there are some that you get for free with nitro. the plan is to have it so you get a discount when you buy it with nitro, and keep it forever, even if you no longer have nitro, and then the free ones that come WITH nitro can only be used when you HAVE nitro... so confusing...

15:37 wtf? the subscription model is supposed to make so you auto-upgrade whenever there's a new version
this move is pure scummy
That T-Mobile ad thing around the 6 minute mark must be from sometime around 2015. That's not a thing with them anymore, not in the states at least. They don't even have an app manager anymore.
For probably more than half of those entries, these would most likely be illegal in the EU, so I'm kind of grateful that they set up pretty strict rules for certain stuff (especially cookies and accepting ToS). And about forced ads/apps on phones (and smart TVs): that's one major reason why you should try to get one with android that's close to stock and not too modified by the manufacturer/carrier. Our new smart TV came with the default Google launcher that started showing huge ads for shows on streaming services (you don't have) after an update about a year ago. Well, since it's android, I could simply side-load an alternative launcher, and now the home screen is ad free and only shows the apps we use.
Yep. I do love how the EU is fighting this bullshit, at least to some degree. Love how they forced Apple to make iPhones type C. It's odd how they still get shit from the more conservative bunch about that stuff though. Guess that's what happens when people have the mindset of 'the free market decides everything' (isn't a free market when every company is doing the same thing).
@@callummclachlan4771part of the issue in some cases is companies have what basically amounts to monopolies. And the organizations that are supposed to prevent them either won't do anything or technically doesn't have the power to actually do anything about it.

Every time I have to deal with other Androids (usually Samsung, but other manufacturers to different extents as well), the asshole design is painful. Notably, all of it is avoidable with a little bit of effort. Learn to use technology, or the technology will abuse you.
5:50 that's not a usual thing. I think it's on phone that you get when you get a Tmobile subscription.
I don't get ads on my phone either and it's Android but it's a pixel phone I bought at full price.
Yes Google blah blah, but ANY phone that isn't Samsung or locked to a carrier will have less or no ads.
Apple has different policies regarding this kinda thing that are legitimately better, but not by much when you look at it case by case.
Amazon will not allow any review pointing out a product or seller is a scam. I bought something I never received, and the seller claimed it was delivered but would not provide shipper info, and the little shipping info provided made zero sense. Out of delivery 3 days in a row in the middle of the night. I posted and Amazon immediately took it down.
The guy who got the T-Mobile ads in their notification drawer, probs has a carrier-locked phone and carrier apps preloaded on it, as opposed to an unlocked device and the carrier apps removed.
My Android devices never had this issue.
The amount of issues I have with Twitter honestly has nothing to do with the paid content. It’s everything to do with notifications.
Leave Spamton there!
14:32 i literally barely touch that stupid app, yet all my notifications are attacked with friend suggestions for people i don’t know
Delete the app
I remember when my dad got a Note 7 preorder ad on his Note 2.
Good thing he just swiped it away.
There's an Emkay video playing in the first post 👀
I'm scared that Discord is becoming a pay to win, or at least pay to be noticed
Pay to win???? Win What lifetime virginity?
Last 1 the tips amount also include the taxes being tipped on, eg 108x20%=21.60, the 21.80 is 108+tax 1 ×20% =21.80
That last one, the tip percentages are in: 25%, 20%, 30%, & 15%. They put the lower towards the middle hoping you'll just automatically hit the far left thus giving a bigger tip. Alternatively they've put the lowest to the far right which no one does.
9:50 I just noticed the pharmacy fee on that hospital bill is 76$ That’s some expensive Pepsid.
13:37 its effectively making you pay for a physical ticket
That last one, the tip options aren't in order. 30% was between 20% and 15% when it should have been to the left of 25% instead.
Nice timing, coincides with Ryan George new video about if Quija boards were invented today.
Omfg my apartment has the stupid wash payment laundry thing too, we don’t have an app though we have the physical card kiosk thing but half the time it doesn’t read the laundry cards I hate it
The samsung ads have been in notifications for years now. I got so sick of it (among other things) that i switched to a phone with an unlockable bootloader so i could get lineageos. Been about a year now since i switched, ad-free and no bs :)
I remember one time where I got an ad about a killer being on the lose
..it was a news app
I think theaters serving soybean oil instead of actual butter is the industry standard these days. Why? I'm not really sure myself, though I could see it as a cost-saving measure as well as to label it as a fully vegan option.
And yeah, I fully agree that most will just call it "butter" anyway for simplicity's sake...even if I want to call it "butter flavoring" or somesuch just because that sounds more honest to me.
1:10 that app used to be so helpful, but after the update that did this i just dont use it anymore.
6:50
It wouldn't be so bad if it was fully hydrogenated, but partial hydrogenation of oils is how you get trans fats. You know, the kind that are incredibly bad for your heart and circulatory system? The kind there is no safe quantity to consume? The kind of fat where your consumption has cumulative lifelong consequences?
This is why I refuse to upgrade my Game Launcher. My suspicion was right. They want to make the ads bigger
6:02 Oh that's pretty much just Samsung, that's typically why you should get a pixel or like a Nokia or an android old device as they don't come with any (or very very little bloatware). I've really only bought tablets from Samsung so idk what models have ads.
Mobile games that require internet to play because it force runs an ad, forcing me to reset after every single level.
