Click bait title using Elon Musk and Starlink but there's lots to be learned from the article.

Just saw an ad for Starlink advertising half price terminals, hard times over there after the CEO's antics....
Thankfully there are local choices, sky choices even lol

What is really bad and needs to be called out publicly is YouTube. For two reasons - 1) searches are bringing up videos that are completely irrelevant/not related to the given search terms (even if some/all terms are in quotation marks), and 2) videos discussing the current POTUS (and, in the thumbnails, showing his likeness) are being forced onto ALL users' "recommended" lists, search results etc., with prominent placement, even when a user has never, ever pulled up any video relating to the current POTUS or North American politics at all. Doesn't matter if I watch a popular music video or the unlisted clip I recorded last year of our hockey billet getting his birthday cake and "happy birthday" sung to him, there's Disgusting, Despicable, Deplorable, Dumbass Dickhead Douchebag Donnie right there at or near the top of the recommended list. EVERY. GODDAMN. FUCKING. TIME. WITHOUT FAIL.
These massive problems have completely ruined YT for me. Whoever is in charge of YouTube is a FUCKING IDIOT who will NOT do a goddamn thing to solve these problems and improve the UX. When I enter specific search terms, I expect YT to return videos that have said search terms in the title or description, and not go off on some unrelated tangent, bringing up bullshit like MrBeast, Markiplier, Jimmy Fallon, Joe Rogan etc, and of course, the current POTUS, and sometimes Elmo too. Especially when the search terms are in quotation marks. For example, if I'm looking for old editions of CKVR Total News, those words and the callsign need to be in the title and/or description of every video that comes up in the search results. As soon as any unrelated content shows up, YouTube has lost me.
To the people at YouTube who are responsible for these ridiculous "features, not bugs", you are disgusting, demented, absolutely horrendous lowlife scum. You have RUINED YouTube. You have DESTROYED what was a perfectly good thing. YouTube was not broken, so why did you mess with it?

Rogers ftw, since their internet works when the power is out.
They seem to be in bed with Comcast/Xfinity.
