damn. You got me

The only good use of this domain.

YouTube ad killed "you got me".

Use an ad blocker.

Or pay for Premium.

I'm not sure you can on iOS? Or not in a straightforward way. If you can block YT ads on ios, would love to know

Using YouTube in Safari with AdGuard works. Not sure if it’s possible to block ads in the YouTube app.

A combo of StopTheMadness and a pi-hole works well for me.

Safari extensions "Vinegar" and "Baking Soda" are also great at turning pretty much any web video player into a native html5 player and automatically blocking autoplay.

1blocker can do that for now.

Thank heavens the person who bought that domain is Chaotic Good.

It could just as easily be configured to send a real payload if you're connecting from certain IP blocks, or if your user agent matches a certain version, etc. Advanced actors don't serve up a payload to any device that connects.

A redirect to youtube is lawful evil.

Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for.

Rickrolling in 2008: Boisterous Synth Music and Rick Astley

Rickrolling in 2023: Video is initially paused with a full title card visible, If you attempt to play it, you get 5 seconds of an AD playing before you can manually click a Skip button, then finally the synth music comes in...

Yeah, it just doesn't work anymore.

Rickrolls work fine for me tho. There are versions of the video without ads, rickrolling still works.

Look on the bright side, https://badday.mov/ works now.

Don’t forget the cookie popup you get before the video can start playing.

Maybe it just doesn't work as often.

My mobile setup is damn near as good as my desktop is. I got that all too familiar fill intro to groove we love to loathe same as it always was intended.

I wonder how many people will send this link by accident now

Excellent! We are fortunate the current owner of that domain is as others mention chaotic good.

Side note: Dungeons and Dragons role play is a meaningful part of our culture in ways I am sometimes amazed by. I think back in wonder to campaigns run on my bed, music playing in the background on my home assembled and built, custom for my room, sound system; people imagining, sharing, interacting with a quiet fire in their eyes, all of us holding onto a shared fantasy state for all it is worth.

Who knew?

I am sure some did, but I didn't. It was counter culture back then. And it was amazing! Text adventure games hold a little of the feel and at that time were kind of a bridge between normies and our scene with magic, fantastical creatures, artifacts, stories of love, evil, conquest, treasure, discovery and all of it intoxicating.

Hell yeah!
