This is not the medicine for curing what ails Wikipedia, but when all anyone is selling is a hammer…

JFC if there a uBlock list I can add to block most AI crap or do I have to get a new addon for that?

Fair.

Why bad?

Maybe sorta to update keys? But I think they will also do that if you pop in a newer disc. It’s been known to cause an issue with playback of older disks, I think.

How cool… advertising can be?

Ooh everyone look at Mr smarty pants over here being all literate.
