   #YouTube's #autoplay the suggested next video is annoying. Just play what I tell you and then stop.

      @lnxw48a1 I so agree. I use a Chromium plugin that blocks the autoplay annoyance.

         Oh... I don't know, I just love all those grammarly adverts! ;-)

            @chalkahlom I have never used "love" and "advert" in the same sentence since ITV was invented in the 1950's!
            I never "wondered where the yellow went, Pepsodent", "nor did I find the "Murraymint, the too good to hurry mint", nor did I accept any of the other drivel that followed up to the present day.

                  @chalkahlom Tried strenuously to avoid it.
                  I also found that for mash I should absolutely not ever in a million years 'get Smash'.

                     You somehow made me think of the 'nuclear powered Ready Break kids' :-)

                        @chalkahlom Haha! That stuff was appalling too! it was like dust that blew everywhere unless you fixed it to one place with milk. My parents tended to avoid these awful products and make their own food, though we tried stuff. It was the experiences of Smash, Ready Brek, Instant Whip and the like that convinced me that the world of advertising and "branded" products was 99% crap.
