Sample size isn’t the problem. The problem is we don’t have a control group to compare against. Ideally, you’d compare people with micro plastics to people without them, but those people don’t really exist anymore.

Turtles yes. Spiders not so much.

I know how obnoxious ads have become on the internet and I’ve seen how they have progressively gotten longer and more prevalent on YouTube but I don’t really know how to feel about this. Conceptually, they are handling and storing so much video data their operating costs must be astronomical. As far as I know, advertisement is the main way they recoup any of that cost so I can’t really blame them for this. Maybe they are just reaching a point where they are just too massive to work.
