Content ID 

Bullcrap system that Audible Magic developed for YouTube to use on its site. The goal of Content ID is to prevent piracy. Instead, it limits the user by automatically treating them as a criminal, even when said copyrighted material is being used under fair use.

The extent of Content ID can do is up to the copyright holder. Viacom was one of the first companies to use Content ID after they sued YouTube for mass piracy. One of the methods is blocking reuploads of their material, which is usually done by major film studios and music labels. Other times, it's used to leech money off a YouTuber. One of the biggest reasons why it's hated is preventing users from monetizing videos. The average wait time to remove a Content ID claim can range from within 24 hours to an upward 90 days, with the longest being in the appeal and counter-notification processes.
Nearly 10,000 companies use Content ID. A majority of them are on behalf of industry giants who know nothing about Fair Use.

Audible Magic

An Orwellian organization run by Communist Party USA whose primary goal is creating technology to prevent you from uploading certain copyrighted content to prevent piracy. It often does not recognize fair use due to it being automated, making expression under the First Amendment a hassle. A company that will certainly cause the next civil war over creativity and expression.
A number of websites grossly exploit Audible Magic's technology, including YouTube, Twitch, MySpace, Vimeo, and many others.

Chris: It's probably a youkai town.

Apple stickers 

A freebie that comes with most Apple products which usually serves no purpose. You usually get two of them on a single vertical sheet and come in a variety of sizes and colors.
I can't count how many sheets of Apple stickers I have over the nearly forty years I started buying Apple products starting with the original Macintosh.
Stupid giant who loves informing Dolfy about pointless stuff.
Gunsche: I must inform you about something. You look like me.
Dolfy: No you don't. How dare you compare yourself to me. You're just a stupid informing giant.
