When Rick Astley dies, no one will trust any links to his obituary.

Not going to make us cry either!

[henrivolney@sh.itjust.works]

That's some quality shower thought!

[gregor@gregtech.eu]

This is actually pretty scary, viewer discretion is advised.

[fades@lemmy.world]

Who passes around likes to an obituary??

[dogsnest@lemmy.world]

This is a Fortune 500 Company that specializes in it:

Eternal Memories

XcQ link stays blue

[schorsch@feddit.org]

Remember kids: ...XcQ, link stays blue!

[cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

jokes on all of you. i unironically like that song

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

I unironically like Rick Astley period. I will not link to them because people will think I'm rickrolling, but check out his covers of Uptown Funk, Everlong and Ain't No Sunshine on YouTube because holy fuck. Especially the first one because singing a song with that few spaces to breathe live floors me.

At this point we all do

[hakunawazo@lemmy.world]

But will he run around and desert us?

[chetradley@lemm.ee]

Wow some of those distribution methods are insane, but the prices are crazy.

[kingjalopy@lemm.ee]

They killed it by monetizing it. Unless you're a chump who pays or only use newpipe or something it's just ads first. Fuck the Internet.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

If you open YouTube links in a new tab Firefox, they don't autoplay. It's very easy to avoid getting tricked in all sorts of ways if you do that and apparently the algorithm doesn't care unless you actually start the video.

Outcome unclear, try again later

[lifeinmultiplechoice@lemmy.world]

I'm never gonna give him up

[possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip]

Never gonna let it down

[alexstarfire@lemmy.world]

I will be severely disappointed if no one tries to Rick-roll people on the day of his death. I hope it's far enough on the future that people forget what Rick-rolling even is. It'll make it all the more sweet.

[kolanaki@yiffit.net]

If he dies, his song will be proven to be lies as he gives us up, let's us down and leaves us. He has to live forever or become a liar.

[schorsch@feddit.org]

Fuck GAFAM.

(And Bytedance, fuck them in particular.)
