Don’t forget to use ublock and adguard !

The day ad block stops working is the day I stop using sites with ads

I mean, I’m not.

For me it isn’t the length, but the frequency that is bothering me. It’s insain, it’s like every 3-5 mins depending on the video length. It’s unusable atleast in my case. Only watching from devices I have adblocker on now. Not my phone.

Pihole+ublock+privacy badger = win

Who’s these users? I have an ad blocker. It does the job.

maybe adblock is good

I just realised i haven’t watched a single ad in like 2 years

Thanks ublock origin!

Whats youtube gonna do when everybody is using adblock and they run out of money

When you see the long ad, just close the fuckin’ browser window. Immediately. And then use something else.

They’ll only get the point and change if you stop giving them your eyeballs for shit you don’t wanna see.

Where?

Oh! On the web interface? n_n I don’t use the web interface. It’s video, so I use a video player. I see no ads, ~ if I do [like ads read out by the podcast host], I skip ahead.

on YouTube’s TV app

That’s where you went wrong. Come to the free software community. We can mend bugs (like malicious features (like ads)) with free software, being free to use, study, share & change the software.

Then there’s me using Revanced and Unlock Origin

quality of content that I’ve been seeing on YouTube in my feed has decreased or I have gotten bored. but either way I have made a point to stop visiting that website as much as possible

I need to get back into reading. my ability to maintain focus has deteriorated so severely in recent years that I can’t even play a stupid video game anymore

Ublock Origin, NewPipe, and Grayjay, haven’t seen a YouTube ad in over a decade. 😌

Last time I saw a youtube ad was probably 2009. Or it might have been 2008.
