This is literally the internet nowadays without an adblock
I cannot understand how some people are living with this. It is unbearable
You're viewing a single thread.
Honestly, just don't go to that part of the Internet unless you absolutely have to. YouTube is a great resource for information, but it sucks as entertainment.
You may not be going to the right areas of youtube.
I'm kept highly entertained with "True Crime" shows, audio books, manga & manhua recaps, and long form documentaries.
I'm always able to have something on my second monitor doing SOMETHING entertaining.
If that's how you're using it, then I think it's reasonable for them to make some revenue from serving you a constant stream of entertainment.
I pay for Google premium and I support a few patreons, yes.
That said, I still use ad block, sponsorship block, and privacy badger
Stuff like YouTube content should be free to those who can't afford it. Plus, my privacy is my own.
Those are the two major issues here
Why should YouTube content be free?
It shouldn't necessarily be free, but the information about whether or not I've seen their ad is privileged. AdBlock detection is an invasion of my privacy and therefore AdBlock blocking must be circumvented.
That sounds like a you problem, honestly. Tons of great channels out there for basically any interest. Do you just, like, only ever look at the front page without logging in? Like just at the absolute lowest common denominator clickbait stuff?
I'm concerned about your inability to comprehend the notion of not living on YouTube 24/7.
How did you get that from that? You said it sucks for entertainment, I said it doesn't and you get from that that I can't fathom not being on YouTube 24/7?
