Youtube and others want their users to disable adblockers to increase their revenue from advertisements, but will forcing the users to so do be effective in ...
Having so many ads I couldn’t even get to the content or comments was my final straw. I sideloaded uYou through Altstore and now have a great time without all the BS. No, Alphabet, your cesspit app full of ads isn’t going to make me subscribe to Premium. It’s done the opposite.
A pre-roll ad and a banner was obnoxious enough for me to start using ubo on desktop, on mobile I kept using the official app because newpipe is not a very nice user experience.
When they started to play two long pre-roll ads, one mid-roll ad for every couple of minutes of content, and a post-roll ad I switched to NewPipe and Libretube. I felt like the content-to-ad ratio was close to 1 recently. Way worse than it ever was on TV.
It’s insulting to its audience. Apparently that’s the new cool thing in marketing. I can’t wait to see this house of cards collapse completely. I honestly hope it takes half the industry with it. Too many greedy sycophants out there.
Insulting is right. When I just want to quickly look at a recipe, or how the one guy removes the crank pulley from his Miata I don’t want to have to watch 1 minute worth of ads just to see a still image or 10 seconds of the video. Fuck right off, YouTube!
Oh man, that car is so beautiful. And I love the rf mechanic, it just looks so sci-fi to me. Sadly I’m too tall to fit into one. Can just admire them from afar

I knew I liked you. A Miata RF is my mid life crisis dream car. Just want it to be EV powered with a manual stick.
