Three strikes and then... ip ban? what?
Not surprising though, youtube is terrible without premium or an ad blocker.
And in both cases sponsorblock is needed, but youtube doesn't care about that part.

This is a personal collection of things I find around the internet.
Alright, so somehow you found this place. Here's what to expect:
- Posts will be random; there are absolutely no themes here.
- Posts may be overwhelmingly frequent (sorry about your sub feed).
- Posts may be unbearably infrequent; you may forget you subscribed here.
- Posts may be oh, so very boring to you.
Due to the nature of this place, you may find a bunch of stuff that you don't care about, but you may also find a new passion.
So, the gist is, this is a place where I'll share random things, and you'll discover the internet with me.
Oh yeah, I didn't advertise this place anywhere, so hey, how did you even get here?

Yeah, I pay for YouTube premium family (yeah, I know I'm a sucker) just so everywhere I use YouTube, like casting at a friend's house is free of ads.
On top of that though, all of my personal devices all use sponsorblock, because the experience is sooo much better.
Youtube is mostly hours of clickbait videos. For $12 a month or $120/year, I can be watching real movies and shows that I like on some streaming service. I don't want to pay. But if my only alternative is to be bombarded with unskippable annoying ads? It's simply unusable and I don't even want it. If youtube makes itself unusable, an alternative will arise.
Or maybe the ad-blockers will take a more aggressive approach to the ad-blocker-blockers.
