Maybe if their ads weren’t so intrusive and repetitive, fewer people would use ad blockers.
I only used reddit and youtube for my procrastination. Since dropping reddit I've picked up books and learning shit on YouTube. If YouTube kicks me out. I'll just ha e to go to the library to learn shit
I'm waiting for Amazon to start putting ads into Kindle.
YouTube bullying people into paying premium membership
For some reason I thought it was $3/mo and I finally went to bite the bullet because I felt like the benefits outweighed the cost at that price point.. then I saw it was actually $12/mo!? I get that it includes music, offline, etc., but all I want it for is the ads :/
Yeah that's just crazy. There's nothing about youtube that would make me pay that much.
If this happens I will dedicate myself to bypassing this. Whatever it takes. I will not be watching ads on YouTube
It's invidious time!
You would think right after the Twitter and Reddit fiascos that maybe YT admin could use their brains. Or not, whatever they prefer.
We won't pay, and we won't watch ads. It really is that simple.
Meh. If they keep this up I'll go somewhere else. I'm not gonna waste my time watching YouTube without sponsorblock.
Good old yt-dl(p) to download then watch them locally. Or use Invidious :)
