Arrr, matey! I think we have an understanding! Ye may sail the seven seas, I don' see a thing wrong with it!

Youtube can't paywall the site, since that would create an even bigger outrage than longer ads. But they are already working on unskippable ads, so people won't be able to block them with conventional means. So to them, it's not a simple request. Either you watch ads or you pay. I'm personally not a big fan of that, since it feels way too intrusive and dystopian.

And yeah, Google as a whole sucks ass, we all know that. Again, I'm not arguing against stealing from them, but just that it IS indead still stealing/piracy to block ads. If you want to do that or not is a personal decision, but people still need to be aware of what they're doing.

Threema is pretty cool

JD should shut his stupid trap lol

Probably something about a beings true name giving power over them.

I know! It's like some people are looking at this and just see a piece of meat!

It's because they don't know enough about their wife's own genitals. They don't see those often enough to learn anything lol.

But in all seriousness: Very rape-y vibes from those guys, I have to say. Pretty gross.

Okay, and you are not entitled to use the platform. How do you suppose people are to keep it running? Charity? Good luck with that. In the case of Youtube or Twitch, video streaming is more expensive than you can imagine.

I'm not arguing against ad blockers, I'm arguing that they are still a form of piracy. Also, if you go to a cinema, you've presumably already paid for the ticket, so the cinema has already made money from you...

You've already paid to view the movie, it's not funded by ads. Same with commercial breaks. I presume you're already paying for the channel or service in some form.

Isn't that essentially what it is? Getting something for free through certain means you wouldn't get for free otherwise? Which means no money goes to whoever owns the service you're using?
