We could make a list of complaints about either but most people would still use windows before touching Linux. It’s that simple. Of Linux was that good , why isn’t everyone just flocking to use and develop for it. 🙄

You see how that works though. They express windows is apparently worse than Linux because of a survey. But I could say the same thing about I have no idea why anyone would want to use Linux and restrict themselves to an inferior product.
One survey in a browser that’s made by the os developer is fine and people just like to over react if it’s not their precious open source software. Putting up with using Linux seems like even more bullshit if you use any application that doesn’t support Linux.
Either way , they’re free services so who care.
🙄 way to be over dramatic
Because many of the people on this site are cheap fucks to think Linux is the best os and everything should open source and free. The modern internet is so bad while still taking part in it.
But at the end of the day, I watch YouTube in peace without having to find ridiculous work arounds on all of my devices. So we’re happy and they’re the ones upset
YouTube has had ads for longer than I’ve been using it. They introduced it in 2007 from a quick google search. I started using chrome in 2009, and Adblock extensions not too long after.
I’ve been here the whole time and I’ve known that ads were a way to monetize the video, but I blocked them because I don’t like ads. For a while it just seemed like Google didn’t care. I just did it because I could and there was no alternative. When they released premium , I went that route. I use and depend on the service for a lot , so I don’t mind kicking them some funds.
But please do continue expecting something for free despite the fact you have an option to watch it for free with ads or to pay for premium because that’s how it always was 🙄
Ahh yes the value of getting something for free for almost 2 decades goes down the moment they actually want people to watch the ads or ask people to pay.
I can’t remember the last time I let someone ring me up at Walmart. Self checkout was always faster because most of the attended registers were closed. Most of my adult life I’ve bagged myself and idk if I’d want to go back tbh. The tech is annoying to deal with though
When that happens to YouTube , I’ll change my mind. But until then I’m not going to continue acting entitled to keep using an adblocker because I feel they don’t need the profit. I solved that problem by paying for premium years ago. If you’re concerned about having your data sold, why even use the service. I’m helping support the content I’m watching either with ads or by paying premium. What they do with that information is a separate issue.
It’s not really a problem though, least not one worth being constantly all over my feed. the solution is in the picture. Allow YT ads or pay , it’s really not the hard.
Crownie not being able to play kaisa is hurting them a lot. Then wako does that. That said, I’m hoping they can be a little more competitive this series they definitely have shown they can compete in this stage
I’m just saying none of those are worth the switch to Linux. Not if you use applications that only work or work best on windows and to a certain extent Mac. Chrome and Microsoft do it to each other , it’s nothing new. Download your browser and move on.
