Me. Very.

They only recently started blocking ad blockers.

On mobile web I just refresh the page when there’s an ad. This works well.

On desktop web I also just refresh the page when there’s an ad. This works less well. 

 New pipe just works fine, never seen an ad for ages, screen of playback also still works. 

 Why don't you use NewPipe or whatever alternative clients? There is a desktop native installable one. 

 Just ignorance I guess. Thanks for the tip! I will check it out. 

 if you’re willing to learn a new paradigm, something called ytfzf works very well.

 Looks promising. Thanks 🙏 

 They tried blocking Firefox + uBlock and failed. I haven't seen an ad for months, and hadn't seen one for years using Brave browser, before this last failed attempt by YT. 

 I watch YouTube with ads AMA 

 Why? 

 Idk I just sit there and wait. I suppose I could get an adblocker. The last one I tried stop working at some point. 

 How often does your brain leak through your ears after having it liquified from watching all those ads?


🤣🫂 

 those ads are just for you bro. subliminal kek 

 I just slurp it up with a straw and keep truckin. 

 If on Android, look into the newpipe Software and the f-droid store while you're at it. Unfortunately I cant help you with Apple products.

 YouTube with ads? Most people actually, and they have no idea.

Now, since we are here, let's go deeper. 

Ad = attention towards something. So the videos themselves are actually ads, because the algo promotes something and hides other things. Of course I'm not logged in, and neither are you I assume. However the search is also algo. And the videos contain ads. 

 You tube is nothing but  ads :-) .. there is no entertainment there .. it's a way to rot your mind into one narrative from another  .. hahah ..  

 I watch ads on youtube 

 Brave browser bypasses the ads, amd lets you listen with screen off 

 So does librewolf and it's open source (: 

 100% Normies. 

 I'll just leave this here then for the poor folks who are no longer able to block their ads.

 What do you think of newpipe from the f-droid store?  

 I've downloaded the APK directly from their website.

Actually once I installed Obtainium I got rid of f-droid. 

 Same. Obtainium is awesome but we need to get rid of github dependency next.  

 Are people addicted to youtube? If I watch something there a few times a week, just deciding to  watch what I want, why to feed the big tech? By paying them you help them to enslave us and promote wars. Thats another perspective but of course if you are a regular user you may want to pay for the service with better quality (with no adds) 

 People are addicted to TV-style media. Jewtube is just one big portal for such.  

 new pipe for life💯💯 

 Freetube for pc/laptop works great also. In my world ads doesn't exist anymore. Sometimes when I see something on other peoples phone I realize they still are there🙃 

 Lol the same people who watch TV 

 ?
