        Who cares. These of people are YouTube addicts. Just stop using it, if you find it so unbearable.

          Oh I totally agree with you, I was just making fun of the downvotes coming from hypocrites who don’t want to abandon their favorite megacorp but instead cry a river about ads.

          Now I hate ads like the next guy, but either I find a way to block them, or I move on.

            Same here. These people are literally unable to vote with their wallet, not even metaphorically.

        Yeah, of course. They clearly force him to type “YouTube.com” in his browser and to press enter afterwards.

            Well, sometimes you have to make choices: videos+ ads or nothing. Vote with your wallet, if you are to do so.

              Yeah no, neither of those. I think they’ll continue watching YouTube videos without the ads

                That’s fine, if they’re able to do so. That’s why I wrote “sometimes”. I frankly fail to understand people’s addiction to YT. What’s more, Id really like all those crap YT, Twitch and the likes to disappear for good and go back to “written” internet. In this shitty era, a lot of useful info is actually buried in a crap load of self promotion and blabbering on those platforms (which I refuse to use).
