I love how we've just looped back around to having network television again, truly the peak of innovation

    YouTube's Automated system wanted to put 5 midroll ads in this 12 minute video by the way. Absolutely incredible.

    I just want to say that I fucking love Sponsorblock and uBlock Origin.

      My issue is mobile, in the house it's fine with a pi hole (fucking pis are sold out everywhere tho god damn), but outside... man it's nutty.

        Almost everything ppl use genuine raspberry pis for can be done using the $15 orange pi zero.

        E:

        If you use a pihole to block ads at home you can install an openvpn service on it and set your phone up to tunnel to your home first then make requests from there, giving you a blocking on the go!

        Also you can look at porn on your works wifi.

        You can watch YouTube in a mobile browser that has adblock, you don't have to use the app

        why? firefox is available on every mobile platform I'm aware of and then the uBlock Origin extension can be installed. Every company that asks me to install their app can go fuck themselves

        Try newpipe for mobile if you're on Android. Its Foss and gives you really nice features (video overlay, download, ad free, play video/music while in lockscreen, etc.)

        Did pihole bring out an update? I thought it's not able to block YouTube. I need it for the TV
