I have a tab open that just loads a different ad every time I refresh. Apparently they've also started showing you a popup telling you that Youtube does not allow adblocking, telling you to either allow ads or buy YT Premium. Haven't seen that one myself, just started getting pre-video ads.

Seeing an ad on my desktop computer felt like someone just invaded my personal space or dipped their nuts in my drink while making eye contact, like I'm used to the browsing experience on phones sucking ass but I haven't had to deal with ads on PC in over a decade, it literally feels alien :what-the-hell:

    I will stare at a blank wall before I watch youtube with fucking ads

    I quit twitch completely the day they broke adblocking

      Whenever adblocking stops working on my phone I literally turn my phone away from me and lower the volume when I get YT ads

      Not watching that shit

      It still technically works on Twitch, but you need TTVLOL and it just blocks the video, it still interrupts. When it does that you can switch to Alternate Player and it resumes the stream. Bullshit of course, but I need my Just Chatting slop.
