I blocked your ads because I DON'T WANT TO FUCKING SEE THEM.
Advertisers are some of the most entitled fucking people in the entire world, thinking they have a God-given right to demand everyone watch their obnoxious bullshit. They know people hate their ads. They know nobody wants to see them. They know they're imposing them on us against our will. But they keep fucking doing it.
Joke's on you, though. I can just use a third party converter to download the videos I really want. If I use Google to search Youtube I don't even have to go to the site, much less watch an ad.
All you lose is not being able to comment on videos (good for your mental health) and Google profile (the dreaded algorithim)
Most youtubers have multiple social media handles/business emails and many use patreon or kofi. Adsense only benefits those already at the top of the (user-generated content capitalism) totem pole. Sponsorships are more common to see and easier to hold the creator accountable (Raid Shadow Legends is an Israeli dev company owned by an Australian gambling firm lmao), anti-zionists somehow get the zionist 40 babies ads on their videos so its obvious what pulls the strings there.
Down with the antisocial-social user-media platform!
(All of the programs mentioned above are cross platform, no excuses!)
Will check this out, thanks!
