@stux I block all the ads! I haven't seen one in quite some time. I either use NewPipe, Invidious, or uBlock Origin :ablobwink:

@stux I pay money for ad-free youtube. I hate ads as much as I hate stepping into a pile of dog-poo. It even stinks the same. And ads are always a pack of lies, misguidance and f*king opportunism. Or plain theft.

@apenkop @stux at least you pay for the content instead of straight up blocking them, good work!

@stux On firefox (also on mobile), I have no ads thanks to extensions. On TV it's quite terrible already..

@stux @apenkop I'm no content creator but I believe you can disable ads on your videos, so they're completely free. Though I feel once they get to a certainly level of popularity YT might put them on to cover costs of delivering them.

@justinz @stux Iād rather if I could have just blocked all the stupid ads. Now I pay some sort of ransom money to be allowed ad-free youtube. Itās an upside down reality; a dystopia, from the crazy notion that I be forced or was born to consume ads. My utopia would ban ads entirely.

@apenkop @stux I'd love to have an ad-free world, but sadly capitalism demands someone, somewhere be paid for every aspect of our lives.

@stux A look into how Mastodon might appeal to YouTube users might be in order.

@stux Yeah, and its not just YT but every other friggen streaming company that claims its free. Then , of course, theres the Netflix biz model. Its enough to make you want to enjoy a good book and an alcoholic drink, hmmm?

@justinz @stux I totally get that. It is todayās reality. I support content creators either by being a patron on Patreon or by paying for ad-free Youtube or by my own direct scheduled monthly payments, e.g. to Stuxhost and Wikipedia.
