Those YouTube ads everyone hates made $10.4 billion in just three months

GrayJay seems to work for that.

It really is a pro tip, when installing more than one ad blocker is just gonna make for a worse experience, never mind the fact that it's going to make the ad blcokers themselves actually not work the way they're supposed to.

EDIT: Not reading any of the replies, so enjoy your circle jerk.
That's what I do as well when mozillatards begin questioning my browser choice thinking they're better person than I am.

Not OP, but your smart phone may not have been assembled with child labor, but some of the components/minerals used in its construction have been tied to child labor in the past.
Most people aren’t OK with that.
What evidence can you provide to support this, or is this simply your opinion?

I have no issue in paying creators with my YouTube Premium subscription. What annoys me is seeing creators feed the algorithm with “regular posts” or create filler videos for sponsors when they have nothing to say.
That and seeing explainer videos from someone who learned something five minutes before recording… the number of copycats and regurgitating the same news content is depressing.
The same goes for the epidemic of faceless AI videos narrating generic content… horrible. The “don't recommend channel” must be worn off by now, from me alone.
Fantastic exceptions from talented creators make it worth it, so I am happy.

Yeah that's not how this works.
It’s really not, though. Using their “good product“ ends up supporting the bad person. Most people aren’t OK with that.
You made a statement, not I. Either you have evidence that most aren't OK with that, or you don't.

Do you have amnesia? Because you definitely made a claim without providing evidence.
Not OP, but your smart phone may not have been assembled with child labor, but some of the components/minerals used in its construction have been tied to child labor in the past.
So go on then. Provide that evidence.

Those poor suckers. I don't think I've seen an advertisement on YouTube in something like five years.

Not Everything, just Nouns.

Google’s ad-pocalypse is a self-licking ice cream cone. Bragging about $10.4 billion squeezed from advertisers while users rage-install adblockers? Masterclass in delusion. The “diminishing returns” of shoving 15 unskippable ads into a 3-minute tutorial is peak platform decay.
Creators churning out AI slop just to feed the algorithm? Pathetic. But why innovate when you can monetize desperation? The ad bubble’s bursting—soon we’ll all laugh at brands paying billions for bots and ad-blind zombies.
Keep stacking those unblockable trackers, Sundar. We’ll just keep finding new ways to mute your digital serfdom.

For the record, you are obviously a very negative and angry person. Which Lemmy seems to be a somewhat breeding ground for. I would encourage to spend more time offline.

And then
And then
It's important to note that while several large tech companies were found not guilty of knowingly benefiting from child labor, their supply chain still benefitted from child labor; it simply couldn't be proven they had knowledge of what was happening.
Unfortunately, based on your previous response, I do not expect you to respond in a reasonable and mature manner, and have no desire to spend anymore time with someone like yourself. This is where we sort ways. Cheers mate.

Fuck yeah.
For anyone out of the loop, look into Freetube and Grayjay. There are other apps that do the same thing too, but those are good to start with.

Ads? What ads?

Yeah extensions on Firefox mobile is fucking awesome

If you see 0 ads and don't pay anyone, I'm not sure how the service could be sustainable. I'm also against ads but only if you're actually paying. That's why I do pay for a yt family plan but also use adblock+sponsorblock.
