Frustrated YouTube viewers seek explanation for hour-long unskippable ads (Update: Statement)

If you like that sort of thing you'll like IHYLS

I guess I'll just appreciate the fact that my books don't have ads.

[crowairbrush@lemmy.world]

It's either this or cable, cable sucks.

So i'd rather adblock the hell out of them.

The Drachinifel of the air!

I read a lot of books on Kindle. It's just a matter of time ...

[sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works]

The base Kindle already has ads on the lock screen...

[chickenladyloveslife@lemmy.world]

I use the Android app, so at least I don't have to endure that.

[underpantsweevil@lemmy.world]

There's definitely good material on it. Was a big fan of "Dracula's Ex-Girlfriend" short film, for instance.

But its also got your garden variety YouTube crap.

[cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Using Youtube without Revanced or uBlock is like using a phone without a case.

[sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works]

Eh, using a phone w/o a case is reasonable. I'd liken it more to watching live TV. Why do that in the era of streaming services when you can (well, could) avoid ads and watch exactly what you want instead of whatever slop the network decides you should watch?

Then you're choosing to use their service without paying, and don't get to complain.

[crowairbrush@lemmy.world]

But you're wrong though, because i do get to complain.
