Half the point of ads these days isn’t to advertise to you, it’s to piss you off enough to upgrade to a paid plan. If they happen to also make money from the adverts, then that’s just an added bonus.
I’ll never pay. I’ve spent so much money of failed Google products at this point they owe me YT premium for life. If they make bypassing ads impossible I’ll just stop watching.
I feel the same. I don’t do ads. If a product doesn’t have an ad-free product that I’m willing to pay for, then that product doesn’t exist for me. Similarly, if a paid product decides to introduce ads (I’m looking at you Amazon) I’m immediately cancelling.
You’re not kidding. My girlfriend started talking about this until I straight up told her to stop. She already has ublock on pc she knows there’s a way, she’s just willing to pay to not have ads on her YouTube TV app because they’re frustrating.
Eh I get what you mean even if it does sound sorta mean and I don’t entirely disagree. I would just call it ignorance, she wasn’t aware that you could get cracked apps for tvs or that just hooking up your pc to the TV is an easier alternative to all of that. Now she knows and she’s all about it.
Were planning to move in together soonish and I told her I would handle all the techside of stuff and that she can just let me know what she wants and I’ll do it.

I’d say we haven’t got to all-despising baby skull yet, but youtube still keeps trying to recommend Joe Rogan.
If the baby skull is all-despising, doesn’t that mean it isn’t bigoted anymore and is thus paradoxically suboptimal?

your gf is kind of a tool and needs to crack or replace her TV.

yeah I’m usually the ‘I will make your machines stop using you’ friend. which is probably why I’m so bitter about people putting up with this shit.
