Comment on Google used to show ads I didn't mind. Now Google is THE reason I use adblockers.
cloudless@piefed.social 1 month agoYouTube isn’t a necessity — and neither is the internet, really. We don’t need them to survive. That said, I do enjoy YouTube as a form of entertainment. I’ve tried alternatives like NewPipe and Invidious, but none of them work as smoothly as YouTube with ad blockers.

I use NewPipe, all YT links are redirected to NP app. It is flawless.

First message sounded like you implied others could switch to peertube or something (which is an option but with tradeoffs)
