  Ads are illegal bullshit. I use a whitelist firewall not an ad blocker. Any company that can not host their entire service at a single address is no different than a business selling you stuff then telling you to go pick it up on the other side of town. Forcing people to connect to 3rd party sites is the most criminal bullshit possible. That is like the grocery store saying you can’t get in the store unless you go to McDonald’s and wait in line first. You don’t have to purchase, you just need to wait in line or you can’t get inside. Alphabet should be broken up. Not google, not YouTube, ALPHABET should have everything split up for antitrust

  Oh boy. This reads like the deranged ravings of Methany from her trailer porch.

      And you are the reason I am getting off Lemmy, for people that make uncalled for useless gaslight comments like this. This community has gone to absolute shit over the last two weeks.

      I don’t think you know what the word “gaslight” means. It can join the list that includes “illegal” and “criminal” from your previous post.

      Sorry the internet isn’t just people who agree with you on everything. I hope you find the bubble you’re looking for, I guess? Or that you grow up a bit.

  I mean... they're not.

  Any company that can not host their entire service at a single address is no different than a business selling you stuff then telling you to go pick it up on the other side of town.

  That's just not how the internet works, though. And would actually break almost all address-based ad blocking, as well.

  People who don't understand the internet shouldn't be giving advice on how it should operate.

      It is how a honest business works

      Nope, it's how the internet works. At all.

      If that means most of the internet does not work fine, I’ll keep my money.

      YouTube isn't taking your money in the first place, though. Unless you're paying for Premium, in which case ads aren't really a concern then.

  So like… Basically every website?
