Comment on YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers

Good, fuck those greedy bastards. yt-dlp + mpv with sponsorblock FTW, bonus for stopping using a YouTube account altogether and using RSS feeds for your subscriptions instead.

Don’t watch it. I mean they have to make money. I block ads I don’t care and I’m not making up bs to justify it. I don’t cause I want to and I can.

  I’m more than happy to support my favourite content creators by other means, be it simple donation or merch. I will never subject myself to stupid ads, no matter the reason.
