Comment on YouTube Says New 5-Second Video Load Delay Is Supposed to Punish Ad Blockers, Not Firefox Users
Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 1 year agoI hate ads so much that I typically would start a video on YouTube with my phone/PC muted and then put the phone face down or turn off the monitor for ten seconds before going back to the video and rewinding to the start.

They honestly never bothered me too much but I have to say if they ever succeed in defeating the ad blockers it will be hard to go back now that I’ve seen this side.

People have been conditioned into viewing ads as a normal every day part of life. It’s actually kind of scary, since it’s basically mind games to convince people to hand their money over.
