  Then this isn’t for you. That’s fine. Adblockers like ublock origin still work. So do newpipe, piped and other front end services. Firefox and other none chromium based browsers etc. Do what you want with your devices.

    (abolitionists circa 1800) IMO slavery should be banned, and before anyone responds, no I don’t give a shit about the consequences of a change that substantial.

    Some things are simple and don’t require a nuanced take. I’m not saying ads are anywhere near as important as slavery but thinking something is an unmitigated negative and should be got rid of regardless of consequences is a legitimate position.

      How would getting rid of ads work? Like logistically? Is a fancy box for your product an ad? Is eye-level placement of a product on a shelf an ad? Is the make and model branding in a vehicle an ad?

      I would love to see less ads, or no ads, I’ve done all I can to remove them from my life entirely, but the magic wish kind of removal of them seems… impossible

        It would work the way the internet worked before google monetised monitoring everyone to sell ads, people who want a website paying to host it, and if they are a company charge for whatever they are selling.

  Ads are banned……when you pay for premium.

    Youtube is a shit company owned by an even shittier company, they’re not getting a single cent from me.

      I don’t blame you, just explaining why it’s silly to expect a server driven platform to offer its services for free. You don’t want ads, pay for premium, it’s that simple.
