Comment on YouTube Tests Showing Ads When You Pause a Video, Calls it ''Pause Ads''
theareciboincident@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months agoNormies genuinely turn on their Smart TV, watch start menu ads, open the YouTube app, wait 90 seconds for the shitty cpu to load the web view, scroll through hundreds of Spider-Man Elsa brainwashing, open a video, watch 3 minutes of ads, straight into a 3 minute sponsor segment. All before seeing any actual content.
And they see no problem with this at all, the thought that you can make ads go away literally does not even occur to them as a possibility.

I know people IRL who get offended whenever I mention that I just block ads. Shit’s insane.

Ikr? I throw some money at creators I care about, but I’m not watching their stupid ads.

God this is so weird. “You have to watch and see ads to support content creators!” The fuck I do.

How are you going to make any money then?
Answer: paywall their fucking site.
I'm paying for Internet access. If they don't block their site it's free game.
