I’m so addicted to YouTube it’s gonna be a very rough time when I can no longer watch without ads, because I’m sure as hell not watching ads.
Comment on YouTube's war against third party apps is just as ridiculous as its war on adblockers

You can fix the problem by just…. Not using YouTube.

Simply pay, and you will never see ads.

I stopped paying when they increased the price, for less functionality.
Still paying membership for a couple of youtubers I wanted to support (that don’t have patreon, or ko-fi, or stuff like that), but gonna keep using adblocker for as long as I can, since YouTube adds are awful.

Loads of videos have embedded ads.

Name another platform that has anyway near the similar popularity or usability (usability on third party apps)

Irrelevant. If I don’t like something, I don’t use it. If I do like it, I don’t complain about it.

You claim to hate society yet you participate in it? Owned /s

YouTube isn’t society kiddo.

You can like something and want it to be better, in the lack of actual alternatives the vitriol against YouTube’s anti-user decisions makes a lot of sense. I think you’re just being contrarian.

I think the issue is that video content is expensive to make and host

Youtube is one of those things you can’t avoid in practice. So if you don’t like it what do you do? do you just miss out on most existing video content?
Mastengwe@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Yes. If you don’t like it.
