    Shut your Pi-hole! My daddy had ads on the TV, and his dad had ads on the radio, and his dad had ads in the paper! I proudly allow ads and tracking!

  If you’re getting ads on videos, you need to get you shit together and install uBlock Origin asap.

  source

  • Lemjukes@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Or suck it up and pay for the service instead of actively depriving the creators you claim to support of revenue.

    • Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      uBlock Origin doesn’t accept donations. That’s the only product in this conversation worth supporting.

    How well does it work? On my iPad, Safari Adguard can only black out ad content. (Screen is black during ad, and it displays how many seconds of ad is left)

      Maybe try out Orion Browser. It has built-in ad-blocking and reliably gets rid of YouTube ads.

  This has never happened to me because I’ve been blocking ads for the last 15 years.

  People who complain about ads on the internet are such a weird concept.

  Why experience ads if you don’t want to?

  source

  • babybus@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Because ads don’t ask for your consent.

    source

    • skulblaka@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Sure they do, I’ve revoked my consent by installing an adblocker I haven’t watched a video ad in probably 8 years.

      Ads are a bit mind-rapey

      source
    • Lemjukes@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      And you have the agency and ability to either pay for the service or investigate other means of avoiding them. Complaining about them is just annoying.

  My favorite experience in this regard was watching YouTube on xbox (i know, i know)… They played a 40 minute redbull “ad” on a five minute video. In what sane world should ads be 8 fucking times longer than the content?!?!1?

  source

  • domdanial@reddthat.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I had a similar experience on my YouTube TV app, I was watching old history channels in bed, and there was a full length documentary for an “ad”. I could have skipped after 15 seconds or whatever, but I had to INTERACT with the TV before it would resume. I was distracted so it ended up playing like 15 minutes of an hour+ documentary ad.

    source
  • ikidd@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Why would they even make a 40 min long ad for Redbull?

    source

    • ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It was just a documentary that was shoved into an ad space. Something about their aerial stunts/races. Dunno. I got like, five seconds into it because FUCK THAT SHIT.

  • pinkystew@reddthat.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I never use youtube anymore.

    Laying in bed bored = netflix Up and motivated = steam or work News = Reddthat Tutorials = text-based articles, no unindexed untranscribed videos that start with the words “hey guys welcome back”

  i find using freetube keeps Ernie calm.

  source

  • Nelots@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I wish using freetube kept Ernie calm, but it doesn’t work half the time. Invidious has the same issue.

    source

    • oo1@lemmings.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I do update freetube about 1 time a week these days (which is approaching the annoyance level of ads).

      I used to have a lot more issues with it when I didn’t update so frequently - or maybe that was just a different stage in the arms race; I’m sure the reliability will vary, and eventually the developer of freetube will give up.

      I mean, I wont be throwing out the bat or anything crazy like that.

  UBlock as others have said. Or on android newpipe works well.

  source

  • dan@upvote.au ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    uBlock Origin, not uBlock. They’re different.

    source

    • BreadOven@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Ah. I did mean origin, didn’t know about the og uBlock. Thanks for pointing that out.

  • fushuan@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    As another one has said, try tubular! It’s newpipe but with sponsor block integrated.

    source

    • BreadOven@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      So it just removes the part in the video that they talk about the sponsor? I’ve never heard of such witchcraft.

  Yt-dlp and mpv with sponsorblock still rocks.

  source

  • pinkystew@reddthat.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    is there a similar solution for casual browsing – meaning, allow the algorithm to pick which video plays next? I think yt-dlp is only effective if you know in advance what you’ll be watching

  So far, every comment bar one has mentioned ad blockers.

  You lot are as original and creative as the numpties making comments about the size of the pilot’s balls on aviation videos.

  • tomi000@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    This is a post about unnecessary rage that absolutely noone has to deal with because everyone should use ad blockers. I dont see how it is ‘unoriginal’ to comment about ad blockers…

    source

    • Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      So far, every comment bar one has mentioned ad blockers.

      The fact that almost everyone is saying the same thing is pretty much the definition of unoriginal.

  Just out of curiosity, what do yall expect to happen when the only response to an ad supported free tier of something, is to block the ads? I know YouTube/google aren’t great companies, but when you run an ad blocker you also deprive the creators you love watching any revenue from your view. So you hurt the creators. If you can afford it, just sub to premium and stop acting like you’re entitled to everything for free. I despise ads just as much if not more than the next dipshit, but complaining about them, when there’s myriad ways of avoiding them, just makes you sound like a dingus.

  source

  • GiveMemes@jlai.lu ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Or alternatively, run and adblocker and literally give the creators you watch 1$ per month and you’re still supporting them 100 times more than turning on ads would, and you still get to keep some semblance of privacy.

    source

    • Lemjukes@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      So your suggestion is to manage 15 subscriptions instead of one? Not every creator has a patreon or means of direct support. Not to mention some of these creators only upload once a year. And what happens when I want to watch someone new? Do I have to drop another creator to give this new person money

      If you’re watching youtube and signed into an account you said goodbye to that level of privacy so long ago that an ad blocker isn’t going to do much.

    Most creators have patreons. The big ones take sponsorships also. The pittance they get from any ads I may have watched do not matter.

    source

    • Lemjukes@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      So the alternative is to manage a subscription for every single creator I watch? Currently I sub to Nebula and YT premium. For ~$20 a month. If I were to go through and sub to every creator I watch’s lowest patreon tier, we’d be talking about dozens of individual subs totaling probably more than double what I pay now.

      I’m not arguing against ad blockers but seriously, what do you think is going to happen if everyone uses an ad blocker and doesn’t pay for a service? You get Google pushing Manifest V3 as fast as they can. You get the huge arms race with the biggest tech firms doing everything they can to eliminate any and all kinds of ad blocking.

      It’s not about the amount of money you individually generate for a creator. It’s about the net effect of everyone running adblockers.

      I get the vast majority of people don’t use ad blockers. But just wow does it feel like people dont spend more than three seconds thinking about anything.
