Absolutely. There are petrol pumps that play fucking ads. What do I do? Enter car. That’s horrifying to me.
I haven’t had YouTube ads for a long time thanks to Firefox focus but if I did? I’d probably abandon the platform. Otherwise I’d just put my phone upside down for as long as the ad might be.
You’re entirely correct. I refuse to ads. I wish billboards were illegal here. Ads are a fuck.
Ads on the internet are a consequence of people not wanting to pay for internet services.
This is absolutely not true as Steam and other niche streaming sites have proven. When you make it easier to buy what you're selling, rather than doing everything in your power to nickel and dime consumers to pad your stock price, people are fine paying for those services and you don't need ads.
Historically speaking, your statement is false, and there are multiple examples to prove it.
Then what's difficult about paying for YouTube Premium?
It's the enshitification of it all. They hike prices while removing features year after year. Corporate greed is never enough.
they literally raise the price every other week do you think that's sustainable to keep paying for (which is saying yes please take more money each time you pay)
No, they do not "literally raise the price every other week".
sorry i hyperbolized
once a month
my parents use it and I get the emails.
So you're genuinely saying that you get emails about distinct price increases for YouTube Premium once a month?
Ads on the internet are fucking spyware, no thanks
I’ll take my PiHole and ublock and wipr and never see them again thanks
