Linus Tech Tips really is scum. Yet more proof of that.
Same person that said ad blocking was the same as piracy.
edit: People downvoting me like I disagreed with him. Just saying how he looks at it. I think it’s a bit of a false dichotomy but they are definitely similar.
Have you ever heard his full stance on the matter? Because he clearly stated that this is not a judgment against using it. Heck, he's been open about having sailed the high seas himself and still doing so for media he physically owns.
It's just that gaining access to media while circumventing the payment (ads in this case) is basically piracy. Which is fair.

How much you want to bet he uses Ad block himself but it's suddenly different when YOU do it on HIS content?
