If they actually continue on their path of ensuring no ad blockers work on YouTube, I will simply cease watching it completely. I really hate how aggressive advertisement became over the years. I didn’t mind non-gore (because some ads shown really gruesome health issues) and non-porn side panels which didn’t animate. Hell, sometimes I’d click if they had what would interest me. There is absolute zero chance I will buy anything which bothers me. And I won’t let it waste the time of my life.
I like the game grumps and Lex Fridman. The documentaries are cool, but I have to watch them in a different container or YouTube will start feeding me 30 minute ads or rants that sound reasonable but are super bigoted and flawed when you actually think about it
Reddit meant more to me than anything else I do online, and I committed to leaving it behind even before I found Lemmy… YouTube is barely worth it even without the ads. And I’ve got a whole fediverse of video content to investigate
