And people judged me for watching YouTube with uBlock Origin, or via NewPipe for eons.

Look who's laughing now.

Good lord, the amount of idiots that white knighted me for using uBlock.

"WOULD U WORK FOR FREEEEE????!!?"

Like fuck off no I wouldn't. I also dont buy up every other company I see, turn it to shit and then try to force a political agenda through it, and guess who IS doing that using billions of dollars? Yep, Google.

Those aren't opinions I would care about in the first place. Somebody thinks you should be watching ads? WTF?

Please think about billionaires!

There's some justification for this idea since the people who buy the products advertised by ads are the source of the money that goes to the producers of the videos.

But that's not happening

youtube is too infested with ads, to make me disable ublock origin for my favorite channels. in anycase most of the channels become greedy pos overtime anyways. outside of pet one/animals/stem ones, ones that are just gossip or reaction or like mr beasts videos are no good.

YouTube on mobile is intolerable these days. NewPipe is the way for Android, though Google is in a constant battle to disable it.
