I use the Orion browser with uBlock Origin installed and get 0 ads on YouTube.

Well his own speech is absolutely free. I’m pretty sure that’s what he meant.

Even funnier to give someone a Windows 98 version and watch the brain hurt a bit.

Like I get it, it’s scary and I don’t want them to have my data, but my picture is being taken ALL the time basically everywhere I go. Is putting my foot down for this specific type really making a difference?

I’m gonna fall through the ceiling :(

Even beyond renting, installing a wifi camera is SO much cheaper than running Ethernet all over your house. And if you need it run through an external wall? Even more money.

Call it what you want, but this requirement prevents me from buying their products too. I use no Meta services. Don’t wanna start.

I’m doing my part too!

You’re out of luck for Apple TV, but not for iOS. I uninstalled YouTube from my phone and use Orion browser as my default now. It lets you install extensions from the Firefox or Chrome store, so I have ublock origin installed on my phone now and YouTube ads are gone.

“Yeah, I know it’s shitty, but it pays the bills 🤷🏻‍♂️”

I thought he was on the femboy breeding college instance 🤔

People definitely do. CTR (click through rate) is generally pretty low, even before the majority of Americans were using ad blocks. But it’s not 0

This entire thread sucks and is breaking the rule about being respectful. Please stop.

Implying that those who disagree with you are subhuman is right out of the fascism playbook and it’s definitely not being respectful of others. You can hold that opinion and you can even broadcast it widely on the internet. The rules in this community says to be respectful of others and that by it’s very definition is not. I’m not interested in arguing further, and I’m definitely not interesting in talking geopolitics with you. I want you to be respectful of others and if you can’t, I’ll remove the content and ban you from the community. If others are not being respectful, report them and I’ll review that too.

I don’t care about the content of what you are talking about. The community rules say to be respectful of others. And you aren’t. I asked you to stop but you want to argue.

I think saying that any group of humans “aren’t people” isn’t being respectful of others. Please stop.

You’re right. They care about our privacy and would never do anything to sully that trust. Certainly not through a partnership with an electronics manufacturer that pays them to do it…

They basically did the same thing several decades ago with Kindles and whispernet. It’s not really that crazy.

Patreon for the ones you really like, and substituting watching my own content on Plex is how I’m weening myself off YouTube.

I can get basically anything I want at cheaper prices than locally available by the next day. I can get an increasing amount of things delivered to me same day as well which is pretty nice. The return policy is also a big part of it. There’s basically no fuss or questions asked for anything you want a refund on. You don’t even have to put it in a box, you can just drop it off at the UPS store.

They’re evil, but it’s pretty great from a user perspective.
