YouTube: starts putting 2, sometimes even 3 ads that are often unskippable before and in the middle of 10 minute videos

Also YouTube: Why are people using adblockers?

freedom of speech means that the government cannot censor you. Lemmy is not the government

the final nail for me happened long ago. the site has genuinely sucked for years. all the content in the top subreddits is basically ChatGPT generated rage bait, so many subreddits have turned into right wing shitholes, and Reddit themselves have proven time and time again that they do not care about their users. as always their greed has gotten the best of them

the exact same thing happened with Discord. I’ve actually disabled my Discord account and only use my Reddit out of habit at this point

Good, then all the actually normal people will leave and Elon will have his echo chamber

I mean it’s literally in the terms and conditions of both the App Store and Play Store for social media to have a block button lol

just pirate it lol

fuck YouTube premium. why would I pay £19.99 a month when literally the only defining feature for me is no ads. all this will do is allow for more complex ad blockers to be made to bypass this
