I have quite a bit to stand up for. But I’m not waiting double out quintuple the tone a single ad takes. You all would fucking die if you saw what TV used to be like. You just ignore the ads. You all act like you have to be glued to the screen the entire time. Do I like ads? No. Well I phone, and go out of my way to avoid using the products advertised? Yes. Would I wait 5 minutes instead of 30 service through an ad? No. Because my time is more valuable then that.
Well, the good news is you don’t have to wait. There are already a dozen ways to block ads. I don’t even see ads anymore. On anything that I own or is on my network.
And ads back in the day didn’t literally track you. I grew up in the 90s with surge and Nintendo and super soakers. Tons of ads that didn’t promote dollar store shitty items by everyone and their brother for a quick buck that were not crammed down your throat. Today is ridiculous, they literally track every second/sq foot you go inside a store, Google apple ibeacon, or look at the eink price tags that will change by the minute depending on who is near it. It’s created to extract every dime from your pocket.
TV ads of yesteryear is nothing of the privacy invasion trash of today, literally listening to your mic and announcing you’re pregnant to your family based on a few past purchases.
I will gladly wait 1 minute of video loading before playing than watch 2 skippable ads that I need to click skip on.
Hell, I will go rampage and claim that I’ll wait 5 minutes before video starts rather than watch a single 30s ad.
If adblock didn’t work perfectly on YouTube, then I’d just entertain myself elsewhere.
I just download them shits and delete when I’m done. Ffmpeg and VLC do a better job than YouTube even wants to do
NewPipe also never has a startup buffer
I mean honestly that sounds kind of idiotic.
Is there anything in your life worth standing up for? Doesn’t sound like it. Sounds like you have zero experience with principal.
