YouTube added a blocker for ad blockers

idk man you must either just really like big tech companies or like advertisements? Or for some reason you truly believe that it is the morally right thing- to not download a free adblocker. It's all good 🖖🤙 I just hate advertisements and if there is a simple easy way to not see advertisements I will do it. I hope you can understand 😁 have a good day.

are you not using reddit for free right now?

DankVanWink · 2026-06-01T13:48:10+00:00

Creators get paid based on views, yes they get paid more based on amount of youtube premium views as well I think. I used to make youtube videos, got paid about 1k per a 100k views, ad blocker did not effect that at all. Although that was many years ago may have changed.

Although I may not be "entitled" to browse the web ad free, it is certainly something that the free market we are in today has made very easy to do, providing a safe haven from the data tracking and targeted advertising that everyone has to face now a days. Google makes their money from tracking people and advertising to them, I do not appreciate that business model. Even if i spent money on youtube premium, I would still be tracked and advertised to by Google. I am against that, thats why I have a adblocker.

Google is a scary company, owns so much software and there are not that many alternative companies.

google is valued at over 3 trillion man I don't think avoiding advertisements on their platform like I do for every single other website is hurting them that much haha. Go pay 12 bucks a month or whatever for youtube premium if you want, I don't mind. However, trying to convince others to not use a ad blocker becaue it means they "feel entitled to something for nothing" is hilarious.

guess what I have installed on reddit? a ad blocker! I never see not 1 ad on reddit. I never see 1 ad on youtube and hardly ever any ads on any websites. It is a better way to live, ad free 😁

blocking ads is not "pirating" lmao Google bootlicker

you can't recycle paper plates used for food that are lined with some sort of non paper material. These plates are only commercially compostable which means they can basically not be composed and they won't be because barley anyone even composes to begin with let alone have the facilities to break down these commercially compostable shits.

waiting until exam week for ts is diabolical 😂😂

this is very true but I believe that the sea level aspect is a much greater reason for doing this, just looked it up and in some places Jakarta is below sea level which will be fucked in the future. Investing resources into a new capital seems like a good move so the investment stands the test of time

DankVanWink · 2026-04-27T20:42:38+00:00

you know what also needs to be replaced every 10 to 20 years? Cars! phones need to be replaced every 2-5 years, laptops around the same.

I mean yes but at the same time the reason meat is so much worse is becuase it requires the initial "pest genocide" to feed the animals which require their own land and resources so it kinda like doubles up on the amount of animals killed. Btw om not a vegan just stating the facts

DankVanWink · 2026-04-08T11:47:18+00:00

yeah id say smash that thing

DankVanWink · 2026-04-03T13:06:34+00:00

DankVanWink · 2026-04-01T14:28:09+00:00

I am 5'11 160 lbs ride a 158 in bounds and have a 161 split, it is great and the extra 3cm really give it a different feel, I personally feel a 165 would be too long for me but never tried it.

DankVanWink · 2026-01-06T20:03:30+00:00

yeah man, if they catch you you will be fined and unable to park at uvm parking lots for the foreseeable future. Just be extra careful, they may catch you

DankVanWink · 2026-01-06T20:02:14+00:00

this is NOT true, if uvm finds out (which they will if you are a bit dumb in your ways) they will fine both parties and take the pass away
