Time to double down on the adblocks, then. I get it conceptually, but I still don't understand this need for infinite growth at everyone's expense.

    Right? If I don’t otherwise pay for the service then sure, some ads are fine. Problem is that at this point I’m seeing ads every few minutes, and if the video restarts in a weird spot and reloads funny after I reopen my laptop I might even get the same ads looping after literally two seconds of video.

    Also, I was paying for the service and then they gave a fuckload of support to Israel to spread propaganda so I stopped.
