It's crazy anyone would willingly use Chrome and browse the internet without any protection. You'd be surprised though, as many of my friends don't even have an adblocker.

In a way I guess it's good for people like us who just block them, as the ad watchers are essentially subsidizing services like YouTube who would otherwise crackdown harder on ad blockers.

    Some people pay for youtube premium+ (or whatever it’s called) and try to be oh so smug about the quality of service they get. YT with no ads. If you pay for it. I’d rather just not use youtube.

    I haven't yet met anyone who're so smug about paying yt premium, as vanced offer much much more. I paid it, have no complain, but i wouldn't be smug about it, that's just silly.

    They're the same people who go "I'm fine with the raising prices. It's a valuable service to me and I make lots of money, so I'm fine with bending over for their shareholders."

    It's capitalism signaling for people with more money than values and ABSOLUTELY no sense of pattern recognition or consequences.

    My brother and both of my parents will not stop talking about youtube premium with me. My brother is definitely smug about it. I’ve hit all the talking points: How easily ublock origin solves ads completely. How it’s a moral imperative to deprive Google of as much money as possible. How sending one month’s fee directly to the creator or buying their merch is infinitely more supportive.

    They’ve never rebuffed any of that and just kind of change the subject. And less than 24 hours later we’re back to a beamingly proud “I got YT premium man, I’m telling you it’s so worth it. You should get it!”

    I think next time I visit, the first time my brother brings it up (probably within an hour of arriving), I’m going to force him to acknowledge that we’ve had the conversation before. What YT Premium does to a mf, smh.
