I won't pay someone to steal my money. Also bad bait from orange site.

>Imply the time of people who watch YouTube for hours every day is worth anything

I don't have to do anything, the ublock Devs do all the work. Every now and again videos taken a little longer to load, I just do something else when that happens. Google will never fully paywall YouTube, they make too much money from ads

>>105640500 (OP)
I don't see ads, that's what my ad blocker is for.

>>105640500 (OP)
I am not employed. There is no anonymous online job I could do and get paid in crypto

>>105640500 (OP)
I'm confused, is this dumb redditor trying to insist I pay for jewtube? he sounds like hes taking a giant shit on it.
if I see 20 ads a day on youtube I should not pay them like the 140 a year cucks do
I should not pay for a service that breaks 2 times a year

is this not what he means? what the fuck is he saying?

>>105640500 (OP)
You have to keep in mind most internet users now are third-worlders. You and I have no problem throwing $X at something to make it go away...
... but imagine if you didn't have $X.

>>105640500 (OP)
I really hate redditors

>>105640543
they're stealing your time instead, which is more valuable than money

>>105640876
You browse /g/. Your time is worthless

>>105640898
i'm getting paid for it by doing it during company time

also you guys just don't understand what the redditor is saying. for some people, paying to make an annoyance go away is worth it, if you can easily afford it
i don't get why autists sperg so much over this
you're not sticking it to the bigcorp by fixing your adblock filters 20 times a week, you're wasting your own time

>>105640500 (OP)
ive never seen a pre+made reddit username post anything that isnt retarded and/or disgustingly goyish.

>>105640500 (OP)
I'm not paying $140 a year for that bullshit. I'm gonna keep blocking ads for free. Fuck you, Google.
I'm thankful for all the chumps who don't know how to install ad blockers and are willing to subsidize people who are smart enough to do so.

>>105640500 (OP)
idk what the deal is, i saw the UHM STOP ADBLOCK PLS message like twice a few years ago and have had 0 problems since just running brave.

>if Google breaks your setup more than 2 times per year you're probably spending more time than you'd make at work on fixing it
I don't need to do shit.

>>105640927
>pre+made reddit username
from opsec / anonymity standpoint it's the best way to blend in with other throwaways

>>105640938
Is posting retarded comments part of their master plan?

>>105640500 (OP)
not seeing any ads, not paying $140 a year

adblocking is a beautiful thing

>>105640911
Have you ever considered not using youtube at all you dumb consumer cattle

>>105640998
no, i like to watch videos about technology, science and engineering
i'm not going to stop because some fat unemployed anonymous retard says some dumb shit on a basket weaving forum. that's npc behaviour.

ublock origin alone blocks youtube ads for me.
twitch is another story
>inb4 WHY DO YOU WATCH TWITCH

>>105641052
twitch works with ublock origin fine, you just have to add that twitch ad solutions shit to it manually

>>105641067
it stopped working last night

>>105641077
still works for me, just get that "blocking ads" thing in the corner for a sec

it does seem to work a lot better when you're signed in though, as if twitch sends less ads when you're signed in so it doesn't block them as much
you're using this one right?

>>105641097
apparently it's only broken on chrome.

>>105640615
First the plebbiter is trying to guilt trip you because you're a freeloader watching many ads when you could be supportive and pay them $140 a year.
The second part is trying to do the usual normie shame tactic is saying your just poor worth individual if you spend time fixing an adblock rather than just paying them.

>if Google breaks your setup 2 times a year
They could strive to break it 0 times a year instead of shucking the responsibility on to others.

>>105640943
i have botted reddit a few times and i usually just go for the bot heaven that is /r/politics to post about "fuck trump and elon" shit. once i even got 20 upvotes on a literal "fuck elon musk" commend that was in a gaming subreddit and i was testing and it was an accident... but i decided to leave ti as it is because the karma was good even if it was technically a coding failure.

The people who post on reddit often will just write shit they do not believe because its just a job where you earn karma. of course, if you do a praw based bot or a headless bot that just post via interacting with DOM elements, it is much smarter. If I personally bot reddit i expect the people on reddit to be mostly headless scripts bots, or praw bots if some organization is pushing some agenda. there is just no reason to post if you are a human, but scripts have their own reasons.

>>105641226
This shit seems so pointless. Bots talking to and upvoting other bots. Why even invest time into that.

>>105640500 (OP)
>they're making it worse on purpose (and routinely move features to higher-priced tiers), so you should reward them for that
No.
>you're probably spending more time than you'd make at work on fixing it
First of all, I don't make time at work. I make money.
Second, if you meant to say that the time I spend fixing it each year would be worth more than $140, then you're either retarded or being disingenuous.
"Fixing it" amounts to updating my blocklists, which is done automatically and does not require my active participation. I spend, with no hyperbole, no time doing this.
Even if this task WAS something that required any action on my part, it would take a single click and amount to maybe a whole minute every year.
Taking your poorly thought out hypothetical further: Even if this task took HOURS of my active, undivided attention to complete, I would not be losing money by doing so. Updating my blocklists does not impact my job performance, it does not jeopardize my employment, nor does it have any bearing on the figure I'm paid every year.
The only "person" who loses money when I choose not to watch ads on YouTube, is YouTube. And fuck them.

P.S. I got paid to type this out on company time.

>>105641249
they banned, i ban evaded, but they wanted karma for some subreddits, so i had to use a headless bot to post some anti-trump shit. In retrospect, me saying something bad about troonies, let to me breaking alsmost every single one of their TOS points, even finding a way to destroy the website that was discussed here: https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/105578347/#105579212 . In all honesty, I have never ever being so vindictive to a ban: they could either let me just say some shit about troons, but no, they had to make me message their jannies every day, with insults, ban almost all of my ISP's IP, still say shit about trannies and also bot their /r/ politics with meaningless "Fuck Trump, Fuck Taco, Fuck Elon" commends that they, themselves upvoted out of retarded need to be a "always right" hivemind, only for me to post "YWNBARW" after the account is old enough and has enough karma.

>>105641304
Why let them control you like that? Can't you just do something you enjoy instead of dedicating time to finding ways into places you seem to not like, only to have the opportunity to speak to people you also don't like. Statistically most of those people aren't even going to be alive to remember your posts.

>>105640500 (OP)
It used to be free so I expect it to stay free

>>105641077
Bullshit

>>105641401
go check github issues nitwit

>>105641329
i did not really dedicate all that much time and honestly i kind of enjoyed the shitposting. it may sound like it takes a lot of time to cycle an IP, make new account ( using their premate names + thrwoaway gmail) and then running a python script with slightly changed credentials, but in reality it takes like 10 minutes.

In many ways the shitposting aspect is a reaward on its own: you cannot here really interact with the other side. Being "toxic" here is meaningless as the only board with some sort of group infighting is /v/ and to some extend /pol/ . Yes, you can shitpost and fight the other side and be toxic here ( on /v/ ) but it still is not the same as some tranny telling you that you are "ignorant", "then "misinformed, uninformed" and so on... all while insulting you and all while you just make casual posts like : "yea i am a chud fat incel, its true, I am honest, but why don't you be honest too, man? You are not a woman. Just be honest". you can go post shit about the Switch 2 on /v/ and get similar responces, but it just is not the same.

>>105641496
I can't understand, so I guess we're just different. To me even if something requires 0 effort, I'd still rather spend time doing something I like with people I like instead of purposely engaging with the opposite, which sounds like visiting hell intentionally.

>>105641562
i just sometimes like to cope with reality online by going to places where tendies | troonies | israelites congregate drop a few 1 line sentences about them being a cultist Bing Bing Wahoos | man | demons and watch them seethe | dialate | cope. Its just a way to know that my life may be bad, but atleast I am not writing a fucking 2000 words essay on how sony is worse ( i do not even use ps5 but whatever ) | I am a woman | they have commit genocide or else they will be genocided as they were in the past.

People pay women money to go earn a degree in therapy to listen to their bullshit, while i go and just call some guy "my man". Its just the way things are.

>>105640876
Time is money friend. Giving your money is giving the time and sweat you expended to earn it. Also ublock never failed me so there's no downside

>>105640500 (OP)
I hate arguments that rely on the claim that one can freely exchange time for money whenever desired.
