fuck off fatty, let me guess you also can't play a video game without a good reddit-written narrative
Fuck I hate you fags so much
I used to put up with the ads on mobile but when google tried stopping adblockers last time a year or so ago I said fuck it and jailbroke the mobile app.
>>712517962 (OP)Get a script or program (Webm for Retards lets you do it) that lets you download Youtube videos from the URL seamlessly. Whenever Youtube gets uppity about adblockers I just download the videos I want to watch
>>712518587I just use youtube webpage on Brave.
>>712518492its crazy just how the average person will take a bumming just so they don't seem "greedy" or "mean" for not contributing to million dollar youtube man's 4th mansion accessing a website in the current year without an ad blocker is like walking in Times Square with how much ads and pop ups you get blasted with this should be unironically illegal to do fuck these people
>>712518341cuck mentality
>>712517962 (OP)>Game taunts you
Even if you manage to defeat adblockers forever and make ads totally unskippable by embedding them directly in the video stream (kek good luck with that pajeetcoders) I'm just not gonna use the website any more.
Works fine on my machine
And no I won't be telling you my method

>>712518301>let helpless normalnigger golems watch a reasonable amount of ads>let those with a divine spark adblock and enjoy the website for freeThis is the perfect system that both increases traffic and gets them their goybucks. By becoming more obnoxious they just increase awareness of adblockers and create spite toward themselves. I will NEVER watch another advertisement again. I already stopped watching twitch because all my adblockers stopped working. I denounce the Talmud.
>>712518991This, the kind of people who know how to use adblockers aren't going to say "shucks they broke it so perfectly I can't do anything about it. Guess I give up I'll just watch the 5 minutes of obnoxious advertisements for crap I don't want" all they're doing is wasting tons of money on a hopeless endeavor which, even if they succeed, will only lose them a bunch of traffic.
Has the time finally come?
Will I be free from youtube forever?
I will never watch a single youtube video that has unskippable ads.
Reason I don't own TV or watch it obviously.
I'd be glad actually, yt is a huge waste of time and a distraction from hobbies.
>>712518975A week or so ago I had the anti adblock completely lock me out unless I used a workaround. When I got home from work that afternoon the ublock boys had already solved it.
how long until youtube premium starts to add ads?
Even other so called """"""adless streamerslop""""" started to add that shit to subscribers.
>>712518341It didn't make me give up on my adblocker - it made me give up on Youtube.

I don't care if I have to wait to download each individual video, I'll do it just to make sure Jewgle doesn't get a cent.
>>712519447there's already a "premium lite" that only prevents ads on specific types of videos, but shows them on music videos and others.
I've predicted a while back that there will be multiple tiers of youtube premium, none of them fully removing ads.

So how long do you think it will take for big tech to try and push a law to make adblockers illegal?
If you dont have a ssd, total warhammer is unplayable. Like 20mins of actual game with 40mins of load times
normalfags already watch all your stupid ads. I'm not buying your garbage anyway
I have an app on my TV that skips ads, self promotions, previews for shit that's already in the video, sponsored segments, reminders to subscribe, and endroll credits. It's amazing how much of a video gets cut out.

>>712518225Youtube is literally unsuable rage fuel without adblockers, and I'd rather go to jail for murdering one of their employees than pay premium
>>712522452Disregard that, I checked my addons and I guess I don't actually have one of those currently. Guess the noscript ends up blocking whatever blockers they're trying to pull out.

Simple as.
>>712522689I don't get it either but boomers always complained about you wasting your time to turn around and watch 30 minutes of ads inbetween the 20th rerun of the show they owned the dvd boxset for.
But recently I find myself in the same position for yt. Wasting too much time to fix the adblockers that got bricked only to watch shit content. I think it's time to drop yt for good unless you need a "howto".
Jewtube can tongue my asshole. Assholes put a strike on my account for having an unlisted playlist of TCR recordings that weren't even uploaded by me because "muh hate speech." I'll lose them as much money as I can.
>>712518492youtube is shite for music anyway
really low bitrate even compared to spotify and youtube always seem to fuck up the mixing and make the music sound flat and boring
for me it's soulseek + foobar
>people mention music
>they rely on music streaming
alright well even ignoring the tsunami of ads you'd get, what the fuck are they going to do when they're driving and end up with no phone signal?
>>712522786You know you can still download ublock on the mobile version of firefox, right?
i got a channel ive been building for 3 years. I insinuates my account will face restrictions if i dont turn off ad blocker. anyone ever get banned or unable to see videos or is it just empty threats
It's just a matter of time before watching ads is normalized again. Just look at shit we have these days like day 1 dlc and season passes and digital only games, gen Z has never known anything else so they think it's normal and even defend it and they're not to blame for it. In a few years gen Alpha will make fun of you for using an adblocker, all of this is corpos playing the long game.
>>712522689I have no idea, man. I visited my dad recently, and watched some TV with him, it was a recorded program so I started fastforwarding through the ads and he was like "What are you doing?" And he was just absolutely dumbfounded when I said that I was just fastforwarding through the ads ads. It was surreal.
I have had adblocks on every single applicable device I have owned for the last 20 years, I don't even have cable because I know that it just isn't fucking worth it. Imagine going out of your way to sit down to watch TV, effectively saying "alright, I am gonna set aside some time to engage in some entertainment" and then sacrificing like 30% of your time to being advertised at. Couldn't fucking be me.
If youtube ever "wins" and effectively blocks ads in a way that is permanent, I will simply never use it again.
I guess in a way it would probably be good for me, I'd probably start reading more again.
>>712522012why the fuck are you playing games without an SSD anyways?
>>712523594Manage your channel on another browser you colossal retard

>>712518975For now, every hard "block" has been solved in 12 hours max. The first one I think I remember took quite a while more, like 3 days.
Youtube is literally unusable with ads. The current business strategy seems to make Youtube as unusable with ads as possible, then force you to make you pay for slightly less ads. But adblock rapes this entire strategy in the ass, which is needed, given it's a retard business strategy, predicated on ANNOYING THE CUSTOMER SO MUCH HE WILL PAY YOU TO STOP BEING THIS ANNOYING.
For fuck sakes, a real concurent cannot grow fast enough.
>>712518225i would sooner use bilibili than use any google product without an adblocker
>>712524086I really wish people would just upload shit elsewhere.
>>712518975>Are the uBlock guys really raping the kikes this hard?As long as ads are being served client-side, AdBlockers will always win. JewTube can obfuscate the process all they like, our uBlock friends will eventually figure it out and bypass it.
>>712522012Yes, that's a real issue, but kiddo, /v/ pointedly doesn't care. I think when the 40 minutes on HDD (3+ mins on SSD) loading screens were first discovered with Total Warhammer 2, /v/ answers was, and I shit you not: 3 mins on SSD are good. It's just *3 minutes* on SSD. It's not a problem bro. And 40 minutes on HDD? Then buy a SSD, it's just *3 minutes* on SSD.
Fucking lmao.
Total War Warhammer is, I think, the first video game when absolutely insane loading times was accepted by /v/ as perfectly "reasonable". It was the game that opened the gates. It's basically the horse armor of loading screen.
Starfield came quite a bit later and had like 5% of the loading times of Total War, and people were pikachu face hard, surprised it became as bad as it was. Well, yes, that's what having no standard will get you. Morons.

How the fuck is humanity going to stop this shit without stopping capitalism and how are we going to stop capitalism if we benefit so much from it?
Is there really no way we can live with our comforts without having to bow down to our jewish overlords?
>>712525252YouTube pulling this shit is annoying and all but you literally are just asking for free goods and services, so fuck you too. lol.
>>712525252That is correct, it's unstoppable. Someone has to own it, and that someone will always be a greedy fuck wanting more. That is capitalism. Even what should be government services were privately sold off decades ago now. Hell, what do governments even do anymore? McDonald's does more governing than any state.
>>712518991>>712519150The only issue with this is that Youtube doesn't make Google money. They've been operating at a loss for a very long time, which is why they're so adamant about adblockers.
Why would I ever pay for a product they are actively made their product worse to use everyday?
>>712525398Careful anon, they've v& people for less. Although I assume they've fired the department that actually does that.
>>712525342Except the price we pay is not equivalent to what we get.
You think billionaires work that much harder that the average person?
>>712525342I never installed an adblocker until ads became so annoying that I couldn't bear to see even one more. If these kikes want new users to not install adblockers (we all know no one who uses them will ever stop) they need to go back to making ads that don't ruin the service.
>>712526236So that all their content creators go elsewhere along with their viewers..?
>>712526312because you're cattle and you don't care, you just need to consoom
>>712526473Not as long as Youtube partners are around. They make money to keep the platform relevant. A few dozen people who pool in millions and millions of views, which I guaranteed at least half of them don't even know what an adblocker is, all in less than 24 hours. They're the ones that keep Youtube a household name. They're literally the life support of the site; kill them and Youtube goes with them.

>>712526736Most books written in the past two decades are trash.
There's still hundreds upon hundreds of good (or at least enjoyable) novels written before the 21st century easily available online. Just avoid the romance genre because that's almost universally garbage.

>>712528103A couple of messages getting through isn't too bad. Google tries to crack down extra hard every now and then.
>>712522452There are a few adblockers that just non stop click every single ad on a page so all the information you send is a garbled mess. Pretty neat
I'd turn off my adblock if JewTube would actually remove all censoring and allow people to actually be themselves.
>>712524674the real endgame is injecting ads directly into the video stream in real time so there is no blocking possible, as there is no way to discern when ad content is being delivered or from where, all the client sees is 'the video you requested'
At some point they're gonna lock out all resolutions but 360p to their premium subscriptions, just to make people pay
>>712528208>What happened to banner ads? Just put some goddamn ads on the side.Not gonna happen. Ad firms want to inconvenience and harass you.
>>712528339re-encoding videos with targetted ads DEFINITELY wouldn't be worth the cost
>>712519447most 'premium' service tiers for most streaming already did this
You already pay 13 a month but then they change the tiers so now your 13 a month plan is 'premium lite' and has ads and now you need to 'upgrade' to the 15 per month plan to get the service you used to pay 13 for
Absolute kikery
I am convinced books have turned into genuine trash especially in the last 10 years or so.

>>712528692you misunderstand
not a sponsor, but rather a fluid injection of an ad, not some static ad put in the video. that would make sponsorblock ineffective. twitch already does this. the current only reliable way to get around that is to use a "proxy" that temporarily changes how twitch thinks you're watching the stream when it's trying to serve you ads. the consequence of this is that it lowers your stream quality.

The more you push ads the more i'm going to avoid them. If you're gonna tell me to use premium I know you'll jack up the price and add a new tier (see amazon prime which killed their applications with injected ads)

>>712529567Half of internet was blocked in Russia (youtube is too) after 2022. We have arms race vs DPI here (my ISP is spoofing DNS for example and it's fucking illegal). And it's getting worse.
>>712530193>everything just keeps getting worseIt's like they are trying to crash this reality with no survivors.
>>712522828I'm using all of those and it still happens
>>712528617Welcome to enshittification. What used to be a simple pause button is now linked to four different servers across the globe which tracks every single button press you do, telemetry and other dumbass shit.
Because they wanted to make a fraction of a cent on your pause button clicks, you have to put up with nonresponsive buttons.
>>712528709I'm in, how do we do that?
It's frightening to me there are people that can stand to listen to advertisements probably 100+ a day and it doesn't bother them
>>712531847kids are growing up used to that
Just watch the ads, you parasites
>>712531847They don't know any better and are just accustomed to it.
>>712532104Russians are finally being stopped from shutting up the internet for the rest of us, now we just need the poos and chings gone
>>712531934Whats in it for me?
>>712532187>firewalling poosYou're going to need US to side with Pakistan like how it does with Ukraine. Good luck with that.
>>712518225Wasn't there a report that only a few (single digit) percent of users actually use adblock?
Why waste millions of money and resources to fight them?
>>712529191i stopped using spotify a while ago (i use refreezer which is a client of deezer) but i remember spotify fucking up the cracked version and xmanager would do an update then it would get fucked again then a new fix would happen. That was months ago so who knows how it is now. Try it for yourself and check. If that doesn't work there's an experimental version on xmanager as well, i remember that worked too.
>>712528208The actual purpose of advertisements for about a century now is social engineering. Edward Bernays turned the whole think into kiked up psychological manipulation tactics, not to get you to buy shit but to change your behavior. Bombarding you is part of the strategy, and video is also more effective at control than a simple banner picture. The brain can't discriminate video from reality perfectly, it basically creates phantom memories of a life you never lived. You might notice how zoomers speak and act like TV characters.

>>712528884maybe you shouldn't have invaded another country because Monkeman wanted to revive Tsarism?
>>712518991Honestly it's a win/win. Either I never see a single ad, or I stop using Youtube for music and retvrn to my massive local library which will also cut out all recommended video distractions.

>>712529767Get sponsorblock.
>>712519739i like freetube a lot but for some reason i can't help but feel like the audio on it is lower quality than actual youtube.
>>712534228i already use it and adblock of course. this is more a matter of principle
>>712517962 (OP)>Open ANY youtube link>PC instantly grinds to a halt>Loading the site is apparently so taxing that it takes 100% of my PC's resources>Extremely long load times>Severity varies randomly to make you feel crazy, sometimes it's fine, others you're waiting over 3 minutes for a single video>Open a video in a private tab / no adblockers>Runs fineI don't know how the fuck they reach into your PC and choke it like that, but it's the most obnoxious shit ever. It's not just youtube, I notice a lot of sites using this "detect ad blockers and artifically throttle load times" trick. Everyone corporate with a monetary stake in the internet is turning to this shit, it seems like. It shouldn't take a damn MINUTE to load an email.
>>712535078works on my machine
>>712532893lol niggas that use Opera are fucking clowns
>>712535078Yes theyve said before they purposely "choke your browser" if it detects if youre using something like firefox with an adblocker, its actually hilarious theyre willing to gaslight people to switch browsers they can push ads into.
>>712533053I hate the antichrist

>infinite scroll shitware loads some more videos when I reach the bottom of the page
>it's the same videos that were already on the page, duplicated on every load
I bet this is some sort of a shadowban
>>712528339Ghostery adblocker (I think, might be some different addon) has a feature where you can upload timestamps for a specific video, to mark ads and other stuff. When other people watch the video, it automatically skips past the marked sections. It skips sponsors, but also engagement reminders and other youtube humiliation rituals. People would just use methods like this to skip around the ads.

What ads?
>>712535636You're assuming they wouldn't insert the ads randomly to be different for each instance of the video being delivered
