Thank you for your service. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Ads are a cancer on mankind. I'll burn their servers to the ground before I ever start watching this garbage. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Thank god for Brave | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
It won’t make me pay a subscription. I just ignore the ads till the video I want to watch plays. Everything about Youtube annoys me, but it is a necessary evil that I have to live with once or twice a week. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Why can't they show ads in English then? Is there any such language restriction in Google Ads? In Albania or anywhere else? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
I don't think they'd remove the whole point of buying premium | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
What I really need is some kind of ad-break widget that mutes the phone, minimises the video, and constantly taps the position where the skip button would be. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
If you go to unlock origins subreddit and check out their sticky about YouTube Adblock detection, they have a recent comment in there for a filter you can add to your settings which should fix it for you | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
How about paying for a platform yall enjoy? Better than cable or streaming in most cases. Been subscribed to youtube premium for about 3 years now and have zero regrets (make a group of friends and split a family plan like I do ;) ) don’t yall have to pay for the working ad blockers or vpns anyways?
I have more than 1,750 hours of ad-free video watching so far. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
My work laptop has something that auto blocks YouTube ads. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Well, who knew living in a ballkan country nobody gives a shit about would end up being the best ad blocker for the time being | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Thanks! Yeah, getting flooded with recommendations lol. I'll check it out! | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
so yt will basically solve two problems for them | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Wish they made atleast a statement about this bullshit, but they know exactly how we react. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Try using other search engines. Google search is getti g worse and worse, with ads and spam above useful results.
I use duckduckgo. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Good news for user | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
We have a higher chance of getting bombed by Israel than Hamas tbh | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
And side loading,
And transferring stuff in / out of the phone without using the manufacturer's cloud service,
And installing another launcher if I want to
And even replacing the entire OS with another distribution | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Yeah I could not open the article since my adblocker was active lol | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Just get premium . I've had the family plan for almost 5 years. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
When it does, Bye Bye YouTube 👋 | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Third option, millions of people still can't be arsed to install adblocking measures and youtube continues to rake in money anyway | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Oh my god, I don't know why I never thought of looking for this. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Buying premium? /s | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Yeah, no. But even if it was, it would be an ad of something YouTube doesn't sell, so just another video.
There are videos of literal ads of products on YouTube with millions of views and they still have ads added to them. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
What a statement lol | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
You can look at Reddit and know full well that piracy is not just a service issue. It's most definatelly a cost issue too.
There are plenty of people here who proudly state that unless streaming platforms go back to a state where one can pay $5 for all tv and movie content that has ever been made, they will keep pirating.
Piracy is part of creating stuff. Some people don't value stuff, but still want to see/listen/play thus they find ways to do so for free.
The silly point is when these people try to argue that everyone should do the same, not understanding that people who pay or watch ads subsidise them not paying or watching ads.
If other people didn't pay for YouTube, youdube wouldn't exist. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
How much merch have you bought till now? And also merch cannot be bought in many places | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Yeah maybe I'm an outlier in this thread but I agree.
I have YouTube Premium. No ads, including on the TV and phone. Plus it comes with YouTube Music. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Yup. I actually feel bad for all the great content creators. Shows like Hot Ones might find a better platform but most will just fall away into the ether never to be seen again.
I'll never watch YouTube again if I can't skip ads | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
You dropped this king

Don’t you usually have to pay a monthly sub for data with a good vpn | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Then they'll make the experience even more unbearable. I mean, you have to be a masochist to regularly watch Youtube without an adblocker of some sorts as of now, and they COULD easily make it even worse. 5 non skippable ads? Rookie numbers. How about 3 minutes of non-skippable ads for every 5 minutes of video? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
I don't have ads on anything already. But I'll check it out. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
The same people complaining about paying for YouTube will have no issues paying for a Doordash delivery. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
And what's the criteria? Do they target users that don't block ads with more of them? Just curious... | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
This did not work at all on Android or desktop private mode with no extensions. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Sponsorblock already works wonders, I'm thinking something similar can be implemented. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
It all started when YouTube has its new CEO. He, instead of making friendly policies for the creators, chose to work for the ad companies and mega corporations. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Vanced - continues if you lock the screen. It'll help with the brightness, but not the noise... | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Same with Instagram, every other post is already ads, and then i'm supposed to watch shitty people do ads as well?! | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
"Might" in any headline is a massive red flag for me because it indicates a level of clickbait.
For instance, I might get struck by lightning tomorrow. Might not. Who knows? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
You chew bread? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
This did not work at all for me on desktop or android. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Pay to not have ads? Why should you get the content for free | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
That will be hard to do. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
YouTube with unblockable ads will be a site I soon forget. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
If YouTube makes itself useless, no one will use it. How they seem to miss this, I dunno. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
There will probably be a lawsuit at some point where the Supreme Court will have to decide on ads. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
This is like Black Mirror. Every time you try to skip the add you get charged money. If you try closing your eyes not to see it they alert you. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
The sheer cost of server space to run an operation as large as YT make "decentralized community run alternatives" a near impossibility. It's not so easy as just saying "yeah let's just host all the videos on my angel fire site!"
Also a lot of YouTubers upload as their job and a free hosting alternative that doesn't provide them with a paycheck won't be very popular. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Not to mention the unacceptable sound level rise of these mostly stupid low level adds. I’m muting the sound and watching at something else. I don’t even know what brands are advertising. I can’t believe companies still squandering $$$ for that | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
It won't. Unless Google screws this up, this is the end of the line for blocking ads on youtube. Youtube is about to become cable. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Joking about what?
Multiple people in this thread are saying that they won’t use YouTube if YouTube stops them blocking ads or seem to think it’s their right to have ad free content without paying. This is the very definition of an entitled person.
Just give me one valid reason why Google should even care about people who block all ads on YouTube? They are not generating any revenue and are costing money in bandwidth and server usage.
Ads and subscriptions are how Google is trying to cover the costs of running YouTube which as far as I am aware has never made a profit. Frankly if they don’t turn it round I would be surprised to see YouTube still running in 10 years time. Google will eventually get sick of throwing away money on it. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
People with ADHD actually just shut the app . Impossible to pair the tv or change video | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
It is useful information, but may be insufficient. To make the idea work, may require asking plug-in users to do more than tap a key. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
This is not a staged rollout. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
They think it's acceptable because viewership isn't going down. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
When a video I’m watching has obtrusive in-content ads I just stop watching that channel. Gotta vote with your views. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Every month YouTube gets better at: you don’t really want to watch me. You want to go outside and take a walk, go read a book, go to the garden. Ssshh. I am a waste of your time. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
The "ultra-rich creators" are usually large teams producing companies so they have to pay all those salaries somehow. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Futurama predicts the future…again. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Oh no! The expensive video hosting platform and people making content need money too! I will not accept this! I deserve content for free! Why won’t anyone think about me! | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Nope, because you will still not know when the apps appear in the stream, so you do not know the offsets for YOUR sessions.
Say you want to start the video at a pont 123 seconds in, you send the request to the server, it then sends you back your timeline with a start at 153 because you are already past a 30 seconds ad and you still do not know where you are exactly, because there might be another ad, somewhere in the ucoming part. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
What a great way to get me to not want to use YouTube. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
i would gladly pay an average joe money to not have ads than to give Google a single penny for premium. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
What you're talking already exists and it's called PeerTube. A decentralized video hosting platform. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Thank you. YT has to pay who knows how much in server space to store millions of videos and to expect them to do so as charity while also paying Youtubers who make videos as their only source of income is completely unreasonable. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
No its just the incessantness of it all. And the tactics are all the same. Start low and sweet for a while and then just creep more and more in there. Heck even the subscription services are putting ads in when the whole point of subscribing was to pay for the service and.get it ad free. Ads at petrol pumps them floating ads at the beach. Most of these companies are billion dollar+ and make record profits anyway but need to force more ads onto us. They've cornered the market of the Internet and it's just become a glorified cable service. Fuck this shit give me back the Internet I grew up with. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Wild to say, I know, but I think it’s entirely reasonable to suggest people pay for good products. YouTube Premium smokes my other subscriptions in value, definitely the last to be cancelled as I trim back. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Have you updated Ublock? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Thanks I hate it | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
They dont own firefox | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
If only it were 30s. I counted the other day, I had to hit skip 7 times within 10 mins of content, and forced to watch at least 5 to 30s each time before I could skip.
If I don't hit skip on some of the ads they last for over 90s each | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
I get 15 second unskippable ads in PS5 every 3 minutes. What is up with YouTube on consoles? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Yeah, all of this is their fault for making the most obnoxious and intrusive ad system in the history of humanity. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Well the key difference is cable television costs money and has ads. YouTube will still be free. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Seriously, doesnt you jaw hurt sucking the cock of a multi billion dollar company? Why are you worrying about their revenue? How brainwashed are you? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Donate some $$$ if you can! | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
youtube just starts color correcting the ads to avoid detection | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
The day I'm forced to watch ads is the day I am going to drop my utilization by 99%. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
I know. But theoretically they could cut the funding they provide. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
The Dev right out says it will not do that. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
That depends on who you are watching. The ones where it is just them mindlessly reading a script with some pre-made graphics that were provided to them are not good. Some YouTubers can actually make decent sponsor segments though.
They also wouldn't need to make sponsor segments but they need paid and they get nothing for people who use ad block. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
You know they don’t care about that right? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Some ads, fine... But it's getting worse | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
I watched an ad before watching a video but the video had a sponsor at the beginning so I wanted to skip it. I did so and was graciously met by more ads from YouTube.
It’s absurd. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Try YouTube Premium. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
I dream of a European search engine, built by the EU, paid with our taxes, but everyone outside the EU gets ads. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
"You will no doubt argue they make plenty of money, and that’s because there are people who sub and people who don’t block ads. "
"If everyone wised up and became literate enough to block ads, then youtube could die for all I care, I'll find some other way to occupy the time I spent on youtube"
At first I thought what I'm saying is going over your head, but then I realized you aren't even reading it. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
If they worked on cure for cancer as vigorously as they work on ads, we'd be laughing by now. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Google shopping often links to fake shops too. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
There's so much anger in this thread from people who expect to get their entertainment from YT for free with no ads. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
At that view level you really should be making some. Have you actually monetized your channel in the creator studio?
Also you don't get paid for any view that used an ad block. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
That is what YouTube wants though. A person using their service who isn't watching ads and isn't paying for premium is a net negative to them. They are still paying to host the video sent to you, but are getting no revenue back. They would rather a person not watch than have to serve videos to people who aren't making then money. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Or as hackers call it... A challenge. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
If people are setting up PiHoles and VPNs on their main network so they can have ad free YouTube on all devices other than their PC/phone then they’re savvy enough to use the same VPN to set up a google account based in Ukraine and cheese the exchange rate pricing of $3 a month for family premium. Add that account to your “family” and literally never worry about it again.
It’s been working for years now, eventually it might not, but until then there are definitely ways to pay for premium without going the full price route | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
"But before I tell you how to rebuild this transmission, I want to give a shoutout to today's sponsor, Magic Spoon. Magic Spoon is a high protein, keto-friendly, 0g sugar cereal alternative........."

The amount of anger in this thread about a company not being a charity and giving free entertainment while still paying their creators is wild. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
That and the mid-roll ads that actively interrupt the content. Youtube is so bad at it, sometimes cutting off people speaking mid-sentence. Completely breaks the video flow and makes me want to stop watching. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
