![This Intel N200 Mini PC is SUPER Quiet [Beelink EQ13 Review]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/HOK72us33P4/mqdefault.jpg)
youtube's ads are disgraceful, mobile gatcha games, pyramid schemes, MLM schemes, it's absolutely shocking they make up about half of the ads i see. and only reinforce my desire to block the ads.
This. I wouldn't mind watching ads if they were high-quality. Unfortunately too many ads look too low-effort/scammy nowadays.
yutub
Yes; this has been my experience as well.
I keep getting that f*cking Hero Wars being advertised
The fact they don't moderate or validate those adverts just shows how money grubby Google can be.
First it was an ad near the video.
Then they started putting little banner over the bottom of the video.
Then they started putting skippable ads at the beginning of videos.
Then they started putting skippable ads throughout the video.
Then they started putting unskippable ads throughout the video.
And now we're at multiple lengthy unskippable ads throughout the video.
I wonder why adblock is so popular...
Partly the massive security vulnerability posed by ads; but also, the ads.
😜
They also put ads in livestreams from what I hear.
I still think it is hilariously bad when I got two midroll ads where the first was like 2 minutes and then the follow up skippable was over 7.5 hours for a surfing competition, and to top it off this was for a 6 minute video. At least the surfing competition was more entertaining than the 4 times a video Google ads, or the screaming gotcha games, and other irrelevant, questionable, and/or obnoxious junk.
"...users might experience service issues like buffering, error messages, and videos failing to load..."
I get all of those without having to run an adblocker!
Next up a lawsuit comes to youtube stating they blew up ppls hardware and are forced to pay billion us dollars .
same lmfao
Technically throttling your connection just because you have an ad-blocker enabled is already illegal.
Yeah these are the reasons I haven't bought premium, I don't trust it would work
@@defectiveparts8604exactly, they gonna have a very bad time in the EU :))))
Adblocker is essential for surfing the web, not just for RUclips but everywhere. I've had shields up for the past five years on all my devices and I've never looked back.
It is literally reccomended as an essential for browsing the web by countless big cyber sec firms including wait for it....THE FBI
the FBI recommends using adblocker as a basic security protocol.
@@ShaggyRogers1It doesn't.
@@Gkario It does. FBI literally encourages adblocker use to fight scams and malware. Malicious ads delivering scams and malware have been rampant on the internet for decades, and the FBI started encouraging adblock use YEARS ago.
@@Gkario I wish i coul link the article but YUT will delete the message.
If RUclips stopped showing literal scams in both Shorts and standard ads, I would have never had a problem leaving them in place.
This is the biggest problem i have report 10+ crypto ads that are scams but in my own words i see all crypto ads as a scam get en email back it got reviewed and does not go against there ruling (so a bot lookt at my report and not a real person that or a person looked at it but has 0 knowledge of how to use a pc or even what a scam is)
I shit you not the first AD I saw when my adblock finally failed for the first time in over a decade was.....a Ben Shapiro ad about 'beign a real man & values' or some other fearmongering bs.
@@d.b.cooper1Yeah, it's the worst toxic man bs
Imagine RUclips being under investigation for being the accomplice to financial crimes by forcing people to fraudulent advertising. That'll change their tune.
I wonder if we get such crap ads because we never click on them, so the only people willing to spend money showing us ads are the bottom tier spending stolen money anyway and paying a minimal amount for it.
RUclips needs to figure out their AD moderation.
I made an honest attempt to stop blocking ADs. But some of them are extremely disturbing. I remember getting a "Here is the sound of an owl being tortured, screaming in pain" as that was supposed to be some PETA nonsense.
I don't need this in my life. So I will block ads as long as I can.
There was one gambling operation that was more than half the ads I saw for well over a month. One that isn't even legal in my country.
An ad that featured a known sportsperson driving off down the centerline in an expensive car. So, someone so confused he didn't even know what side of the road to drive on wherever they filmed it.
I got a Chinese ad where a girl made some loud, embarrassing sounds, unskippable. Due to moderation, I can't describe it but it sounded like the birds and the bees. I swore never to watch RUclips with sound outdoors unless it's on bluetooth.
Damn, the horror stories are real
@@yensteelum what kind of psychopath would watch RUclips with sound on where members of the public can hear anyway?
I saw ads in times of democracy elections, but some of them were "not" from a party. The ad show how a kid using an app to buy a loaded gun and the kid shots his sister and himself, the message? This is what will happen if "X" party wins
It's so f up
Well, 95% of the channels I watch are demonetized, yet ads still run on their videos so RUclips can keep 100% of that revenue, them stating ad-blockers "prevents the creator from being rewarded" is grand!!!
I love how RUclips uses the argument of the creators get not getting paid when blocking ads, when its been proven that their ad revenue is peanuts compaired to their other means of income.
RUclips can also demonetize a video because they believe it violates their community guidelines, but then puts ads on the video to make money for themselves. They're either being disingenuous or straight-up lying about the 'creators need to get paid' concept.
Last time ltt published their info RUclips was still quite a significant chunk of it. And not everyone pimps merch.
and they forced to add ads to videos which deliberately don't want ad revenue, either by uploading copyrighted/flag-able stuff (songs) or when they have other source of income and don't want youtube's unreliable ad sence which infairly can kill your income for the video for no reason sometimes
No, it wasn't proved to be peanuts. Unless you're blacklisted, copyright struck, demonetized, or don't even have many views in the first place.
Huge advocate of Fadblock merely on the chance that its fast-forwarding counts as an ad view for the content creators. If not, oh well. I would be willing to pay for YT premium but not at a time that looks like rewarding this behavior. And deliberately staying away from the Google ecosystem like Chrome because of these antics.
Let the cat-and-mouse game begin. May the best ad blocker win.
This is why I use a Network adblocking IoT Device, because frick ads, I don't have time for it. The world is just to full of them.
but our favorites content-creator and educator on RUclips might lose their income if there is no advertisement
Yeah I'm down for it, and in the unlikely event of a "loss" I'm fully prerpared to not bat an eyelid. Platform is laughably weak these days as it is.
They're actively encouraging watching other platforms same video is uploaded, or watching other platforms while downloading YT vid ad free. At the rate things are going the most watched YT content will be viewable on illegal streaming sites, soon.
@@Grid21 as soon as they figure out how to beam ads into your dreams i'm gonna die myself
Soon enough we’ll have security cameras with actual guns.
adva
It's called the Americanization update
"If you look to your left you see a drone with an integrated taser and a mechanism to latch on while it has power to tase."
Perhaps it's already there in area 51😂
been working on that for a while. can't say how many neighborhood animals have helped me test it........................................................jk
The problem is that If everyone is paying the next thing they'll do is to rise the prices and put ads on premium too
Duh 😅
Well you could just stop paying and leave RUclips. Companies only do what they do because people eat it up. Vote with your wallet
@@Simon-L-BRUclips wants you to leave if you don't pay through either premium or ads, though. It costs money to serve video.
@icantcomeupwithnames469 the problen with this logic is that, when half of your viewers leave and using an another video platform, even the ad requester will not pay the same price for the ads, if half of the viewers, than half the price too (in statistics they only see the users, they don't care the paid/free users ratio, only the maximun amount of reacheable user..) so they need to raise the price again.. so what the original comment said can be true..
@@TamasKiss-yk4st If you're not watching the ads in the first place, then you're not watching them, let alone clicking through. Advertisers get a lot more information on the ads than simply how many people view the videos RUclips serves them on.
The problem is ads aren't harmless. they're high resolution images, photos, flashy banners that all eat at your bandwidth. it doesn't matter if you have a data cap or not, they don't care. They siphon a little bit of your bandwidth (that you pay a premium for) to advertise a product. This also increases load times for pages.
Not to mention some ads are malicious, and predatory.
to me that's like the idea of you're filling your car, someone walks up to you obnoxiously soliciting some product, but also siphons a little but of your gas while they're there.
You know there is a way out?
So you're willing to pay for the content you want to read/listen to/watch then, right?
@@stillmoms Me?
@@stillmoms I do pay for the content I watch, I pay my service providers the fee to access the internet. The sell it to me like it's a finite resource, and in a way it is. there's only so much bandwidth available at a time. It's not my fault or concern what others do with the web. The fact that there's content creators that have found a niche of a job online is great! But why is it my concern to adapt with their needs/wants? Besides they could choose to gate keep their content behind a pay wall (Patreon). Many individuals do this, this is the way business is most typically done.
I can block ads, so I do. And I benefit greatly from It. No, I'm not sorry.
You know RUclips was the most widely used video hosting platform _before_ RUclips bought it & began packing it with ads, right?
Content creators want their content witnessed. Great works are made to be great, not only to make great profits. When rent-seekers move to greener pastures, communal operations arise to meet communal needs.
When will youtube understand that they cannot kill the hydra, they sometimes win battles, but they will never win the war
till alphabet just decides it‘s not worth it anymore. All lose, yay. But hooray, no ads
But make their life harder 😊
@@angelG14 And two months after that, another platform has taken over.
Hopefully, one that actually gives a damn about its users and creators.
I personally can't wait for that day.
@@angelG14ah yes, there will totally not be another new free video platform that emerges from this. People forget that RUclips was once one of several small video platforms and it surely can get replaced if it goes down. maybe Clipfish will make a comeback lol
It’s ok more of use need to touch some grass anyways
I joined RUclips when the ads I agreed to see were banners and sidebar ads.
That is the agreement I hold them to.
The intrusive BS they push now is horrible.
Wow, the altruism of RUclips, rewarding content creators? Some creators don't even snag a slice of the ad pie, even when they've given the thumbs down to those uninvited ad intruders. If RUclips's really keen on us ditching our ad-blockers, they ought to resurrect the "Dislike" button for videos and let us vote on the best and worst ads we're forced to endure. Fair's fair, right?
Big fan of the return youtube dislike button extension
@@TheVisualParadox More like a necessary evil, since the server of that is not open source and it kinda has a monopoly on a lot of data, which in due time CAN be sold. And the creator hasn't been too cooperative to address these issues, so while I used it for quite some time, I've decided it's not in my interest to support it. The concept is great, but as it's stands right now it's on it's way to become it's own evil (or at least could without us knowing)
Paid ad-blockers & proxies, too.
Paying a subscription for a service, tends to get diminishing returns per dollar.
Paid proxies were always a bit scammy (relatively few can verifiably keep no logs & there's considerable operational & monetary & legal incentive to collect usage data) & now companies that can easily know what ads they're blocking on which sites, are eager to bundle "premium features" with their ad-blocking...
Buyer beware! Whether you pay or not, you're still the product. The only altruistic services are communal services.
youtube is not RUclips, it's ShareholderTube, if there was a solid competitor, odds are i would be over there.
RUclips is entrenched. The only way for there to be a successful competitor would be if content creators could move their entire channel, videos and all over to the competitor's platform.
Vimeo exists but its nowhere close to YTs depth.
Vimeo now charges for hosting most content
@@prophetzarquon1922 theres that also
PeerTube exists, not that there's anyone making the effort to dual post there. A handful of uploaders aren't enough to draw casual viewers looking for randomness. It would take a lot of major uploaders, dual posting to _the same platform,_ to get a decent userbase going.
Platforms like Patreon have the benefit of being attractive to content creators who fancy the Idea of getting paid by patrons, but the experience isn't great for viewers hoping to kill time without committing to multiple subscriptions.
So long as uploaders keep posting only to profit-driven hosting platforms, the situation is unlikely to improve. Uploaders who just want stuff seen, have other options, but right now the one with the most public awareness, is unfortunately still TPB...
RUclips tries to gaslight us by saying ads support creators, but every creator since the adpocalypse has said depending on ad revenue is not the main source of income. That’s why they rely on patreon and sponsorships
Good old animal farm is still a classic, "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others"
Remember RUclips getting angry at Louis Rossmann and FUTO for "misuse of the RUclips API", followed by Louis replying, saying that they don't even use the API to begin with?
Perhaps RUclips took that too personally. Now no one is safe.
I feel more motivated to payy for adblocker premium than yt premium
Absolutely!
Don't say that out loud or we'll get round two of the ABP fiasco.
One of the problems
If it doesn't work with ad-blocking, I generally just won't use it.
I'm not going to live out _Fifteen Million Merits,_ thanks.
Don't do that, uBlock Origin is superior.
Who in the hell goes to RUclips to buy things? I don't go to E Bay to watch videos!
Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out who buys stuff from online ads in the first place. I'm sure marketers and ad sellers want to highlight how effective they are, but are they really? I can only speak for myself but a promotion with a lower price in a grocery store is probably the most effective way to get me to purchase. Even for things like fast food with a time-limited menu item advertised in a traditional TV commercial doesn't work; yeah, probably be interesting to try but at the price it is selling for, not worth it. Now that's the study I want to see. "Have you actually bought something you saw advertised online? If so, we'd like to speak to you now!"
@@commentinglife6175 i suspect half the stuff that gets clicked through on is someone accidentally clicking on something. I do it all the time. If advertisers want to waste their money on datamining that results in utter rubbish, that's their problem. The only downside is that consumers are paying for the obscene amounts spent on advertising, in the products they buy.
As soon as they become accountable for scams viruses and malware ads then ill stop block9ng the ads.
That stuff is what made me install adblockers in the first place. You want me to go back to simply completely ignoring ads like I used to rather than blocking them entirely? Then legally guarantee you'll never, EVER serve me a malicious ad again. Until you make that promise, the blockers stay.
@@Alloveck THIS!!!!!!!
I paid money for my tv, it's my screen, I decide what's shown on it. If youtube has the freedom to show ads, I have the freedom to block them. It's ridiculous that a company thinks it can force it's audience to watch suspicious ads.
I like how youtube claims the reason for the site suddenly being really slow and failing to load some content entirely is because of ad blockers, but there is no problem when you aren't signed in, only when you are...
If Google stops collecting and selling my personal data I'll stop using an Adblock. They steal from me, I'll steal from them. You get what you give!
Hear hear!
The problem with ads is placement. Tired of listening to a song only to have it stop halfway through a chorus to play an ad, especially when you're listening to an entire album or multiple songs.
RUclips, there's these natural places for ads, right after one song and before another...
Yeah iv tried to explain this stuff to ppl once we got away from broadcast television - " We don't need to interrupt with a cliff hanger anymore for the mandatory as break!"
Instead of pouring out between scenes to give you a moment to reflect they do it into the middle forcing you to have to stress out and try to skip etc.
This is liquefy psychological warfare on attention spans. Not joking, I tried to explain how adverts affect our minds over 20yrs ago when I was able to watch everything I wanted without a single commercial and suddenly my brain started to restructure its subconscious and could easily Feel how colors and other things were affecting it
RUclips could reduce the impact of ad blockers by lowering the cost of their premium subscription and not being so aggressive with ads. They use ads to annoy you into subscribing which drives a lot of people into adblocker workarounds.
Seriously, if premium just blocked ads, I'd pay 5 or 6 dollars a month for that gladly.
As someone who works in I.T: Adblock is freaking mandatory. They don't just block annoying adverts.
Do not underestimate how much data people can gleam from your browser if you don't protect yourself.
Not to Newton this new rise of tool-kiddies out there. That SSH vulnerability is scary shtuff. And The Linux uhm.. the uhm Compression thing vulnerability that almost got released into the wild
Gosh of I could sleep me than an hour av day...
RUclips suing AdBlock is like hackers suing AntiVirus softwares for lost revenue, RUclips's ads are mostly malware links, gactha games, money scams.
Tear gas has a nasty habit of persisting in an environment for months. Even a small amount can make a home completely uninhabitable. I hope the makers realize that and stick to paintballs. Otherwise they can expect to be out of business shortly after shipping the first units and the lawsuits start piling up.
I'm wondering if they will even be able to release the turret before getting shut down due to doing something illegal. For example, if it's not legal to possess tear gas.
Unsure how much liability the company making this has for the user knowingly buying a tear gas spraying device, placing it at home and activating it. Are defense spray companies liable for what the people holding it spray with that?
@@bilateralrope8643 Well fun fact, in the US it is not illegal for private use (some US states may vary), nor for police, just in war everybody agreed to not use such tech on eachother.
Such tech also includes the other highly toxic gases that just burn you from the inside and so on.
also while they might get away with paint, the teat gas I believe most places would consider it a boobytrap which is illegal
@@audi4444player US is weird. It's legal to shoot a stranger knocking on your door but it's illegal to have a paintball turret *inside* your property
@@bilateralrope8643deffo illegal in the UK. Even pepper spray is illegal and that bicycle lock that fights back if it gets cut
One of the less obvious advantages of living in Uzbekistan is that you don't get ads on RUclips. Like, at all, I don't use yt adblockers or alternative clients.
You also dont get ads in Russia.
YT currently cannot take money from Russian companies, so no surprise there.
@@Ph34rNoB33r Russia makes sense with the current circumstances but why are there no ads in Uzbekistan? Do they not allow ads nation wide or something?
@@GameCyborgCh sure they do, and there was a period when I had a ton of them, some were local, but then it suddenly stopped just like it began.
I think yt isn't as lucrative as other platforms for our demographics
Yess you right. I'm in Africa and i just created a vpn server for Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 the ads has stopped. No third-party software or ad blockers. Thank you
RUclips: Ad blockers are bad.
Also RUclips: Here are 7 unskippable ads in a row..
There's 173 comments and RUclips is showing me none of them for this video
I concur.
Same
258 now and only showing 3. hmmmmmm.
🤖
Woah same
Ads in RUclips are out of control. A video with 5 minutes stops for ads almost 3 times, and just one time i can skip. Really annoying. Now i am using ad blocker.
If you don’t want ads, pay. If you don’t want to pay, quit RUclips. You can’t expect the world to give you things for free, people working for you, for free.
Most RUclips videos are sponsored, so the adblocker is only blocking RUclips'd ads. So you end up still watching ads, with or without premium.
@@Simon-L-BPersonally I'm gonna continue using an adblocker until youtube starts paying creators more, and finally do something about all the abuse that happens with the copyright takedown system.
@@Simon-L-BDo you think I have a moral or legal obligation to watch ads? I do not! If the content is not actually behind a paywall then the content is free.
@@Simon-L-B Aside from how invasive and disproportionally long these ads are becoming, demanding someone turn off their adblocker in 2024 is like demanding they turn off their antivirus or firewall. The internet is quite simply not safe to browse. It is my right to keep my device safe, their site is infested with scams and malware ads, let them figure it out. And if they can't then let them put the whole site behind a paywall see how long they last. YT is a freely accessible platform so people access it. There are glaring issues with it so people fix it themselves. YT continues to do nothing to fix these issues but will go to war against the fix. You can't even refresh the main page without some ad waiting to scam or infect you. Makes total sense. [1/2]
If RUclips would stop the BS 30-45 minute ads, maybe I would go premium. But the recent overflow of total crap ads and especially the " Hey you are missing out on the free money from the government" ads are killing us. At this moment it is like standing in line at the grocery store and reading the headlines from the Star and Globe.
You know if you had premium you wouldn’t see those ads right? I don’t see your point.
@@joshgray1410Point is I don't want to support shitty business practices, and won't buy premium until RUclips cleans up their act. I've gotten genuine self pleasure toy ads, and yet RUclipsrs get demonetized for saying "suicide". The double standard is absurd.
@@joshgray1410found the rat that supports crap business practices.
I'm on premium, and I'm starting to get ads. It's likely a bug, and I'll see how long it takes for them to fix it.
yeah and no way we're paying for premium ... youtube would get more than enough money from 20-30 second ad per 30 min. @joshgray1410
And this is why I continue to use Firefox instead of buying into the Chromium monopoly.
Yep!
Do some research.. Firefox when OpFor last decade. I recommend Vivaldi- is for as block Letang built in too and it's perfectly wonderful. This is coming from a 30year n between of the internet
If this is anything like the last time, we'll have maybe 2 days where adblock doesnt work and then it will be business as usual because this is a unstoppable force fighting a immovable object
if RUclips wants us to watch their ads then they shouldn't make ads the most irritating thing ever, & no, I'm not rewarding their practises with RUclips Premium purchases
I wouldn't need an ad blocker RUclips if you didn't have so many scam ads.
And YT goes wild with ads. 15 second unskippable ad on a 17s video?
f*@k google, ive been using an ad blocker for years and never had an ad on a video. and its gonna stay that way!
Yeah. What are ads?
For real, I keep it ad free no matter what I'll have to do
How do you expect RUclips to pay creators?
@@richarddavis2605 I don't expect a thing 😂
@@richarddavis2605Couldn't care less who pays who. I'm not paying anybody anything, and I'm not watching any ads. RUclips and creators and advertisers and everyone else can deal with it. If they all go under oh well.
Bring it on, yt. Alienate your userbase even further.
lol you're not going anywhere
Yes, alienate the people who use your platform for free. Take that Google!
My guy, I don't think you get it. _They don't want you here._ They make money by serving ads or selling premium. If you aren't buying premium and aren't watching ads, they're spending money to send you videos for nothing in return. They'd rather you not be here at all.
@@Tommy50377 Do you think advertisers pay RUclips more or less money if (simple numbers for clarification incoming) 5 people on average watch videos instead of 10? Even leeches are in the statistics, promote channels, upvote and interact with the community to boost value of ads.
Does youtube know that it's ads are just as bad those sketchy websites that people visit to "stream their Linux ISOs"?
They totally do! ;-)
Imagine paying over $1000 dollars for a device to be told what you can and cant install while also getting ads & subscription app fees shoved in your face at all turns. Innovation is dead more like product taxation.
Thats why my ReVanced stopped working a few days ago
I just updated it, it worked
I use the extended version for sponsor segment blocking
They do fix it rather quickly, I hope ya got the revanced manager, that's somewhat better and still functioning and updating. For tablets & TVs get Smarttube.
It's working for me
it got an update within like 6 hours lool
3:07 “Brazilian woman arrested for taking corpse to co-sign bank loan. She knew he was dead”. Alright
Some real "Weekend at Bernie's" nonsense right there.
A lot of RUclipsrs i watch often experience demonetisation issues. So until RUclips actually pays their money cows half decently so that they stop asking me for support on other platforms, im not watching 10 ads per video
Not to mention even if the video gets demonitized (Or they simply don't monitize it) RUclips STILL slaps ads on them and collects the money either way.
@@SilvaDreams Yup. I have a channel and it's not monetized and they do make money my videos.
"noooo... turn off adblock... support the creators you watch... "
*me getting 3 consequtive ads on a demonetized video*
as soon as i saw a video about why google doesn't go after ad blockers awhile back, that's when they first started going after ad blockers lol, and that video made some good points about why it's detrimental to do so for them. i feel like they saw that video and just went "oh yeah?? we'll show you that we do what we want"
When RUclips stops platforming malicious ads, scams, and spyware I'll stop using an adblocker.
RUclips adverts are perfectly targeted. As a middle aged man, I really need to know about tampons, diapers, eyeliner and bikini wax. Well... maybe those things will be important when I'm in my 80s and I become a transvestite. Also, the last time I was forced to turn off my ad blocker, the first ad I got was for an ad blocker. Well done RUclips.
It's an honour to have read your post Mr. future President!!!
@@GregMoress - actual LOL... :)
They demonetize most channels for absolutely no reason so who cares if users prefer to run adware or not.
I remember SOPA trying to outlaw DNS. I am skeptical that lawmakers have enough of a clue to do anything reasonable on net neutrality.
The ad wars are finally getting serious
Meh, they are still barely affecting anything.
@@subaru4920
because how would they damage human rights the strongest right we all got
We want to use adblockers - Is our path not youtube
because is close sounding like apple in the past greed comes first
is effecting them more because the one thing is even better than theirs their plan
free will
We need a round of antitrust. RUclips especially needs to be broken up.
Create an "ad blocker" that speeds up an ad video by 20,000% and auto click the skip. You don't see it and the ad still technically ran. Win, win.
The ad plays so fast you never see it but the ad did run.
RUclips would simply send the video in small packets instead of a full buffer. So you would need to wait before it even starts for it to load everything.
Can you imagine the network implications of your implementation of a streaming service?
Works great until advertisers catch on, and get pissed that they're paying RUclips to serve ads no one is seeing.
All I will say is this already exists.
@@Tommy50377So what happens then? Advertisers stop paying RUclips. Fine by me.
The PaintCam Eve device seems interesting, but would it also be considered a boobytrap? Pretty sure I've read that setting boobytraps up on your property, even if it is to protect your home/belongings, is illegal. Only a matter of time for one of those cameras to misfire on a delivery driver or random visitor to the home.
I believe the intent has to be to harm for it to be considered a booby-trap and it may also need to be concealed or camouflaged to count which could be a hard sell when the device is out in the open. The tear gas version might be a tough sell but the one that shoots UV paintballs to mark targets for Cops to deal with would be no different than the Dye packs banks use. Either one would be a big issue still if they ever activate on an innocent person. I would never install one of these outside for that reason but inside I could see if being very useful to help defend the home when your away or as a first attempt to scare the intruder off before they enter further and have to find out the hard way that the next gun they'll meet shoots lead balls instead of paint or pepper.
I don't use adblock on youtube but I have noticed the quality of ads has really gone downhill recently. So many scams, MLMs and get-rich-quick schemes. And today I've gotten multiple ads for services only available in foreign countries.
I really have no problem with RUclips showing are as long as they are at the beginning. Right now I get interruptions about every three minutes or so. Even worse is having to watch ads when you are already watching a video that is essentially an ad!
AHHH!🙉
The youtube TOS is an agreement between the end user and Google. Ad blocker providers are in no way bound by that agreement.
It's the API tos not the normal
good news: the ad blockers never were bound by that either
They say ads are crucial to support creators but it only makes up an insignificant portion of their income 😮💨
Funny thing, The total number of adblock users spikes every time RUclips tries to get rid of them. This makes them less money when they inevitably fail. They never learn.
youtube’s vocabulary is literally just “ 🤑 “
RUclips has also adopted the strategy of pretending that you can actually skip and ad at some point by showing a countdown timer with the skip ad button greyed out. Well, then the timer gets to zero, the ad just keeps playing half the time and the button either stays greyed out, or allows you to click on it only to keep the ad playing.
I can't wait for the "premium with ads" to come out smh
Firefox on Android ftw
Hell no. Samsung Internet is best
Word, this thing slaps
Why on Earth would you use anything other than ReVanced on Android?
Samsung internet is a chromium based browser that doesn't support desktop extensions like ublock. You have to pick one of their partner ad blockers which are not nearly as good and sometimes require paid third party software. Samsung internet has some advantages, great dark mode great widget... You care about ad blocking it's pretty dismal.
Ytdlnis Even lets you download just sections of videos and save them. Again unless you're running out of storage or something there's really no reason why you shouldn't have quite a few options.
Ever since I started getting ads that imply these companies are accessing my medical history, I feel like I have a moral and ethical obligation to block all ads.
RUclips fails to realize that Adblockers are like Hydras. Cut off one head, two more grow back.
All they've done is further incentive Adblockers to become better. They're fighting a losing war. It's an endless game of cat and mouse.
I saw the Boston Dynamics video of new Atlas before this. Is Boston Dynamics trolling with us? That shit is scary.
Bro i am telling you it’ll be all hell the day one of these 'innovations’ kills someone by mistake.
[ puts on a tin hat ] they keep saying dont worry, but how hard is it to mechanically alter the toy trigger to an actual gun trigger, even if its all wires a receiver for a mechanical pull isnt impossible.
Its the most mechanically efficient way to get up
The more RUclips tries to crack down on this, the more the 5% of desktop viewers that watch with adblock will retaliate...
So I just contacted RUclips Support - because I have a Premium account and have been experiencing these buffering issues (adblock disabled) - They offered a two month refund to my account - But THEN they cancelled my subscription on the spot - which I had already paid for. What a bunch of scum
Meanwhile the embed API used by the games I play does not even support adverts.
6:26 200,000 Kilowatt = 200 Megawatt. Idk why it bothered me, but you could have used megawatts to shorten it to something more graspable. It's like referring to 1 GB as 1024 MB.
Press released in kilowatts to make it sound like it's more power than it is
Same power as 6 AU falcons at idle

I can't get enough of the sfx 🤣🤣🤣
if they made a youtube "premium" version that was just the ad blocking and was cheap more people would jump onboard. as it stands it's far too pricey for things I don't want and won't use.

They know what they are doing when they keep throwing "creators" under the bus.
If the creators are in a bad spot, that's on youtube, not the consumer and I'm certain they will care little-to-nothing about creators when their AI needs a fine dataset or when they get another ToS violator like sssniperwolf rolling in the engagement away from competitors.
remember when "premium features" used to be free and available to all before they locked them behind a subscription gate? I remember.
RUclips has the world's worst bitrates. Literal, corn sites have better bitrates.
It's not a culture. It's a boycott. Google promised to only show me personalized ads. That's why I allowed them to collect my personal information. Read my emails, look at my Borwser history, and know all my purchases. In all the years I've been using Google's services, there have been exactly ZERO ads that matched my personal interest or it was just the repetition of what I've already bought. There's just no value to me in watching ads. AND I watch hours of videos that match my interests, all of which also contain ads. So, what the fuck is the problem? I'm aware of yt's CEOs' claim that they don't have enough money. But when I look at their stock prices. Then I highly doubt it. Maybe you just change your perspective and try to put yourself in other people's shoes?
RUclips says there are 318 comments but I only see 3 comments?
315 spam comments blocked. Working as intended.
Watching this on a 3rd party app with ad-blocking. So far, no buffering or error messages.
I’m a premium member and I’m always getting error codes, so maybe RUclips is deteriorating and they are just preemptively covering their bases.
They won't slow down certain traffic, but they are allowed to speed up certain traffic... Which is artificially slowing down certain traffic by not allowing it the same speed as other traffic...
What is this stupidity? Net neutrality shouldn't say "don't slow down" but instead should say "no traffice should be discriminated against." This is just the administration trying to say they restored NN. The original taking out of NN and the backlash was saying "it's not a fast lane. It's putting everyone else in the slow lane."
I’ve recently had an issue with RUclips where I have turned off all ad personalisation. There are some certain topics that are sensitive and I dislike, and Google seems to agree about that fact too and allows you to hide certain genres of ads such as Alcohol, Gambling, Parenthood, Dating, etc. However disabling these ad topics and keeping ad personalisation off are mutually exclusive.
Meaning you have to hand over all your personal and ad tracking data in order to disable these topics.
I would happily pay for RUclips premium if they didn't artificially inflate the price for my country and force you to buy a subscription for 6. Why cant I just get a personal subscription at the same price as my neighbouring country?
I might stop using RUclips at all, take that Google :DDDDDD
That's probably what they want, running costs etc, but as long as the feeling is mutual it's no loss to you really. At best it's a mere shadow of it's former self these days.
You wont
You might?
@@alandjerryeah and there is no real competition, and people
wont switch platforms just for one of their subscriptions.
Pretty sure that's in their favor since they save on bandwidth costs that don't give them a monetary return.
Ah I see TechLinked continues its bootlicking for RUclips.... I guess some things never change. At least it's fitting that Vessi is your sponsor, they've got all the footwear you could possibly need to get down and lap at
what they don't get is that we are so bombarded by advertising that we take absolutely no notice of it anymore. It's in one ear and out the other. The problem is, that we are paying for obscene amounts of money spent on advertising through the products we buy. Producers don't care how much money they throw away on advertising as they just put up the price of products to cover it. It's one reason why home-brand products are so much cheaper. Not because the quality is necessarily any less, but because once you take the cost of advertising off the product, the price drops significantly.
I would be more inclined to allow ads if they actually vetted advertisers. The majority of ads on the platform are filled with scandalous, and sometimes blatantly illegal, content (pyramid schemes, miracle scams, fraud, disinformation, etc). It is unbearable to deal with, and I refuse to support them.
Gonna be honest, I have been paying RUclips premium for a couple of years and I’m never going back.
I mean, ads are the biggest issue but there are more functions I literally use daily that I only get with premium.
Just wish there was a way to share premium with my wife without having to use the same account.
There's a family premium that can extend up to 5 separate accounts.
You Just have to get the family plan, that’s what I do
Premium and yt music here
get the familly subscription and you will have up to 6 people.
im a disabled vet that already cant afford to eat 3 meals a day so i can feed my kids. i cant spend extra money that i already dont have.
Here's how stupid this all is. When youtube was actively trying to stop people from using an adblocker, forcing lots of people to turn it off or risk having their accounts banned, one of the ads I kept getting was for you guessed it, an adblocker.
"I bet we can speed up the process by sending our legislators AI generated videos of them robbing banks."
But...aren't they already doing that? And aren't they BOASTING about doing that? This would have no effect on any of our politicians.
But how else will I find out that I’m “stupid” for not participating in the $6400 scam? I keep reporting and the scams keep coming so YT must be complicit at this point.
Buffering isn't a deterrent when seeing an ad would still be buffering, but now with an annoying scam rather than just peace and quiet
The have the audacity to not pay us individually for tracking us with cookies, and be mad for not being able to feed us with ads😂
The fact with youtube is that they try saying that w/o ads you're harming content creators, yet they demonetize them and still put the ads.
And also with all the data they collect from people they are embarassingly bad in the choice of ads: I'm a 19 yo guy, and yet they try sell me cars, pets food (i dont have a pet neither i'm planning getting one), industrial machinery or stuff like that. Like cmon, google probably knows me better than my family, at least put some decent ads...
Good, I hate it when my ad watching session gets interrupted by short stretches of actual content.
RUclips's stance wouldn't be so bad if they were capable of distinguising between an adblocker like ABP, and antimalware addons like Malwarebyte Guard.
As an experiment, I have ABP installed but disabled on youtube sitewide, and Malwarebyte Guard's adblock toggle turned off so it's only active for malware and scams.
I still get dinged by the same "adblockers aren't allowed on youtube" but reloading the page after their incompetent message will either load the video correctly or play a single ad before then proceeding to the video.
Even an honest attempt to comply leaves you in the same situation as ignoring youtube's demand, so why bother?
The minute that YT tries to yell at me for using an ad block, even though I have premium, ill cancel premium and just watch other streaming site from now on
