God I wouldn’t mind if the ads weren’t so fucking cancer. Like I have streaming with ads and dumb Liberty Bibberty or whatever is fine.
But YouTube, it constantly runs gambling scams and then rolls into a 90 minute “ad” podcast about some bull shit

I just noticed they removed the button to report ads as inappropriate.
because ads are never inappropriate!

I get SO MANY ads for dick pills. So many. How do they even get away with that?!
Replying to @AmyAye@nord.pub
I would mind. I will never not mind. No ads, all or nothing.

Even with the consequences of popularized tracking?

I will never pay for youtube while sponsor block is not part of the default app and downvoted are visible.
Frankly, I find most YouTube content to be super obnoxious, so I would not pay for it anyway. I already barely ever use YouTube outside of trailers and music videos.

YouTube can’t have sponser block as that is not part of YouTube.
