Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’re here for laughs, not fights.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults

Rule 2: No Forbidden FormatsNot every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.

Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

Subscription models are the basis of technofuedalism.

well they have to make money somehow, do you think we can live in a ad-free world? I agree ad's suck but if i can pay a monthly fee to skip ads in youtube or keep using this workaround or that workaround until it gets shutdown, ill just buy the subscription.

You're a fuckin' mark, mate. Shh now, the adults are trying to save civilization from itself.

whats a mark? you ok? you seem angry for no good reason at me.

[–] cycadophyta@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If that works for you, I understand. Do what ya gotta do. I would just be really bothered by letting YouTube bully me into paying for their service. Its coercive to make the ads so unbearable that you have to either suffer, buy the subscription, or find a workaround. I'm on team find a workaround, but that's also bc I have the tech know how to find alternatives.

If you ever get curious, try out Firefox with the ublock origin extension. Alternatively, you can try privacy focused browsers like duck duck go or librewolf. There are other ad block methods, but more complicated.

I mean, personally, I started signing up for creators pateron where they post the videos Ad-Free and sometimes in podcast form, and i prefer that, but im not going to switch browsers cuz i like syncing my info between my phone and laptop, and i've given up on going a libre route, you just loose out on so much.
