I blocked your ads because I DON'T WANT TO FUCKING SEE THEM.

Advertisers are some of the most entitled fucking people in the entire world, thinking they have a God-given right to demand everyone watch their obnoxious bullshit. They know people hate their ads. They know nobody wants to see them. They know they're imposing them on us against our will. But they keep fucking doing it.

Joke's on you, though. I can just use a third party converter to download the videos I really want. If I use Google to search Youtube I don't even have to go to the site, much less watch an ad.

I have both uBlock Origin and NanoDefender installed and wipe my cookies regularly and I've never had a problem with it. It's actually jarring to see YouTube on someone else's computer or phone and see all the horrendous ads

I sometimes forget that I'm already skipping that many ads on Youtube. I can't even imagine how obnoxious they are if they're any worse than the stuff I have to see at waiting rooms and in line in places.
