Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel

We’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 Formats

Not 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

Ublock Origin for desktops, RVX for Android phones, SmartTube for AndroidTVs.

You can setup each one in two minutes following the instructions on the download pages.

I use unblock on Firefox mobile. What are ads?

[–] Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Me with 15 different ad blockers, 2 VPNs, and a DNS so anti ads it could be the Hitler to adverts everywhere:

[–] bdjegifjdvw@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I despise ads, but there's a way to not see ads and also support the content you're watching: pay for premium. If I can pay for an ad free experience I will because services aren't free (unless they're FOSS). Now if I can't pay to get rid of ads, then I will block viciously with all means at my disposal

[–] Jumbie@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 days ago

Wait till you hear about people paying Hulu to show them ads.

Just install Firefox and Ublock Origin already, seriously its not difficult.

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 1 week ago (6 children)

TV ads. Some brands are too annoying to find a fix. The android box thingies I've heard of tho.

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You have a TV? Perhaps right next to your landline phone?

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yes.... You got access to my camera or smth lol

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 1 points 5 days ago

Oh dear, I was just joking. I... My condolences.

[–] scottmeme@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 week ago

Smart tube on Android TV for YouTube videos. Had ad block and sponsor block.

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

So then you add one step: Plug in PC then install Firefox and Ublock. Still easy.

The 0 second skippable ad:

Me using uBlock Origin and Firefox so they don't win:

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 week ago

Me, just using (re)vanced for 10 years and not seeing a single youtube ad in that time.

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Who, in 2025, doesn't either use a PiHole, adblocker in browser, and/or just mute and change out the window while the ad is playing?? It's crazy people still voluntarily want to be exposed to consumerist propaganda.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 15 points 1 week ago

Most people, actually. Crazy, i agree.

I accidentally fired up YT on my unused (and non-ublocked) Vivaldi browser a few days ago and... holy crap.

I don't see how people can actually stand that shit.

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

One of my coworkers uses youtube without any adblockers. I've tried convincing him, even showing him how to install one.

He says "too much effort".

I don't bother anymore.

Ads make me boycott products. Unfortunately I'm still a consumer because I use Ublock Origin and Firefox...

The worst part about youtube is that it TRIES TO LIE TO YOU by suggesting that ANY AND I MEAN ANY problem is due to your adblock (its not) it literally puts a little shitty caption that thanks god gets swatted with the fury of a thousand gaping black holes by UBLOCK ORIGIN GET IT DOWNLOAD IT SPREAD ITS SHINING SUN LIKE GLORY

Just turn the device off. They don't have customer support, but they sure as fuck have metrics. At the start of the ad, turn the device completely off.

At one point, Google toyed with activating the front-facing camera during ads. They were going to detect that you were watching the ad to make it count.

It's a constant war between adblockers, the browser, and youTube at this point. This morning once again youTube started lagging and stuttering in one browser, turn off adblocker, the lag is gone.

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago

I deal with the lag just to spite them.

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I put my fingers in my ears, close the eyes and go "allallallalaala".

Stubbornness is a feature, not a bug.
