YouTube's Ad Blocker Crackdown Is Getting Harder to Dodge

More like just get off my lawn. Constant bitching and moaning about completely optional services and spending a few dollars to use them is getting to me.

Yes, Lemmy is free, yes the Internet is historically free (because of ad driven content), but Christ things actually do cost money folks and services have a right to charge what people are willing to pay.

If you don't like it... Don't use YouTube, seek out an alternative, build an alternative, tell your creators you'll only watch them on PeerTube (which probably won't work because they want to make money) or floatplane or whatever.

This isn't some crusade for Google. I'm just sick of this crap being in my feed and all these comments. This isn't "technology", it's one service charging money 🙄
