If some of you guys want even more of your brains to be colonized by ads, go ahead. I refuse. We get enough ads on TV, on the radio, in podcasts, just stepping outside, and WITHIN YouTube videos. I don't need ads on top of ads that are longer than and interrupt the actual videos at unpredictable intervals. We wouldn't put up with that in any other medium, yet we're expected to do so on YouTube and are expected to pay to avoid that.
There's too much ad saturation in this world already, they're toxic vampires that prey on our existing insecurities and actively create new ones. I do what I can to reduce that exposure for myself at least and it makes my life better. I'm not going to reward any company, government or entity for trying to insert more ads into our lives or asking us to pay for the privilege of avoiding them.
I gotta be righteous, I gotta be me, I gotta be conscious, I gotta be free, I gotta be able, I gotta attack, I gotta be stable, I gotta be black.
