I absolutely understand why YouTube is doing this. But as long as I have a free, legal and easy way to go around it, you better believe I'm doing it. And when Brave stops working, I'll move to Firefox. --- https://i.ibb.co/2vRbyC0/Rosa-6.png "Friends don't let friends watch The Big Bang Theory" - mogar002 ... Copied to Clipboard!

I don't know where the cut off is exactly but I'd rather watch a 30 second ad than 90 seconds of black screen. That's how Hulu got me to turn it off for them back in the day.

Why do people expect to get everything for free? I don't really care if the company is being paid or not. The last thing I want is annoying ads being shoved in my face. We already have to deal with it everywhere else. Is it wrong? Maybe. Do I care? Well if you're shoving the latest shampoo in my face purely to boost consumerism, then no I don't care. --- https://imgur.com/a/6KBlCUI https://imgur.com/TpM5kyb https://imgur.com/ZzXmr8X https://imgur.com/a/9svV8Gn https://imgur.com/a/vTiJpz3 https://imgur.com/a/j8PIo7A ...
