It might be because he said if I'm okay with blocking ads I'm okay with rape.

If you're complaining that you are not getting a service anymore that you have to pay for now that means it's worth paying for if you're complaining.

People who are afraid and insecure resort to ad-hominems instead of logic.

When you lose arguments you begin lashing out at stuff off topic.

For not being the same person, they sure jump to the exact same rhetoric rather quickly. Just saying.

I remember WoodenRook from 261.

He's not a gimmicky poster like this Yawn_Master2 guy.

Because he uses alts for that, particularly when he'd get suspended.

EDIT: Also, I'd push back on that somewhat. "This is off topic" is a rather blatant WoodenRook gimmick. He's one of those "debate me, bro" types that starts to go "This is off topic" and "I'll report you" if you don't stick to his extremely narrow argument. And then he ends up getting suspended because he can't help himself.

For the 2nd time. I don't have alts on this website. It's a video game forum. Any forum really. Alts are stupid.

If you continue to attack me I will report you for trolling.

Actually you know what... Blocked.

I'd be more than happy to whitelist YouTube if the ads were side banners, and not in the fucking video.

YouTube gets its content for free.

Why not me?
Content with ads is free. Thats why ads exist. For free content.

It does cost quite a lot of money to host the millions of videos on YouTube as well. But nah, better off blocking those 15 second ads or not getting Premium like some of us do.

YouTube receives $29bn per year in revenue.

Exactly. It's not my responsibility to ensure their business model is maximising their profits.

Revenue, not profit. Pretty sure YouTube ain't making profit, but I doubt that would change even if nobody blocked ads.

Not defending them or anything, UBO and Firefox forever, but it's not cheap hosting the hundred or so hours with of video that gets uploaded to the site every minute.

Since the big YouTubers would lose their shit over having to pay a hosting fee about the only path forward is for them to start locking all HD content behind premium or disable the options if you're using adblock.

Well, they don't disclose those figures, so we don't know for certain.

Personally, I doubt they are making a loss.

They are all ad free YouTube for free. Maybe I should make a topic letting people know about these great options.

Thing is YouTube is almost certainly working on ways to break functionally for all those.

LMAO you got popped for comparing bypassing ads to rape, that's not "complete you know what", it's completely justified and fair for such a nutjob take. Frankly you should have been banned entirely TBQH.

Well many of you dont have to imagine, you already feel that way lol. All the skilled labor, hard work, and infrastructure that goes into building that amazing platform and for some reason a lot of you feel like you own that. What about YouTube do you own or what do you do in your day to day life to get the service for free?

Remembering the days when it was 100% free, with no need to buffer.

You'd hit parties (well, not you) and people would just deck out a playlist from Youtube for music, whilst bringing up stupid videos and memes for the lulz as they smash down beers and other stuff.

There's a lot of people out there not satisfied with the enshittification of YouTube, it isn't entitlement, it's deprivation of services for them.

Nope I believe it. You just didn't understand it so compared me to being okay with rape.
