So today I watched probably about 5 hours of youtube content and I think I only ran into about 2 ads during the entire experience I really don’t experience that many ads on youtube anymore and I have turned off my ad blockers and such explicitly for Youtube since I wanted to give at least a little bit of ad revenue to the content creators that I watched at the time that I turned it off. Yet I continuously hear that people have been having problems with too many ads and that ads are ruining the experience on youtube. How many ads do people who watch without ad blocker get on a video such that it’s seemingly ruining the experience?
Why? Youtube’s official domain isn’t cancer to me. I see no reason to use any external thing.
Just need some extensions like uBlock and it works alright.
If you’re privacy aware, or use the Tor browser you’ll quickly see why it’s so cancer. The site is also bloated as fuck, and requires you to waste about ~300 mb just to watch a video
Bonus, Invidious has no ads
