I hate advertisements so much.
This is the main reason I don't have cable. I couldn't wrap my brain around the concept of paying for content full of ads.
I paid for youTube premium but I'm about to give up on that too since you may skip the inserted ads there are still all of the sponsors. And I can't be mad at creators for wanting to make some money but I really need to escape these ads.
Because ads *work* -- most people assume they don't but they do. They change you.
@futurebird i know there's some extension that skips ad reads in videos, i forget what it's called though. i always just skip past those lol
fuchsiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
@goaty @futurebird it's called https://sponsor.ajay.app/, really works incredibly well. People crowdsource the timestamps for ad-reads and such, and the extension can automatically skip forward. A lot of the time you don't even notice, it's just a cut to the next part of the video
