As you know, I'm fellow KiwiFarmer I Love Beef, and today's thread I'm going to talk about is the topic of Youtube beginning to ramp up its anti-ad blocker frequencies.
For some, tl;dr backstory on my stance with Youtube, much like a lot of hipster faggotry and Silicon Valley and pozzed South California, they are all a bunch of pussies. Youtube once had Viacom by the balls ages ago around 2008 regarding copyright, but since sold out to guzzle down megacorporate jizz for pennies on end. So as you see, that all rolled down hill to where we are all now.
Youtube recently has been on a massive crackdown on users and browsers that use adblocker programs (or apps), likely inspired by Netflix cracking down on usersharing and upping its prices, which has stupidly gotten its viewer base to subscribe more and more. From personal experience, Chrome users were the first ones targeted (it's google after all), and since then anyone using non-Chrome browsers have been typically harrassed with anti-adblocker notifications. Recently, Youtube has now implemented a three video watch limit strike rule for browsers with anti-adblocker programs, and with the coming of Halloween, I wouldn't put it past them doing so to be strategic to get people to access their movie library.
I've created this topic because well, fuck Youtube and fuck its penny pinching and stupid backass Hollywood stool monkey life support whipping boy fuckery. I stopped allowing ads on Youtube especially because of it showcasing commercials of Purge II back in the day (fuck those pearlclutching breads & circus movies), and along with me pursuing the everlasting goal of boycotting Amazon for being inhumane employers, why not do the same?
Thankfully, I'm old and I am reliant on old media to pass my time on this existence. I've made this thread as a sort of guide because, don't mind me downing the blackpill on this subject, I don't have much faith in Youtube at this point, and with how things are going regarding things online, I think it's going to get much more bleaker from here on out. Wars are breaking out, the economy's in a squeeze, you don't think they're shitting their pants at this rate? Cutting out all of that, if they're going to get this assy about ad revenue from people who don't watch their monkeys dance, I'm gonna leave, plain and simple.
So, with that declaration being said, fuck Youtube. I'm going to try to make a guide about this shit in the meanwhile.
