    Christ, premium light is still fucking 8 dollars a month and you don’t even get rid of ads. The greed is fucking astounding.

    I’ll stick to an adblocker, dickheads.

      I truly, truly don’t get it.

      Ublock Origin + Firefox still works.

      Works just fine.

      Been that way for over a decade.

      Yes, if you’re more privacy concerned (and there are good reasons to be) you can use some other browser, something like NewPipe, or Invidious…

      But I just don’t get why any normie, ever, goes for YT Premium…

        Ublock Origin + Firefox

        YouTube started detecting and complaining about that yesterday (for me).

      Newpipe is all I have. I signed up for a couple creators patreon to support those I really like. Fuck Google. They are here for the investors bottom line not our shit. But people just want their shit and it perpetuates this behavior. My friend said he pays to support the creators he likes. He supports the giant corporation holding these creators ransom. Just send them money directly. Use new pipe or whatever. Quit supporting this shit and let the whole thing die until we realize there has to be a better way.
