utube really hates ad blockers
so first it was the video limit before it fully prevented you from watching, that passed, then the bastards at ♥♥♥♥-tube tried to scare me with some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ message and now because i got ad blocker on, the website has been slow/laggy for me, pages were slow and comments via a live stream were laggy too. so i turned it off and it works fine. wtf utube, wtf!

They're doing everything they can to get their revenue. I don't know how far it's progressed, but awhile back they were talking about ads imbeded in the video itself like how twitch handles it.

YouTube also added ads that appear when you pause videos on mobile for some reason.

Where does this revenue even come from? Showing me ads is 100% useless, I'm never going to click on them. And what's more, I'm going to hate those companies in the ads and avoid them.

The ultimate irony is a majority of the ads that I see are for youtube adblockers.

Well, if you see them, then you should really get one. So I guess it sort of makes sense?
Ublock Origin not working?

Seems to be malfunctioning.

Maybe that's just the authorities spying on me.

Theyve been going overboard all year. Ad blockers, alt apps, VPNs... You'd think the company was going bankrupt.
browse with brave

Beats me.
But it must be doing something otherwise they wouldn't be pushing it so hard.

I'll only remove my adblock IF

-They remove all nsfw & miliaceous ads
-They limit the amount of ads per video
-They stop harvesting everything possible from me bogging down my network
