Why on youtube? 😓 It’s like driving a hummer with bumper stickers saying you hate big oil.

Ah, just run things through a pi-hole, run sponsorblock, and it’s only costing youtube for you to watch it. I enjoy costing them.

Lol at using the word “just” in your sentence, that can be out of reach for many users here.

Alternatively for less techy people. Just install grayjay: https://grayjay.app/

Tubular and Freetube are two other options. Tubular is a fork of NewPipe with sponsorblock and such added.

Just wanted to add some options for those that may not like GrayJay for whatever reason.

Have you been able to get pi-hole to block Google ads? Mine always fails to update that blocklist.

I’ll be honest, my kid got pissed at any ads coming through so he updated the blocklists. No ads come through. Here’s the list of what is running:

Fuck Subscriptions

!fucksubscriptions@lemmy.world

Create post

Naming and shaming all “recurring spending models” where a one-time fee (or none at all) would be appropriate and logical.

Expect use of strong language.

Follow the basic rules of lemmy.world and common sense, and try to have fun if possible.

No flamewars or attacking other users, unless they’re spineless corporate shills.

Note that not all subscriptions are awful. Supporting your favorite camgirl creator or Lemmy server on Patreon is fine. An airbag with subscription is irl Idiocracy-level dystopian bullshit.

New community rule: Shilling for cunty corporations, their subscriptions and other anti-customer practices may result in a 1-day ban. It’s so you can think about what it’s like when someone can randomly decide what you can and can’t use, based on some arbitrary rules. Oh what, you didn’t read this fine print? You should read what you’re agreeing to.
