Yeah, and they should be. Like a third of the time that I pause a video, it’s because I want to take a better look at the screen. Can’t do that when ads are shoved in there.
And then there’s just the fact that it’s offensive how much they are shoving ads at people.
If you think people are stubborn for sticking with Youtube and Reddit, just think how many people cling to the belief that customers control corporations by voting with their money.
Meanwhile, me on NewPipe:
I’m gonna try out tilvids. At least they’re trying.
Redditors will complain about everything without actually doing anything. The API debacle should be enough evidence. So many said big words and then never left, you would’ve thought Reddit would go under with all the words said. And now Reddit is doing fine and made more money than ever

Do you mean when thousands of redditors, including a lot of top content creators, suddenly left? That’s redditors doing something.
What I find crazy is that they decided to pay for the API to keep using it with the few clients that operate that way, they are effectively paying for using Reddit SMFH.
Why would one even conceive that idea if you can have an ad-less experience of Reddit in desktop (Ublock Origin), iOS and Android (sideload) still.
Yeah, but I chose the iOS and Android clients every day (Apollo and Sync IMHO).
