Third party websites fix that problem. Also why are you looking up videos. Call emergency services.
Sorry Gran, EMS is 20 minutes out. Hope you’ve been practicing holding your breath.
YouTube is not Wikipedia or fucking EMS
As true as that is, in an emergency people don’t always have time to seek out professional help, and it ain’t like calling 911 will magically make an ambulance appear in 30 seconds.
Also, the Institute Of Human Anatomy actually has a YouTube channel…
Like even if there were no ads you’d learn how to help in a timely manner.
“What’s up guys! It’s me, your boy, MikeyMedic here with another video of a standard first aid technique, the Abdominal Thrusts!! Now the Abdominal Thrust is a standard first aid trick that is used to help someone when they’re choking 5 minutes on things you can choke on Speaking of food to choke on, our sponsor this week is FoodBox! 3 minutes of FoodBox ad Abdominal Thrusts used to be called the Heimlich Maneuver! Henry Heimlich was… 5 minute history on the Heimlich Maneuver and now I’m going to perform an abdominal thrust on my friend, Someguy420! Check out his videos on another 2 minutes for a partner plug and then 1 minute on how to perform abdominal thrusts And that’s how you perform an abdominal thrust! Be sure to check out my other videos. 3 minutes on other video content, liking and subscribing and hitting that bell.”
Abdominal Thrust is a standard first aid trick
I would have switched off and gone to find another video at this point.
should have been an ad blocker it’s 2023.
Well I’m sure everybody here on Lemmy already uses ublock. The rest of society doesn’t really know all these methods
Adblocking on mobile is much harder than adblocking on desktop, and if you’re in an emergency situation like the one described, you’re more likely on your phone.
Personally I use ReVanced, which incorporates adblocking as well as giving you Premium features like background playing & PIP (while also keeping the benefits of being signed in to YT, like using your playlists, comments, etc.). But if I were an iPhone user I don’t know how I would watch YouTube.
Revanced is complicated because you first need to find a compatible YouTube version (old version) and download it’s APK. Then, you need to uninstall YouTube, apply Revanced to the downloaded APK and then install it Only to discover the Cast button was removed by Revanced. When you start over, deselect “remove cast button from video player”, you still end up without it.
I can’t even cast to SmartTubeNext on AndroidTV…
Way too complex and too limiting for 99.99% of YouTube watchers.
Hey Moron, maybe stop using YouTube as an emergency instruction service…
