YouTube is WHY I have adblockers to this day. I was Ok with the ads at the beginning and end. When they started cramming 2-3 ads in the middle of a 10 minute video, that’s when I started looking for a solution.
Their greed is why they make $0 from me many years later.
I think it’s rich they aren’t happy with people using them when they’re the ones that made the standard viewing experience awful in the first place.
Hmm, I’ll be running Windows 10 after EOL then. I won’t pay for Adobe subscriptions, I won’t pay for ANY monthly subscriptions. I will license lifetime software with 1 year of updates but that software works after the update phase has passed.
You painted a perfect picture. A wordsmith I am not and loved your version better.
All of us on Lemmy collectively can’t make a fingernail dent into the problem. We have no power to stop it. If we did, we’re labeled terrorists against the economy.
Your last paragraph is precisely why I deleted all of my niche topic content that had a ton of votes. I didn’t want Reddit making SEO money with ads on my content since the service I used to post it was being forced to shut down.
I haven’t had a Reddit account since 1 month after Apollo shut down. Deleted everything.
I do visit still, using bookmarks, to the old subdomain, with Adblock.
I can’t believe people on here use the official Reddit app that’s beyond trash. I visit Reddit once a week and it’s to the “old” subdomain with an adblocker.
Stop rewarding corporations for their piss poor behavior and decisions.
I’m fat. I saw a rib roast at first.
