    Homie missed the point. using ublock and sponsorblock is equal to petty theft. Disliking a company doesn’t make it morally right to steal from them.

        Oh baby, you don’t understand what you just said, do you?

        Nobody forces you to watch ads. Close YouTube, don’t look back, email content creators to have em send ad free video links directly to you.

        Watching ads is your obligation as consumer, if you decide not to pay for their removal.

          It’s not my obligation and I’m never going to stop because controlling what appears on my screen, is my legal right ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

          If people decide to pay for something they have no legal obligation to because they got brainwashed, that only makes them suckers

            You are mixing two things. Nobody can just blast ads on your phone without your consent. But you did give consent by accessing YouTube.

        No, I’m not here to defend Alphabet. I’m just saying it’s equal to stealing groceries at Wallmart. They request payment, you deny. Just because it’s so much easier to do on YouTube doesn’t mean it’s any more justifiable.
