That's when my family asked me to set up adblockers.

It used to be a single 30 second ad but skippable.

It's now 2 ads skippable, then ads randomly injected into a video. A ten min video can have twelve ads. Defenders say "Oh the content maker sets those features."

Of which I say, "Bet. Gonna block them, find a new revenue stream because the next stage is pirating your shit."

Also i love how people act as if Ads aren't brainwashing bullshit lies. Marketing only exists to make you click buy, they don't care about any other effect. Misinformation? Who cares, unhealthy habits? All good. Oh my goodness your blocking lies? Sooo unethical
