@ShadowJonathan Why yes, I do use adblock and am proud of it.
I don't actually use sponsor block because some youtubers are actually kind of tactful. but, those are few and far between, and I drop any channel that takes sponsors and just does straight ad reads. -
@ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt ...and this is HOW advertisers ended up deciding to learn how to BEAM ADS straight into our DREAMS!! (Futurama reference btw)... they hated how we would try to make their jobs impossible, and good luck avoiding an ad in your dreams

@ShadowJonathan @Natsura ...but an ad is basically "Here is a product/service that is not competitive by itself. It only works because we tell people to buy it"
Btw. the best handymen are the ones with the worst looking cars that can afford to get gigs just by personal refferal.

@ShadowJonathan I've never understood why people who are given the choice tell Google to schlurp up more info so the company can present "better-targeted" advertisements. If I have to endure ads, I want them to be for things I have no interest in whatsoever.

Bill Hicks had something to say about that.

@ShadowJonathan I rarely buy the products, never actually. I love the marketing strategy of commercials and there are some pretty phenomenal ones out there right now.
@ShadowJonathan @Beachbum It is pretty complicated for me. I actually would not mind the occasional static ad on websites. Like advertising an electronics store on a hardware hacking site, a car ad when reading car content (though I know cars exist and I'm not interested), if that helps to pay for you writing what I want to read. What ticks me off is the scripts they try to run, loading large videos and shoving that full screen into my face. That and tracking/targeted ads (they don't even work)

@ShadowJonathan
I wish there was an easy way to block ads when using TV.... also I am a tech potato and don't even know how to do that on PC so. (^_^)* I just skip them or tune my brain out.Youtube though has started to play ads like every 5-10 minutes and longer videos are getting...so bad.
So. So bad. (=_=)* -
