Yeah... I was hoping someone over at Alphabet understood that people click on videos to see content and tolerate ads. They don't click to see the ads and then might stick around for the content. But that might be asking for too much from Google management.




If you're not running adblock, you should internalize the fact that you are subsidizing other people's flawless viewing experience by suffering through advertisements.

Sideload a proper YouTube client, otherwise you're like one of those human batteries from the Matrix except you're fuelling my yt-dlp hard drive.


I think yt-dlp and adblock are orthogonal. You can do both, or neither, or one but not the other.
