Topic	Linus Tech Tips: Ad blocking is the exact same thing as piracy.
Kloe_Rinz 02/02/22 3:27:50 AM #87:	the difference between Netflix and YouTube is that Netflix advertises the cost of its videos as a subscription fee, whereas YouTube advertises the cost of its videos as free. Theres no inherent agreement between YouTube and the viewer that the viewer must watch ads and enable themselves to be tracked via JavaScript running in the background ads are also a security risk. They have been used to distribute malware in the past. For that reason alone its stupid not to block them even if it were morally wrong (its such a non issue I have a hard time agreeing), I simply dont care because I dont want to watch ads and my time is worth more than advertisers time <cite>Kloe_Rinz posted [p:962293214] in Linus Tech...
