You dont deserve ad-free free content, youre just entitled.
I am entitled to not have my PC infested with shit I don't want on it like trackers or straight up malware from ads. I am also entitled to not have to see ads for literal butt plugs from Temu or $7 Nintendo switches that are totally not a scam.

I wouldn't have a problem with ads if they were regulated at all, but they aren't.

Internet ads are blight on humanity because they just opted for the "more more" approach

I'd argue that would have to be true for TV as well but actually that's the reason I started using YouTube Premium (the way YouTube serves ads they slam them jarringly into videos with no semblance of fluidity with respect to the video you're watching, not letting the video creator make determinations about ad placements to better suit their video's structure). So it's incongruous to make that comparison.
Just use Invidious or one of the apps that uses it like NewPipe. No need to pay for YouTube Premium.

Either way though, content creators who make ads part of their videos (Ex: Raid Shadow Legends) will still not be blocked.

You couldnt give one example of something racist I have said or done if your life depended on it. And you wont respond to this with one, youll just continue to spout vague lies. Stop making shit up.

because you ask for examples so you can mark the post for saying lies about you

It's not about deserving ad free content. It's about protecting our devices from rogue ads. If we happen to benefit from ad free videos because of it, then that's not my problem.

I like the ones that are like "Please Disable Your Ad Blocker To Continue" in big bold words with a paragraph I'm not goint to read underneath but thej at the very bottom in tiny writing is a button that says "Continue without disabling." Those guys are doing it right.

I have a strong suspicion those arguing against people blocking the websites might be engaging in contrian history, especially anyone with a history for doing so on places like 261

Ill unblock for a few ads, news sites do it all the time.

However sites that make you click the ads, oh no those suck. Probably shouldnt download stuff from that site lol

Quite a few video creators timestamp the ads they run themselves. Nice, even if potentially harmful to their relationship with the advertisers.

I didnt delete it and I fully stand behind what I said. Wanting free content without the creator being able to make ad revenue is incredibly entitled.

I mean you sicced the mods on people who brought up your dodgy past and you had a reputation for constantly arguing in bad faith and taking contrian positions on 261. Why exactly are we to trust you're being sincere now? Give me a reason to take your words at face value rather than assume you're fishing for drama.

Lets assume you are being sincere. Why do so many people you talk to view you as a shit stirring contrarian? What do you think is the reason people are apparently mistaken about your intentions? Let's hear your side of the story.

Honestly, YouTube showing which part of the video has the most amount of scrubs on the timeline is undermining their creators' efforts to advertise inside videos.

Maybe that was the idea.
