They force ads and steal money from the content creators, and people still flock to use their services. How fucking braindead can you be?

Just stop using YouTube. That will fix their problems real quick.

I just went to yt's front page, which I haven't done in a long while (usually use NewPipe or use a direct link). There is a LOT of garbage on there. I mean, holy crap! It's not the creators' fault, I know. The Algorithm decides, and they must appease The Algorithm. Still, though. And, now, this timer bs for the 2% who use adblockers?

Paste link to VLC, mpv, other media player. Also Freetube and the sort work.
