Is blocking ads considered a hate crime now?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Ernie no!!

The wealthy aren't a protected class, it's not a hate crime.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

Like hell they aren't. They're the most protected class.

yt-dlp and mpv with sponsorblock still rocks.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

is there a similar solution for casual browsing -- meaning, allow the algorithm to pick which video plays next? I think yt-dlp is only effective if you know in advance what you'll be watching

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

No, mpv integrates yt-dlp if it's around. Rightclick copy link, alt+f2, ctrl+v, watch.

But there's:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sponsorblock/

https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/453320-simple-sponsor-skipper

Never tried it tho.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

sounds great, can you tell us how to set up yt-dlp with mpv ?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Install both, done? Or do you mean mpv-sponsorblock?

Edit: or on windows, add yt-dlp to the PATH variable.

My favorite experience in this regard was watching YouTube on xbox (i know, i know)... They played a 40 minute redbull "ad" on a five minute video. In what sane world should ads be 8 fucking times longer than the content?!?!1?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

I had a similar experience on my YouTube TV app, I was watching old history channels in bed, and there was a full length documentary for an "ad". I could have skipped after 15 seconds or whatever, but I had to INTERACT with the TV before it would resume. I was distracted so it ended up playing like 15 minutes of an hour+ documentary ad.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Why would they even make a 40 min long ad for Redbull?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

It was just a documentary that was shoved into an ad space. Something about their aerial stunts/races. Dunno. I got like, five seconds into it because FUCK THAT SHIT.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

I never use youtube anymore.

Laying in bed bored = netflix

Up and motivated = steam or work

News = Reddthat

Tutorials = text-based articles, no unindexed untranscribed videos that start with the words "hey guys welcome back"

[–] [email protected] 28 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

People who complain about ads on the internet are such a weird concept.

Why experience ads if you don't want to?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 18 hours ago (4 children)

Because ads don't ask for your consent.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 13 hours ago

Sure they do, I've revoked my consent by installing an adblocker I haven't watched a video ad in probably 8 years.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 16 hours ago

Ads are a bit mind-rapey

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago

And you have the agency and ability to either pay for the service or investigate other means of avoiding them. Complaining about them is just annoying.

Wish you could block ads from embedded youtube videos in Discord.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 14 hours ago

I just copy and paste the link into my browser. Lets me make use of sponsorblock that way.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 15 hours ago

I believe Vencord can do it

[–] [email protected] 10 points 18 hours ago

Me when ublock origin

[–] [email protected] 12 points 19 hours ago

Or when the skip button appears but only skips to the next ad

Shut your Pi-hole! My daddy had ads on the TV, and his dad had ads on the radio, and his dad had ads in the paper! I proudly allow ads and tracking!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

I wish there was a way on Pi-hole to block those ads on TV yt

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 day ago

This has never happened to me because I’ve been blocking ads for the last 15 years.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 day ago (10 children)

If you're getting ads on videos, you need to get you shit together and install uBlock Origin asap.

Haha jokes on you. I've been refreshing the website until the ad refuses to load. It just took 5 minutes

i find using freetube keeps Ernie calm.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

I wish using freetube kept Ernie calm, but it just doesn't work half the time. Invidious has the same issue. Which is significantly more annoying than just using YT, which Ernie has uBlock Origin for.
