Here’s an ice cold take. If somebody has the capability of using an ad blocker, and they choose not to, they’re a dumbass. These days, nearly every creator has sponsorships and donations, they’ll be fine without a couple cents of ad revenue. Consciously letting ads through only feeds the beast, and nothing will convince me that Google and Microsoft should be treated charitably.
Is this person saying they reflexively thumbs-down videos because the platform puts ads on them?
Dumbass.
No they click on a video they don’t really want to see and then give every video a thumbs down
They charged me sales tax at chipotle once so I set that mf on fire
Coward
Youtube nerfed the thumbs down button.
