I'm done with YouTube.
YouTube is getting aggressive with ad blockers. Since my last Firefox update, watching YouTube videos has become unpleasant. I'm getting constant notifications about my ad blocker. At first they could be closed immediately. Now they have a timer. YouTube is obviously trying to force me to disable my ad blocker or subscribe. I refuse to do both. Why?
1. I never paid to watch YouTube videos. Why should I now?
2. Watching ads on a video wrecks the entire experience, so I decided to get an ad blocker to clean up the experience.
3. Excessive censorship. If anyone disagrees with the narrative, they are automatically censored and assumed to be "ultra right wing", even though they are not. -- They are like Justin Trudeau!
This is the right time to leave.
Here are my alternatives:
I signed up for a streaming service, since I mainly used YouTube to listen to music and pod casts. I have no problem paying for it, because the service is superior and cheaper than YouTube's monthly subscription rate.
For news I can go to specific websites, which I already do.
Anything else like short and entertaining viral videos can be watched on other websites.
Anyone else giving up YouTube?
