I just held my nose, and paid for YouTube Premium, because it now doesn't work with my adblocker, and it's literally *painful* to use without an adblocker.

I don't like it, but I watch enough YouTube creators, that at present, it's not something I'm willing to just stop using.

@sfalken @gamingonlinux At least as a Premium watcher, content creators get slightly more money from your views than they do with ads. So it's not all bad.

@gamingonlinux @Conan_Kudo Yeah, it's why I'm not *that* upset about it, but it still feels fucking sleazy. I mean, the ads I was getting without the adblocker were some of the worst garbage, bullshit ads. Ads for things like apparently you can bang two spoons against you cheekbone to fix vision problems, because you know, hearing issues don't actually have anything to do with your eyes, perpetual motion scams, and OMG so much MAGA garbage.
