Remember when Google introduced text-only ads to replace flashing animated banners and pop-up ads popular at the time? I didn’t mind those and I didn’t need an adblocker.

Nowadays YouTube is the primary reason I have to use an adblocker. It is literally unusable with all the ads.

    I won’t watch YouTube without an adblocker. Used to pay for premium for years through VPN in turkey, was like $4/ month for family plan. But now they region lock payment methods. So back to ublock origin and Firefox in addition to a pihole setup that blocks hundreds of thousands of ad sites. Fuck advertisements.
