It undermines the integrity of the digital advertising ecosystem while providing additional income for website operators.

Switch to AdNauseam.

It clicks ads in addition to blocking them.

That’s just the nature of the internet.

I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to block you now.

I’ve seen too much incompetence on your part, and I need to stop validating it with responses.

Goodbye.

Gonna have to ignore you, bud.

Arguing with incompetent people such as yourself is a waste of effort.

Goodbye.

The people who set up the instances usually also are responsible for paying to keep them active.

but it is going to be very difficult to convince people to pay for what YouTube gives away for free.

I mean, they’re already there. Have you tried using Peertube?

We really should be working together to upload content from youtube to peertube instances.

Don’t ask for permission. Just do it. Civilly disobey.

Where is it being proposed?

Thanks for doing your part to spread the truth in this sea of lies and FUD.

It’s clear that most people these days are proud consumers with more money than sense. All they care about is looking good in front of their consumerist friends, and they base all of their actions and decisions around what will support that ideology.

As a kid, I thought useful idiots were rare. Now I see it’s the exact opposite.

I always like this on the premise of charging advertisers money while giving them no audience in return.

It’s not even available on chrome because google removed it years ago. They weren’t breaking any rules, but google saw it as a threat and kept it removed since there wasn’t sufficient backlash.

Really wish people would STFU about the “privacy” aspect about this. It gives junk data to trackers because it floods them with all the ads you’re coming across. The main purpose, though, is to charge advertisers money without giving them a service in return.

It’s sad most of you consumers can’t see the real significance of this software, but it really puts into perspective why most people are useful idiots these days.

Consumerism has won.

No, he means that’s literally not how IP addresses work. It’s not about “nothing being random.”

You don’t just “pick an IP address” from a list lmao and send it as though it’s not your actual IP. You would need to literally connect to a proxy and send the request through that proxy in order for ads to see an IP different than you own.

My god, are you people trolls or just the next generation taking hold? The dumbing down of Western society is in full force.

I’ve been recommending this for awhile, it’s nice to see someone else take up the mantle.

Yes, it clicks ads in addition to blocking them. Google removed it from its addon repository even though it wasn’t breaking any rules. They just removed it and kept it removed because there wasn’t sufficient backlash, the scumbags.

It’s the main reason why I use Firefox these days. it’s clear that the cabal will not allow anything that legitimately threatens their power structure, and make advertising less-effective for the same price is a gut punch they need.
