Youtube can eat shit and post it to 'shorts' before I turn my ad-blocker off.

Do they have a way to cut off FreeTube? I just started using it recently.

ever since they've been getting so obnoxious and haughty lately i've deleted the app (which is barely worth having without premium; esp with them INTENTIONALLY DISABLING background playback on mobile which is a fucking joke and should literally be against the law) and honestly barely visit anymore. i don't think my quality of life has dropped at all

I'll just start downloading the YouTube videos I wanna watch. Maybe even have it on my Plex server.

Hey Google, you gotta remember that you won’t get any ad revenue from people who get fed up with your shit and just stop going to YouTube.

How about invest in actually using all the data you have on me to show me ads for products I would actually be interested in? I wouldnt hate ads so much if it wasn't so repetitive and for crap that is useless to me.
