!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

This is not ad-blocking related. The search results on YouTube are literal trash and there's nothing we can do about it.
I know this is an incredibly unpopular take on Lemmy, but YT Premium is the best value subscription on the web by my reckoning. I watch an absolute fuck ton of content on YT, and I listen to an absolute fuck ton of music on YT music. And my partner does too.
If you don't use YT enough to justify the cost of the sub, I understand being frustrated with the ads but it's a free service. I can't imagine the amount of data that YT serves daily to free users.
best value subscription
My problem with it is that it reinforces toxic monopoly, and I don't even know how much money goes to the creators.
Also they raised price multiple times lately
I've got about half a dozen plugins in Firefox specifically for YouTube to make the front page even remotely usable.
Without them YouTube isn't even worth it.
I take it you haven't been paying attention. The term that has been it coined is called "enshitification" and the Google is running at the head of the pack in their race to the sewer.
No, the kids are ~~scared to type scary-sweary words now~~ too stupid to know when and where they need to self-censor so the term is ensh*ttification
OP has some catching up to do
Real homies don’t let homies view YouTube without proper adblockers turned on
But you're stealing from content creators
I've been saying for almost 5 years now, ditch youtube. Everytime i say it I get the most butt hurt responses.
Where do you go for random videos and passing time watching things you're interested in?
Are people really okay with this?
No, thats why they use adblock. Either install adblock or just use Brave or Opera browser. Ads will be gone forever
