THE BOOT SLURPING WILL CONTINUE UNTIL AD BLOCKERS ARE DISABLED

old.reddit.com High CPU / PC Stall When Using Youtube on Chrome

>2. disabling extensions (though i've had the same for years, it shouldn't have changed anything) Something has changed. Using an adblocker goes...

I know reddit is low hanging fruit, but I just can't with these dweebs.

Something has changed. Using an adblocker goes against the YouTube ToC, so Google has started to detect them. You need to disable Adblock for YouTube, and it should go back to normal.

fuck google for doing this.

Well, Google has every right to do so. It has to pay the content creators for their work, so people need to pay either (as you and I do) through Premium or by having advertisements. When people use an ad-blocker to watch YouTube, they are freeriding on the creators' work, which is disrespectful to say the least.

so-true why yes, I talk about people who use ad blocker to not have their consciousness invaded by advertisements using "welfare queen" language. how did you know?

They don't pay creators on YouTube as much as they used to.

I'm not surprised. People are blocking ads all over the place.

YouTube has recently been cracking down on ad-blockers, because they deprive content creators of their rightful fees. Recent changes have caused ad-blockers to misbehave.

Or just, you know, pay for the content? It's called YouTube Premium. People don't complain about Netflix or Amazon Prime charging money.

Anyway, it's your decision what you choose to do. I choose to pay.

Edit: I’m leaving this picture here for now to illustrate how funny takes you agree with can be harmful, regardless of your intentions. And how when others call you out on unconscious bigotry you should address it.

Edit again: No one asked for me to remove the picture. Just thought it was the right thing to do.

  time is a flat circle
  
  Sorry. Do you think I should delete it? I don’t wanna make others uncomfortable.
  
  to be honest most people on the internet are not this respectful, and it doesn’t really insult me at all personally, so I’m ok leaving it up until someone else complains… but again I’m not really affected by it so I don’t know if my opinion counts here
  
  Also blade shaming.
  
  oh no
