Ok. Well hey, enjoy screaming in a Lemmy echo chamber. I'll enjoy my ad free YouTube that works across all of my devices on any network without additional screwing around with piholes, DNS servers, and whatnot all for $5 per month. Not to mention supporting the creators I like so they can continue to make content for me to watch.
And when you want to watch on your TV? Or phone? Or somewhere not on your network? Enjoy juggling all those DNS servers and pihole configs. Or what about those posts daily about how you need to add new filters in your ad block because Google pushed an update?
I'll spend the price of a coffee and just open the app. My time is worth $5. Sorry yours isn't.
dont use a smart TV because I'm not an idiot. My adblock works on my phone too. Don't have a pihole or DNS. Shit you spent more time typing out your message than I've spent worrying about ads in the last 10 years.
