Youtube ads- I'm talking the 30sec ones you can't skip

[QueBert]

I'm sure you do. Why even keep adblocker then?

Makes sense to me, support the sites you're on a lot, don't care too much about a site you might never go back to a 2nd time. It's like people who take 1 penny from the take a penny tray and the ones who always come in the store and will take 10-15 every time if they're there.

1 penny = people who visit a site once and block ad's
15 pennies = people who spend maybe an hour plus a day on a site and still block ads.

Ditto ESPN, one ad, one vid, every time..

I never get ads on ESPN.

I don't use youtube or similar video websites much, but when I do, I just open two tabs. Let the commercial run in one tab and watch what I want in the other tab.

No ad blocker needed.

That is stupid.

 

[dullard]

That is stupid.

Yes, I agree with you it is very stupid for me to do what I want without commercials interferring.

You still hear it.

You still hear it.

Oh that is right, there aren't volume controls. Stupid me again. I keep forgetting that we live in such tough times.

Exactly.

That's what adblock is for.

 

[dullard]

Exactly.

You should realize that some people use computers that they don't have the ability to install ad blockers on. Work computers, friend's computers, family computers, etc. It takes just few seconds to load several tabs and mute all but the one you are currently watching. It is a very simple and easy trick to avoid all ads. If you want to be forced into watching ads in cases where it isn't your computer, that is fine. But the rest of ATOT can use that simple technique.

That's what adblock is for.

Adblock doesn't always work and can't be always installed. But intelligent people can get around ads in other methods.

That why you bring your own computer or tablet with you.
