And repeat after me: controlling what appears on YOUR screen that YOU OWN is not illegal and in fact, a basic human right of yours

Edit: lmao on the people intentionally misinterpreting what I said. Dude it's my device, kindly fuck off if you think anyone gets to tell me what I HAVE to put on there

Your iconic username pops up a lot in such discussions. Thanks for being awesome.

Fr I felt like a celeb responded to me

[–] Sheeple@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

And imagine to me many of you are celebs :)

I block ads too but do you expect them to host one of the world's largest collections of data just because?

Repeat after me: I will have the self-awareness to realize that I made the conscious decision to go to a website and incur server costs. I am not entitled to free content. If I don't agree with how a website recoups costs, I won't use that website.

It's not malware vectors. It's not fake downloads. It's short interstitials that let you watch things 'for free.' Youtube is not a human right. It's not water. You can do other things.

What happens on my devices and/or inside my home, I decide. If websites don't like that, block me. I'm OK with that.

Fully agree. Honestly, I'm surprised you haven't been down voted into nonexistence. People acting like, as you said, YouTube's some sort of "right" was kinda funny at first but it's descended into throwing a tantrum for getting caught doing something they shouldn't have been doing in the first place. Petulant children.

If a corporation needs to steal my time to afford to operate, then they can't afford to operate.
