I’m getting better at it though.
I’m so used to blocking ads that I sometimes forget they even exist and am always shocked when I see people who don’t use adblockers.
For real. I tried to show my dad a YouTube video on his phone not too long ago and just outright gave up after seeing that the duration of the ads would exceed the duration of the video. Revanced gang forever
Oh damn, did something replace vanced? I was super bummed out when mine stopped working and started watching youtube through brave browser on mobile.
Yeah a new? group took over and it’s working again. Check out https://revanced.app/
I’m more of a Libretube or Newpipe x Sponsorblock guy but glad to revanced be successful nonetheless
I didn’t realize how bad some channels sponsor to content ratio was until I started using sponsorblock and got to see a representation of the ratios in the video timeline highlighted in color.
It’s definitely changed the game for me, even if I used to just use the “jog keys” to do the same thing.
raw dogging the internet, i dont understand it 😩 and most the time, theyre completely oblivious and indifferent toward them
Having experienced it myself back in the wild days of the net before I discovered ad blockers, they were so omnipresent that you just kinda ignored them. Like noseblindness making you ignore a smell you’re used to, but when other people come in your home they ask you wtf that smell is.
Every time I’m using someone else’s tech and I see ads I actually quite enjoy them in a nostalgic way. I kind of miss the days when I used to know all the jingles for all the pizza chains and furniture stores in my area.
