why do i have to watch ads on a streaming service im already paying for
>>220213326Just pay a little more and you won't have to worry about ads. Seems perfectly reasonable.
>>220213326It felt like this was slowly introduced so people wouldn't take much notice. Nowadays every streaming service has some premium bullshit that doesn't include ads but soon enough even those will contain some ads.
>>220213326Number must go up
Because you're too dumb or cowardly for torrents.
>>220213326Just pirate it, retard.
>>220213326same reason you have ads with cable: you're a little bitch that'll pay for it.
>>220213326watchseries.barits because youre a retard who refuses to accept a small reduction in video quality when it doesnt make any difference for 95% of content
>>220213385was until I got the dreaded email from isp
>>220213326>paying for streamingGood goy!
why do i have to watch ads on an electronic I already paid for
>>220213326so you can consume the products you paid to watch the ads for the products you paid to watch the streaming you paid to watch the ads for the products you consumecan't you pay attention? attention with ads?
>>220213326Because 109 countries wasn't enough.
>the control group showed it will complain but still keep paying
>>220213366I wonder who could be behind this post…
>>220213326>Streaming services
>>220213451I heard those letters are nothingburgers and you can ignore them with zero consequences. Or does anyone here know someone who had to face consequences, even if it's just getting their service cut off? I doubt it
>>220213326They’re putting ads on pause screens now. >Pay $140 for Amazon>Check out the latest season of The Boys to laugh at the terrible writing>DEI infested ads every 5 minutes>Ads on pause screen>QR code pops up during the episode to add an item to my Amazon Shopping cartI remember when Prime was $99 and had NO ads.
>>220213705Some people are more retarded than others
>>220213458>>220213606>>220213630Retards. Jews want communism while paying for advertisements is pure capitalism. Jews hate this sort of stuff because it goes against (((communism))).
>>220213451A VPN costs a few dollars a month and you'll save a lot more than that.
>>220213326This is why I use Tubi
>>220213451skill issue>>220213705they don't even send them anymore, the SC recently reaffirmed service providers are not liable for their customers actionshttps://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/24-171_new_3dq3.pdf
>>220213326I'm going to just torrent everything at a certain point, but sometimes you're a lazyfag who likes having a curated selection. I will say that YouTube premium is worth every penny, I think they made it impossible to use ad blockers now
>>220213738Based
>>220213735used a VPN but didn't know about binding or killswitch so it leaked at least once. Now I'm too afraid to fix it since apparently it can still leak even when properly configured? Not worth the risk when I need my internet connection for work
Im having Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation done for my treatment-resistant depression that I’ve had for 15 years and the relaxation videos I watch while the pulse is firing into my brain have ads in them.
Every time I see an ad I can feel my soul withering. They're actual poison.
>>220213981>fintech>gambling app>debt consolidation >”ethical” AI customer support service>upper mid range car>antidepressant>business facing AI service>random propaganda reel for IBM or Eli Lily >Insurance>HIV drug>something about affordable abortionsAnd repeat. I’m like 90% ads only exist nowadays to drive people so deep into depression they will pay any price to remove them.
>>220213326Your tribute is lacking. You must pay more for the privilege of no ads.
>>220213981I can't do it anymore. It's worse than any gore.
they've installed screens at the gas stations around here so anytime you're filling up they blare advertisements at you. very annoying.>>220213925you're kidding right? are they just playing youtube videos for you?
>>220214141you could tell me these commercials are still airing and I would 100% believe you
>>220214201> they've installed screens at the gas stations around here so anytime you're filling up they blare advertisementsThose have been around a long ass time. The new thing is picre
>>220214227>tipping a self-serve machineDo Americans really? It should tip you
>>220214227The next logical step is putting ads on refrigerators and toilets that won’t work unless the eye trackers verify you’ve watched the whole thing. They’re already sneaking ads onto smart fridges.
>>220214265you can order food from the store at the gas pump. OP is being a bit dishonest
>>220214265They got tricked into leaving their tips a few days after birth and now they can't stop.
>>220214201>they've installed screens at the gas stations around here so anytime you're filling up they blare advertisements at you.I always start mashing the buttons. Sometimes one of them is a mute button.
>>220213469no ads on my kobo, just download an epub and walah
>>220214299Already there
>>220213326Because you're a good goy
>>220214416Thats not so bad, from what I'm told the vast majority of public toilets in china don't provide toilet paper at all so people just carry it around with them.
>Torrents>Revanced>123movies (and others)Yup, it's kino time
>>220213375its how they did it with cable.and how they will do it with the next thing....
>>220214656>Revancedwhat's this?
>>220214375based kobo userI hope a patrician like you will consider using the proper voila instead of bastardized walah
>>220214732hacked youtube client I thinkpersonally I use freetube/newpipe
>>220214732https://revanced.app/ believe this should be the official site. I want you to think of me years from now when you use it
>>220214416Jokes on them, if I'm streaming I don't need the paper
>>220213820i just set it up in qbittorrent to never ever torrent data without using the vpn. i'm an alcoholic and have never fucked up by forgetting to turn on vpn. it's just a setting in the program I have proton vpn btw. best 10 bucks a month i've ever spent.
>>220214733eggsgusemwah monseeyoor
>>220214760Is that for windows? I find with an adblocker and sponsorblock it's pretty seamless
>>220214822revanced and newpipe are android, freetube is desktopweb browser works fine if you want it that way, I just personally despise jewgle's tracking and algorithm/recommendations and refuse to log in. the other options provide me a way to "subscribe" and know about new uploads, without a google account.however the website is the only option when youtube decides to break 3rd party clients as they do every few months
>>220213326>>220213375>>220213981I guess it just blows my mind that humanity has come so far in terms of quality of life and technological advancement. You can easily have the perfect entertainment experience from the comfort of your home with access to the entirety of recorded film, TV, music, literature,video games, etc...something that would have been unfathomable 100 (even 50) years ago. And yet we still put up with ads. I suppose you could argue that none of this could exist in the first place without ad revenue but I wonder if there's a planet out there somewhere where they're watching the caliber of kinos but without any ads
>>220215184Ads are just a tax for the stupid masses, ads are a complete non issue if you have any sort of basic tech knowledge>torrent>adblocker>no tv (tv is for boomers anyway, cucked into someone telling you what you will watch and when? and PAY for that?)Boom, ads gone
>>220213326For the same reason cable launched with no ads then later got them. Advertisers have more money than viewers, and the kind of people with enough spare money they are willing to pay to skip ads are precisely the kind of people advertisers want to target.
>>220213744Revamped lets you mod the apk on your phone to watch youtube without ads there. Ublock origin still works in Firefox on desktop for me.
>>220216645That should say Revanced. It's my own fault for trusting autocorrect.
>>220214416I generally just wipe my hands on my shirt, so I guess I've circumvented the need for watching their ads.
>>220213326Because consumers have zero rights these days and they want as much money off you as they can get.
>>220213326this only happens if you are in a relation with a femoidanons pirate their stuff
>he pays to watch shows and movies
>>220213326>Not using Tubi for freeHe didn't check Trivago.
>>220213734retard
>>220213326youtube is completely unwatchable with all the ads. they're some kind of heinous torture.
>>220215281there's no way to get around ads if you're watching youtube or animekino on your high-spec lg tv.
>>220214802Yeah, I just set my VPN to automatically kill qbit if I'm not on a VPN connection, so even if I forget that I'm not connected to the VPN, it doesn't matter.
1) they realized most people wouldn't care enough to cancel their subscriptions2) they could not make enough money doing it the old way, every "successful" streaming service burns money on needless big budget shit
>>220213706>QR code pops up during the episode to add an item to my Amazon Shopping cartWhat, really? Thats joke, right?
>>220217403It's called hooking an hdmi cable to your tv. i am typing this on my s90d qd-oled right now and i use it as my main display for my pc for everything, just run a fiber optic hdmi cable along the walls and cover it up. Being forced to endure the shit ass apps thei force on you on your tv is boomer cuck behaviour as well.And even then you can circumvent it, i have an lg c1 tv in my bedroom that i sideload an ad free youtube app to.Again, lack of tech knowledge and skill issue
>>220213326why he look upset?
>>220215281This. I can't remember the last time I saw an ad. I checked out twitch a while back and got hit with an ad and it was almost more of a novelty than an inconvenience.>>220217333I could never go back to using YouTube without premium now.
>>220213326Jews. How many times do we have to go over this?
The only streaming I use anymore is criterion's>no ads>no focus tested original content slop>actually has movies from beforworks.>doesnt auto play random shit as soon as the credits roll>cheapIt just werks.
>>220217630>i never see ads anymore>admits to paying for premiumyou got played nigga, if you pay to circumvent it you're even worse than the ones who see ads
>>220213326Almost everyone watching a stream is on their phone the entire time. Adblocking is only used by around 2.5% of phone browsers. The vast majorty of the audience isn't only unbothered by ads, they're even exicted by them. Like there are people who will send each other 'funny commecials', or 'best superbowl ad compilation', or '10 hours of 90s ads to chill and study with'. Maybe you wish the world or people were different or better, and I hear you, but things are what they are. To be completely without ads the fee your paying has to be higher than the maximum advertisers will pay for the maximum ad space they can force in without driving away 75% of users, roughly. If it's not obvious, that means no streaming service would ever offer an add free level if the market was efficient. The only reason you ever could buy a plan like that was poor market research. That era is just over.
>>220213326Which one?If its Prime, then it's because nobody pays for Prime Video. They pay for Prime 1 day free delivery and they get the video as a freebie. Nobody is cancelling their delivery subscription because of ads on their shitty streaming service.
>>220217333>ads on youtube???
>>220213705i got snagged once. the distribution companies hire law firms to lock in on individual IPs and then download 100% of the file. then they have standing to take you to court. they dont actually want to go to trial, of course, they just settle for a couple thousand dollars. stop seeding before 1:1 and theres nothing they can do
>>220217672This is a good thing, i am glad most people seems to love ads, i have even given up on trying to show friends and family how easy it is to remove them, we need most people to eat up ads so that they can pay for those of us who block adsBut of course, despite ad blockers being a miniscule percentage overall, they will never stop trying to force a 100% rate of ad watchers
>>220214801Only if you are streaming pile of shit
>>220217764At that point, I'm torrenting.
>>220217661It's only £12 a month, which I can very easily afford, and I have YouTube on virtually 24/7 just running in the background, even ambient stuff while I sleep. The time I saved avoiding ads is worth that money. Last time I tried blocking those ads ublock wasn't stopping them so I just bought premium instead of trying to stay ahead of the adblocker blocker or whatever. Obviously I use ubittorrent for TV and film that isn't on YouTube.
>>220213326>he pays the goy fee
>>220214345did you ever think that the business should pay their employees and not you?
>>220217672Interesting. I think you're right.The cheapest service is when they show ads and you use an adblocker. And you don't tell others about adblocking.
>>220217809I remember there was a brief period of time when ublock was having to race against youtube every day and having to update filters, but that was like 2 years ago now probably and i haven't had to do anything since that and all ads have been blocked without issue ever since
>>220217809come back to ublock, the water's fine
never paid for a streaming service my whole life
>>220217868Shit, really? I should test that out. I assumed it was still unreliable. Thanks.
>>220217940Get sponsorblock too you bitch.
>>220213705My wife left me because of one of those letters. She took the kids and house and I spent 5 years on the streets. I still pirate though.
>>220213326>The officeGo back to r*ddit
>>220217993noscript + ublock origin guarantees me zero ads
>>220217809even brave browser on mobile blocks the in browser YouTube adverts, the app is a shit heap that tries to force feed short content nonstop
>>220217993Never heard of it, thanks for the tip.
>>220213326just use the FMHY github
>>220218001What a dumb bitch
>>220218009nta but it's pretty good as it can autoskip youtubers plugging their nonsense. no idea how it even detects that if they don't put 'sponsor' or the like in their chapters
My Amazon router comes with an adblocker feature. Now that's ironic.It does make everything stop working though
>>220218102It works by having users submit the timestamps for whenever a sponsor segment happens, so it's not bulletproof. But since sponsor segments are usually only done by big channels anyway there is usually someone submitting it for most relevant videos
>>220218102Users mark the sections using the buttons it adds. Sections that get marked enough are distributed to the rest of the users.
>>220213469Because you didn't pay for it. They don't sell those for market price, it's subsidized by the mandatory ads they cram into the firmware. Did you never wonder to yourself why kindles cost less than half of what equivalent non-amazon branded ereaders cost?>>220218006No that anon's right. Throw sponsorblock ontop, it'll autoskip any youtuber SUBSCRIBE or baked in ad as well. Total ad death.>>220218102>no idea how it even detects that if they don't put 'sponsor' or the like in their chaptersit's user generated. People mark the sections in manually. You might notice if you follow a extremely niche channel or you catch a video right at upload time that nothing's marked in. Within minutes in most cases there'll be a user though who scrubs through the video and labels the ad breaks.
>>220218124Get a pihole. And I'm not talking about your mouth
>>220213326You should pay them more honestly.
>>220213705After I accidentally fully uploaded Madagascar 2 when I was drunk, my ISP stopped my internet and sent me a letter saying I had to come into the ISP place and physically sign a thing saying I wouldn't do it again. I must've downloaded 5 terabytes of film and TV since then with no VPN and no issues. I guess my ISP only cares if you seed.
>>220218124Don't worry, I'm sure it sends all the analytics data it scrapes straight to Amazon though
>>220218192For me it's adguard
>>220213366I mean, it will still show ads, but they're exclusive ads.
>>220217993I like how it shows how much time i've saved with something as simple as skipping that garbage. And this is on a browser i started fresh at the start of the year
>>220214375*squadalah
>>220213469Install koreader, and ideally get something that isn't Amazlop.
If humans didn't buy things based on ads we'd be all good and wouldn't have to worry about them.
>>220213326Because you're too chicken-shit to cancel your subscription
>>220218238We're off!
>>220218238MAH BOI
>>220218257A capitalist tells you to pay for the privilege of being able to pay to have access to being able to pay for a product. It's the American Way.
>>220218287best thing to do is live like a hermit with a few pieces of technology and reject consumer culture.
>>220218304When will you start?
>>220213469Install koreader and enjoy the things (You) want instead including your own screensavers for FREE.
>>220218329basically anyone that doesn't have a subscription to something fills this definition these days. including food apps etc.
>>220218329I already have really. A few pieces of tech still includes a pc
>>220217727lg tv's have poor adblocking.
>>220218736seems like life isn't so good with an LG
>>220217630>paying 15 bucks a month to the jews for premium
>>220218755See>>220217809
>>220217561That seems awkward though. I don't want my tv to be a fourth monitor for my computer. I'd need to hook up my old computer for that. Would take a lot repair work. Maybe though.
>>220213326ah the good old days when netflix offered a free month so you could use it without ever payingthings were so simple
>>220217561>i sideload an ad free youtube app toCan you tell me more about this?
>>220217940ads sometimes show up on twitch through ublock and adguard. :(
>>220218819I don't know if this would be appropriate for you, but I have a projector connected to my PC. You can get a surprisingly good one for cheap. You also need a big blank wall and some blackout curtains, a stand for the projector, and probably an HDMI extension cable but the whole setup shouldn't cost more than £150-£200.
>>220218736As stated it's easy to circumvent >>220217561 lg tv's are probably the easiest tv's to side load apps on>>220218893basically you just enable developer mode on your tv so you can side load apk'shttps://www.reddit.com/r/LGOLED/comments/wzs6hg/adfree_youtube_webos_app/?sort=new
>>220218794I'm worth over a million, and I still hate the idea of paying 12-15 bucks a month to not get ads.
>>220217672It's because we have phones that we put up with ads. They even give you a countdown these days.>2 minutes of ads remaining>great, 2 minutes of phone scrolling>5 minutes later - oh the show has started again?Why pay to remove ads when they're providing an excuse to do something else?
>>220218963thanks. i appreciate it, fellow c1 owner.
Anyone remember that one time Firefox broke all their extensions so adblock didn't work for like 6 hours before they fixed itI hadn't seen a youtube ad on desktop in like 10 years, but in that window I saw a glimpse into what people without an adblock has to go through. The amount of shit normies actually sit through to watch a youtube video is staggering. I would never actually use youtube if that was the regular experience.
>>220217333Use ublock + sponsorblock. I cant remember the last time I saw an ad
>>220218998Kek, is this really what ad watchers subject themselves to?>oh having ads is no problem! it just means i can spend some more time being lost in social media brainrot and propaganda! :DIf you're at that point already then it's no wonder you don't mind having ads
>>220219059I used to watch Youtube with ads until Youtube forced some test site layout on me, and adblocker could disable the cookie that enforced the layout. They force people into using them.
>>220218978Obviously I'd rather not pay it, and apparently ublock sorted their shit so maybe I'll stop now, but adverts absolutely infuriate me to the point I'd pay twice as much to avoid the amount of ads I was getting before. Some people can ignore them but for me it's like being poked in the ribs for 30 seconds and it made YouTube unusable. It's why I can never use twitch.
>>220219192Use ublock on desktop, and revanced for mobile
>>220213326Torrent/archive.org/ok.ru for movies and showsuBlock Origin for everything elseI had to reinstall firefox recently and experiencing the internet without an ad blocker for 5 minutes was pure hell, I have no idea how you guys do itI would just go outside if I had none
>>220219375+Brave for mobile
>streaming paycucks don't even know that they're paying for an inferior product4K streaming is not actual 4K quality, neither is 1080p etc, streaming will always be lower quality than a pirated rip, streaming services compress the quality as much as possible to save on server costs and bandwidth. (doesn't apply to streaming from your own server of course, because that way you can choose to have full bitrate)
>>220219471yeah with that you just gotta PvE against troon hordes armed with firebombs
>>220219561No no theres just a shit ton of jeets at chargers which is fucking annoying but at least theyre a bunch of pussies
>>220219471god take me back to the days before the model y. Back before the 3 dropped and even a couple years after its introduction the vibe was great at the chargers. People hanging out outside of their cars, having picnics chatting with others, everyone cleaned up after themselves and the order was always settled when the lot was overflowing at peak hours. Then the y came out and 3s hit the used market and now it's chickenbones and trash thrown all over the lot, retards smoking skunkweed in their cars and blasting music with the windows down and trying to get into fights over slots when they aren't even all full. Fucking nightmare.
>tfw wouldn't even mind the occasional ad if it wasn't pure goyslop made to break the spiritAlso fuck Twitch for not pausing the stream so you always miss something occurring. I always stop watching when that occurs
>>220213326jews.
>>220213734Jews benefit from both, since they both make slaves of the goyim
>>220213706Holy MOTHER of GOY
It's truly unbelievable how much the tech industry has ruined the world. Literally everything bad about the modern world can be tied directly back to it, especially this advertising obliterating every second of our lives.
>>220213385Would you download a car?
>>220219059My work just disabled all adblocking browser extensions. It's genuinely over
>>220213326because fuck you thats why
>>220222077Why the fuck would they do that? My work pre installs ublock for everyone as a security measure.
>>220214227>tipping your gas stationHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>220222833I don't know.. I can only hope it's because they want to focus on a single ewtension instead of "whatever you want" as it used to be...They also disabled the adobe extension that I didn't even realise I had so maybe they're just disabling everything like idiots?
>Streaming service Vaxxed retard detected.
>>220213326Because instead of relying on their back cataloged of older shows, and making a few good quality shows. The streaming company spent hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars acquiring other studios for their back log of shows and movies but also spent hundreds of millions of dollars making a ton of low quality shows full of "woke propaganda". Now they have to make back their money by price gouging and passing the cost onto the customers.>>220213386I pirated movies and t.v. shows before. Won't do that unless I really need to.Only things I pirate are porn and comics/manga and the comics and manga I will eventually buy.
>>220214720>its how they did it with cable.redpill me on this. Is there a point in history when cable had zero ads?
>>220213326>have to because you're a sucker, a sheep, an npc - whatever term you want to use. you don't have a mind of your own or a will. 'have to' lmao

>>220213451*changes ISP*you DO have a competitive ISP market in your area dont you?

>>220213326people are stupid, if you talk about boycotting for things like this they make fun of you for being poor. whatever horrific fate awaits them in the next few years is completely deserved.
>>220213326Because you'll still pay for it, why wouldn't they take more money from a retard?
