The mother fucking nanosecond you start blocking me from watching your content because I have an ad blocker is the moment I sit here and just rip every each and every single mother fucking video I want to watch to view entirely offline. Given you've tried and failed for a decade now to stop us from doing that I trust it'll solve both our needs, you won't have me blocking your ads, and I won't need to ever see em. Savvy? Savvy!

With a level of spite indescribable,

Me.

Edit: For those whining about my entitlement: QQ more idc.

Edit 2: Ya'll still commenting and downvoting a week later while I haven't thought about any of you at all lmao. Rent free!

I mean... 'oh no a person who doesn't watch our ads is going to not watch our ads'

Not sure they'll care about the 'loss''

Now it's "a person who doesn't watch our ads isn't using up bandwidth"

Then they logically wouldn't have cared about the adblock in the first place...? Although I'm intending to go back to doing the same and it's not about whether I make them sad or not. It's a quality of life thing.

I mean they care about adblock because it blocks their ads... They don't expect people to know beyond just using adblock

They don't care. You cost them money.

Don't wait! We need to all start ripping videos and sharing in torrents. We have to back up all the educational quality videos.

Just like with shows / movies, it's time to start hoarding because things will only get worse.

Oh trust me my 30TB of HDD's and ADHD already got started on the data hoarding front many a year ago. Haven't had a paid subscription to anything since Netflix in 2014 lmao.

30tb doesn’t even cover the movies in my library, let alone TV, YouTube, etc. Get ripping son

[–] GeekFTW@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Soon as I find a sugarmama to buy my broke ass some new HDD's I will 🤣

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Any tools available for ripping cataloging youtube videos ala sonarr?

[–] baggins@beehaw.org 10 points 1 year ago

undoubted millions of youtube videos over the last 17 years

4 million would be just over 644 videos watched every single day for each one of those 17 years.

I salute your dedication.

I'm having a bad, bad, day

It's about time that I get my way

Streaming whatever I see

oh, indescribable me

I’m having a bad, bad, day

If you block my ad blocker that's not okay

Watch, this is so fun to see

oh, indescribable me

[–] SeaTurtle1122@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Oh no, YouTube has been losing money on you for 17 years, they’re gonna be so sad.

[–] Tagger@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

How can you feel this level of entitlement - surely you should just be grateful for the 17 years and millions of videos you have been able to watch for free?!?!

[–] Tagger@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

qq more yourself - you are the one bitching about a company not subsidising your free-loading ass.
