I just updated my adblockers. The internet is a much better place with them on.

I have to update more and more frequently to keep ahead of YouTube though.

Free stuff argument is probably a wash.   I dont want to see their ad crap.  They want to use my bandwidth and document every detail of my life.  

So screw’em.

Lol its toally not a wash. You want to use their multi million dollar servers to access cat videos, learn how to disassemble an sks, use google drive and email account.

They want something from that. Its not calculace. If you dont want "ads taking up ypur bandwidth" you dont use googles hardware backbone or browser.

Now you can make a seperate and completelvald argument about how deceitful they go about hhe terms an scope of data collection, but even thats on you, knowing that and STILL expecting free stuff from them. Youre not robinhood and google is a for profit company.

Google is evil without a doubt but we're all hypocrits for going back to that teat expecting anything less, then complaining about it.

Hur hur hur its my right to cat vids because reason.

They are also intentionally slowing their network and holding off on any expansion to give the narrative that "Net Neutrality" needs to be reinstated. I've noticed it has been getting worse and worse the past 2-3months.

lol..Why are you worried over what everyone else is doing. You are free to watch as many commercials as you like. It’s overdone. Not to mention the data mining.

I’m not concerned at all. It’s just fun to watch GD’s mental gymnastics when they criticize the free shit army and then reveal themselves as just as bad.

I don’t watch commercials on YouTube. Of all the monthly subscriptions for content, the $12 or $14 or whatever it is is worth it from YouTube.

I don't see a moral problem.  Google has Leftist morals that allow some people to steal wealth and rights from others.  That means it is OK to steal for them, at least in the circumstances they choose.  So I am just using brave to 'steal' from THEM in the circumstances I choose.  They should be able to understand and appreciate that.
