why is $8/m not enough for them to remove all ads? do they really make that much back from you?

Does it matter, if they can get your $8/month, plus some ad revenue? You don't last long in the C-suite if you're not interested in perpetual profit growth.

If you're on desktop, use ublock origin and sponsor block. If you're on Android, use tubular ( https://github.com/polymorphicshade/Tubular ). It has no ads, built-in sponsor block and allows you to download videos and play them in the background for music. If you're on Android TV, use Smart Tube ( https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube ). It basically has the same features as above, but with a TV-friendly UI. If you'r…

If you can't differentiate between things like "you should hate another country" (propaganda) vs things like "you should know about this product" (ad), I don't know what to tell you.

One is nationalist propaganda, the other is capitalist propaganda. Both are propaganda.

> If you're on iOS, consider switching to an OS where a big corp doesn't control what software you can run. Sure! I literally just picked up a new Razr 2025 last night. Out of the box, its built in “device pulse” application sideloaded another 15 apps out of the box I never asked for, consented for, or wanted, ranging from scammy games to garbage like Tiktok and Pintrest. I didn’t get to say “no” to those application…

Did you buy from Morotola or from a phone/service vender like TracPhone? I've had several Moto's in the recent past and they had a couple of light weight utilities but nothing like what you're describing. It sounds like carrier crapware.

How does Tubular compare to PipePipe ( https://github.com/InfinityLoop1308/PipePipe ). Both seem to be forks of NewPipe + SponsorBlock, but PipePipe seems like it might be a bit more active.

I'm not sure, to be honest. Haven't heard of PipePipe before!

Yo, Dawg. I heard you like pipes in your pipes…

For sure. If only people paid eh?

My empathy for the evil megacorp making slightly less profit is limited.

It's justified only if evil = not doing things for free.
