Final Flame in that thread stanning for Google is some distinguished shit. Doesn't he know where he is? This ain't it, chief. I use Brave browser, ublock origin, NordVPN and Vanced. Haven't seen an ad in years.
I don't feel even the slightest bit bad. Ads are for normies and NPC's. They increase data usage, slow my device, advertise shit i don't care about, and potentially give an avenue for malware or viruses to get in.
Just did a quick search:
In the most recently reported fiscal year, Google's revenue amounted to 181.69 billion US dollars.
"Bu bu bu bu but YouTube doesn't make money!"
Fuck off.
