YouTube has found a new way to bypass ad blockers by integrating ads directly into video content via "server-side ad insertion," complicating the detection and blocking of ads. How will ad blockers respond?
If what I want to watch is one a platform that I despise so much that I feel I need to whine about it online- and is a platform that takes advantage of people that create content for it to the point that it makes it to headline news articles-
Then no, I’m going to tell you that I’m not stuck at all. Those that feel they have no choice are.
I have enough strength of conviction to not support such a thing because I’m not weak-minded and addicted to watching videos like they are.
I can very easily walk away from anything I feel is hurtful to others, or just plain shitty. Basically, I just find it easy to not support things I hate.
You’d think this would be a simple and popular way to be- but ironically, if you suggest people stop using a shit platform that hosts things they like, like YouTube- they will turn on you in a second- but if you hate something that offers them nothing in return, like Norton Antivirus well… that’s just fine.
