And of course, the video was preempted by an AI slop ad of a talking monkey wearing a neck brace.

Use Firefox + uBlock Origin on desktop and on mobile. Only watch YouTube via Firefox. Never see these bullshit ads again.

Currently adblocking is winning the war of the technical evolution of control vs. resistance.

Shoutout to Revanced patcher if you'd like an app equivalent with the same level of customization

And VacuumTube for an app like experience on HTPC's, linux based set top boxes, as well as MacOS and windows or linux based tablets.

Edit: added hyperlink to projects github page.

Sounds better than the fucking singing purple llama I get all the time ruining a song from Dirty Dancing by changing the ‘I’ to ‘AI’.

‘AI had the time of my life’ doesn’t even make sense!

It is literally AI taking time out of of your life, I don't see how that doesn't make sense to you.
