It makes sense. I have not watched regular TV in years, because it's not worth it with the ads. I have not watched any streaming services either, because I am not paying for more then one subscription for my content and that might as well be a VPN.
I still watch lots of youtube though. But with an adblocker. Obviously. Everyone I know uses it and some of them don't use adblockers. They are the truly cursed wretches in this whole insane calculus.
Couldn't imagine using the real youtube site / app. Revanced gets rid of the homepage, thumbnails, shorts, ads, and automatically skips sponsorships.
