MODERATORS
i've had a coworker tell me that it's only fair to watch the ads cos you're getting something free. he was completely sincere about it.
The fall of socialism in Europe has really done a number on people's brains
the key to propagnda is not coming off like an evangelizer (i fail at this frequently). just use moments when they are particularly frustrated with their situation to gently remind them that a solution exists.
I exaggerate, it was once or twice that I brought it up. Really they just don't like switching browsers, which is understandable, but maybe they didn't trust that it's really easy to export bookmarks and passwords and all that from Chrome. Otherwise I'm always recommending NewPipe when people get YT ads on Android, which I found people are more receptive to since NP has so many good, exclusive features and people feel it doesn't require any setup.
They can use uBlock Origin Lite on Chrome, which is better than nothing.
I had to install Lite just the other day after my chromebook finally did a forced shutdown (I haven't turned it off for like a year) and Origin stopped working after restart. For my use case at least, there's zero discernible difference between the two.
Revanced is good too, though they may find hard all the manager thing
One of my relatives doesnt use an adblocker because he said that it makes your web browser slower.
He then downloaded a virus onto his phone after trying to watch anime on online sites.
it does the opposite because you're not loading ads
My parents watch a lot of regular TV and the amount of ads always astounds me as someone who hasn't watched regular TV in many years. Makes me want to quote this screenshot for sure.
Seeing one ad is like hitting your cousin's "max concebtrated" (or whatever) dab rig and getting blown out
i've been dealing with this a lot frequently because my girlfriend loves youtube, and its no problem on pc but the tv has ads every X minutes and its infuriating for both of us. i've got a remote mouse app on our phones, but its clunky to use, so i was considering a wireless usb mouse for that, and then eventually just decided on grabbing a pihole. its in the mail and very soon i'll have no ads in my house whatsoever.
Huge QOL increase. You won't regret it in the slightest. I despise advertisements
For android TV I use smarttubenext has sponserblock integrated
pihole doesn't block youtube ads
i'm just now hearing this for the first time
My PC died and now I'm watching youtube with my brother on his laptop and he doesn't have any adblocker on his google chrome; every video opening with an ad is frustrating
be nice about getting him water and then when he gets up to piss install ublock for him
Google killed uBlock on chrome. You need Firefox now.
uBlock made a lite version for chrome or something.
It works but not as good as the standard one
It works exactly the same on youtube though
I can confirm that uBlock Origin Lite works perfectly on youtube, no difference from standard Origin. Takes a few seconds to install for free.
Looking at their ad infested browser: 
What if I enjoy to see ads like HOT SINGLES IN MY AREA. What then ?
What game? This looks like persona, but ive only.played 4 and 5 so dont recognize it
Persona 3 (the remake). I highly recommend playing through the story at least once.
Rock on!
its fun. got that sort of chic existential millennial aesthetic to it.
Which persona should I play first?
Any is good, except Persona 2: Eternal Punishment (since that's part 2) tbh. 1 and 2 have pretty different gameplay from the newer ones, and they are worth playing.
