The moment they actually succeed in forcing ads on me, is the moment where I simply stop watching. Ads have become so frequent, so distracting, and so dangerous (scams, malware, disinformation) that they are pushing the world – not even just the internet – to the brink of destruction as more and more outrageous shit gets manufactured in the hope for clicks.

I will never pay for YouTube and I will NOT visit any site with ads. I do, however participate in patreons and other methods of paying creators.
