I watched two ads just to get rickrolled.

[-] ChuckEffingNorris@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago

Get Sync for Lemmy. Never get rickrolled again!

[-] Levsgetso@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

Sync is nice but I’m on ios. Currently using Avelon and it shows link previews, but only for the site.

It still shocks me every time I encounter people browsing the internet without an ad blocker. Just why?

[-] Valmond@lemmy.mindoki.com 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah I got rickrolled right away.

How would my mom go about easily blocking YouTube ads on her iPhone?

[-] Pontishmonti@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Install AdGuard pro and replace YouTube app with a shortcut to open YouTube in Safari. Adblockers can’t block ads in the app but can in Safari.

This is the way.

She wouldn't, that's why she bought an iPhone, because "it just works!".

[-] null@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago

So then it really shouldn't be too shocking for the person I replied to.

im presuming not many mothers who dont understand the difference between an app and a webpage are on lemmy.

How dare you. No, this one. (Really, though. It's been a while and I wanted to see it again, happy to be of service.)

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/Ex2NB7JsLyA

Wouldn't it have been amazing if you linked to the same video again to troll everyone, and I comment to confirm that it is the right video while the whole time it is not?

Imagine getting Rick rolled by a fucking bot.

And somehow you're scoring downvotes.

Are the bots offended and downvoting now?
