uBlock Origin doesn’t work on radio, but it’s been a long time since I’ve had to endure ads on YouTube.
Ikr? If they still complain about YouTube ads the suffering can't be that bad or they would finally install a fucking ad blocker.
a LOT of people have no idea how any of that works. And I don't shit on them, I help them. Sometimes I install uBlock on people's computers without telling them because if I told them then whenever their printer stops working it would be my fault, but they often get surprised after a while like, huh I don't get ads anymore that's weird and great...
Last person I helped install Firefox+uBlock on their phone went back to the YouTube apps in no time, as far as I understand they just liked the app better. Evidently a lot of people don't mind ads that much, which is ludicrous to me.
Now I'm picturing a Russian immigrant named Ublick Orekhov who sits silently by the living room radio and turns the volume down when an ad comes on.
VPNs with DNS level blocking like Mullvad gets around ads on most podcasts for me. I don't pretend to know how that works, but it does.
When it doesn't I get ads from Papua New Guinea, which I don't mind because I don't understand what the fuck they're saying and it sounds funny.
