Ads are the memetic equivalent of toxic waste. It's bad enough they're allowed to exist at all, but the notion that they should be permitted to be dumped directly into personal computers is obscene and the idea that it's somehow wrong to prevent this from happening is laughable.
If google wishes to display ads they may do so passively on their own property, and any effort to invade my personal space and mind with this hazardous waste must be both condemned and thwarted by any means necessary.
Obviously ads are bad for the soul and the mind, but please don't be ridiculous, it's very easy to simply not go on YouTube (or if you can't help yourself pay the 13 bucks for premium). It's not like every other aspect of human life and actual public space hasn't been invaded by ads to a much bigger degree, where companies do ostensibly only "passively display ads on their property". Do you walk around ripping off ads from billboards or painting over ads in subway stations?
Oh fuck off. Ads are literal cancer and should be blocked and destroyed every way possible.
Goddamn that sounds dope as fuck, I should start doing this
Yeah do it because that'd be actual praxis instead of bitching about how you can't watch shitty youtube videos without ads
