i'm fine with it, i pirate shit anyways
frick ads
Have fun going to jail and then hell. I like to keep my karma thx.
>and then hell
see here you clearly out yourself as not knowing what you're talking about.
advertisers are descendants of the snake, of satan himself. their power is to deceive, lie and trick. they've used this power cautiously and carefully, to trick society into the first lie - thinking that being tricked by them is actually good for everyone. this lie has let them run roughshod over the rest of society all this time.
in no version of christianity will you be punished for denying satan purchase upon your life.
As a Christian you are to render unto Caesar that what belongs to Caesar and render unto God that what belongs to God. You may not agree with the laws of the land, but you follow them so long as they don't conflict with God's teachings. That is what makes piracy and thus ad-blocking a sin.
shallow interpretation. acts 5:40–42 has the apostles beaten for preaching the word of god in opposition to the laws of the land. they did not challenge the authority of the local authorities, as god had instructed - they voluntarily accepted their punishment. but, the laws of god supercede the laws of man, so they rightfully persisted in their crime despite this.
if adblocking WERE a crime, it would be morally, ethically, and spiritually right to deny the snake purchase on your life by denying advertisers their presence in your mind and spirit, even if it brought you legal consequences. and if it did, you're bound to accept them.

Low effort bait.

That's metal as frick
i'm pretty sure supporting the same freemason/yakuza/mafia-financed corporations that try to frick you in the ass with drm and censorship is what's going to get you in hell rather than giving them the middle finger.
By supporting capitalism I support freedom. You're not going to thrive in a communist nation. It's people like me who spend money and support their favorite businesses that keep the free and civilized world afloat.
Cool, I’m stealing air. Frick Air israelites

Okay but here's the thing though:

holy giga based.
debunked by the literal definition.
checkmate moron.
So it's technically not piracy if I steal a boat in the harbour?
no, that's clearly distingishuable. it's called theft.
hence we can conclude piracy is not theft.
This definition literally proves OP right. Watching their content without ads by modifying their software = unauthorised.
Here's a little thought experiment to explain why you're wrong: let's say you download an app for a store, and you hack it so you can buy things for free by just blocking certain http requests. Sounds familiar?
It's not their software it's YouTubes and they do not block access to the site for people with an adblocker.
here's where you're wrong:
i'm not circumventing a "subscribe our shitty online newspaper to read more", i am accessing freely available information, decluttered of ads.
i know it's really that simple to not do mental gymnastics.
lmao homie I didn't agree to ANY terms after typing youtube.com into my browser and hitting the enter key lmao seethe more
You actually do, tech illiterate Zoomer.

Show me homosexual. You can't. You fail. Frick your shit. Blockers gonna keep blockin' niiiigga
not the other gay, but you're wrong, blockbro. sorry mate, but it wont stop us from using ublock origin/sponsorblock either way
if you walked into a store and some manager asked you to nod your head to agree with the terms of the store and when you did he started taking money out of your wallet because apperently it's store policy for you to spend all your money on random shit you wouldn't think that would be very legal, would you dipshit
do i agree with that practice? no. Could i go to ablegal battle against the tech giant google? yes. would i win? no, certainly not. legally you agreed by using their "service".

Blocking ads is akin to avoid looking at billboards in the street. And these fricking people are arguing that avoiding looking at fricking ads is a crime. This would be as if a police officer detained you because "you didn't look enough the billboards". It's fricking idiotic. Frick you.
Shrinkwrap TOS are not legally binding in civilized countries. I am not legally required to execute arbitrary code on my computer.
Sorry about anyone living in a prison colony
>buy things for free by just blocking certain http requests. Sounds familiar?
? What was this?
How many times did your parents drop you on your head?
>Watching their content without ads by modifying their software
I bet you think editing the HTML in your browser is "modifying software", too.
>implying
I'm just modifying my own software, my DNS server is my own. The browser I use could eb defined as someone else's software, but certainly not a streaming platform or ad platform's software.
I don't see what's wrong with that either. If an app wants to use MY Internet connection that I pay for to download content into MY computer, you're gonna need my consent. I don't consent to your program downloading ads.
If you are naked in the street everyone can see you for free and without legal repercusions. Block the view if you want privacy israelite.
This.
If I write TOS on my naked ass, can I charge you for looking? Or better yet, is it piracy if you ignore all the ads written across by buttcheeks?
Why do you homosexuals care so much that I don't give a shit about reading some shitty advertisements? How can you look at this webm and tell me that this is acceptable?
what's crazy is this is worst case scenario for ads on a desktop. But on mobile it's 5 thousand times worse. I don't even bother browsing websites on my phone anymore, I tend to carry a laptop.
In my case it's the other way around, I was fearful when changing phones but since you can set up a DNS on android it's an non issue. I do still like to carry a laptop too tho.
FF
on mobile it's significantly slower than competition
but still fast enough on a good phone
you can just normally install uBO
is this how it really is now, I have literally been blocking ads since 2007
That and websites just straight up not even loading if you don't allow at least a dozen of the three dozen off site requests they are trying to load
>Watching their content without ads by modifying their software = unauthorised.
Legally speaking, this is correct. Morally speaking, blocking ads is good. Serving ads is inherently immoral and should be forbidden under severe punishment, as it is a subtle brainwashing attempt an thus infringes my most basic human right of exerting control ovor my body.
the day i take advice from a moronic canadian moose molester that sells out his thrashed out butthole to corporations, is the same day the sun exhausts all of its fuel.

That poor millionaire... does he have a GoFundMe we can donate to?
No refunds
Refusing to download malware that a webshite wants to upload to your user agent is hardly equivalent to downloading "illegal" copies of copyrighted media.
If they want everyone to pay for their videos, and think their content is that great, just put it behind a paywall. Oh, wait...
Didn't they recently release the number of paying morons over at floatplane? Can't remember if it were 4000 or 40000 people either way it'd probably actually work if they did.
it is almost like ecelebs will spout what ever shit gains attention
It already is but who cares? These homosexuals brought it upon themselves and anyone not using umatrix and ublock in $currentYear quite frankly doesn't deserve any better.
Maybe make the ads less obtrusive and obnoxious first. I'll still block them because frick you, but understand there's a reason ad blockers exist.
I'm just blocking untrusted content in general.
If you want me to see your ads, host em yourself.
If adds are how you pay then everytime I see an add I'm being robbed because I didn't agree to pay for anything

Go frick yourself.
If your "business model" is
>Giving away stuff for free in hopes that add revenue breaks you even
and your business model fails because people are getting fed up by the ads, that's your problem, not the problem of the people who accepted your free gift.
Ad revenue is basically a form of income by donations. It's like a store giving things away for free, and after you pick up your free thing the employees ask you firmly to put some cash into the donation box.
OP is a racist and should be banned from this board. Ads indiscriminately target people of color and frequently take advantage of the economical disadvantageous position that many in the black community suffer from. Suggesting that minorities cannot use ad blockers is outrageous and cannot be tolerated by the civilized people of the world.
Who gives a shit?

Best thing about these greentexts is how hard they miss the point and make false equivalences and nonsense hypotheticals that have nothing to do with the concept at hand.
I suppose basement incels have all day to dream up their fantasies though.
while you were typing this post, you could have been watching an advertisement to support your favorite creators
the police are on their way
IQfy has ads, so uh, nice try?
Loser.
Really? I started blocking ads here since JLIST stopped caring about this shithole. A good call since from what I heard asiatic's ads were malicious sometimes.
IQfy is owned by a Japanese toy company so I hope you’re enjoying being datamined.
Nice, I like japanese toys.
Really? My adblocker says it blocked 0 things, and all I see is the board ad banner which isn't really an ad.
Literally bing ads
Lucky me I guess?
Maybe it's cosmetic filtering?
So you're saying big data from telemetry is piracy, too?

Bad analogy because most cities make you pay a bus fee, but okay.
and ISPs make you pay for an internet connection. and plenty of services with ads make you pay for them - cable tv, hulu, etc.
Why the frick would you ever pay for a service that runs ads? My ISP itself doesn't run ads, it's run by subscription.
Just don't fricking pay to watch ads. Most busses have the ads in the top 4 inches of the roof of the bus, you can barely see them, if they're there at all.
>Just don't fricking pay to watch ads.
um excuse me sweaty if you don't pay, you can't watch the ads, and if you don't watch the ads, you're LIT ER ALL Y stealing from the creators
>you can barely see them
EXCUSE ME if you do not go out of your way to read each ad, you are LITERALLY STEALING from the helpless graphic designers and ad networks who worked hard to make the ad graphics for you. you don't get to just CHOOSE not to view them honey
I pay for my content if I deem it worthy of my money. If I'm not throughly entertained on the regular, I don't fricking pay for it. Ever.

there, fixed it
Does it say anywhere that a real person has to spend the exact running time of the ad watching the ad? Instead of that my adblocker's script has seen the ad in 0.01 seconds, identified it as an ad which proves that it actually looked at it and deemed it as seen so I don't have to watch it myself. Double watching ads would be pirating too as the advertiser would get 2 views for the price of one.
Tl;dr if adblocker script watches the ads for me, I don't have to watch them myself. Nowhere does it say that ads should be watched by real human beings.
Sorry you feel that way. I'm gonna do it anyway.
>be aware of the impact
Yeah, no. I can sense corpo-speak and that just makes me want to make ublock use even stricter filters.
hey look it's this fricking thread again
I'm stealing so much every day from him, but I'm doing it by simply not watching his shit at all. That's gotta be tens of thousands he's not earning because of me, and I can tell you right now it's great to be the cause of such 100% legal pain!
Not™ My™ Problem™™
Linus is homosexual even if he have kid and wife. It doesn't matter.
One day these guys will have to get normal jobs again and many of them will neck.
Oh you mean like all the employees that left to go work at Intel, Nvidia, Adobe, Newegg, Amazon etc
You fricking moron, there’s thousands of jobs out there for production crews, video editors, graphic designers, project managers, inventory and warehousing, testers etc.
>Piracy: getting something without paying
That's not the definition of piracy
I'm going to prison for piracy because I was trying out the tasters in the supermarket deli.

What’s the relevance of this?
People can express whatever they like as long as it’s positive.

it is HIV and monkeypox positive
Who is that? What a fricking homosexual lmao

This bridge was burned forever with shady as frick advertising networks letting people just host viruses on their shit.
The future of advertising is raid shadow legends.
Motherfricker has bought a complete machining shop to do silly cpu disipators and is crying he doesnt get enough cash. Like if he wasnt growing fast enough.
>Piracy: getting something without paying
I got my degree without paying
did I pirate it?
Nope because you/your parents/your countrymen pay taxes.
False equivalence.
Not a false equivalence in any way, that was the definition given. If you want to use another definition take it up with Linus.
i block ads
i block sponsor spots
i pirate all of my media
i do not care if this is considered stealing or not, i am not going to pay you if i do not have to. ads and drm are just iq tests that only a complete brainlet couldn't pass. have fun working for free linus.
Oh no, my life is ruined
None of these content "creators" deserve money anyways
ads are malware because they induce unwanted pc behavior
I have never seen this thread before.
my browser asks for content, server gives something and then i have the freedom to pick what i want to.
if the "content creators" want to prevent removing shit, then fricking burn it in to the main content and such, or just fricking frick off
>burn it in to the main content
*SponsorBlocks you're shilling*
heh nothin personnel
They already do, and it was already defeated.
Not defeated on Twitch.
genuinely don't understand why anybody would regularly watch streams. last time i even attempted it i'm pretty sure the twitch ads defeated ublock so i closed the window and never went back.
Good point. I don't really watch much of that anymore, but I imagine with enough delay you could have something like Sponsorblock stopping the stream when it detects an ad starting and resuming after.
You can pipe Twitch, no site ads that way. To my knowledge there is nothing that stops baked in ads yet.
>Doesn't know about TTVLOL
>spoonfeeding morons so it gets more awareness which will result in it getting patched just so you can jerk yourself off on an anonymous imageboard where nobody knows who you are

They've already circumvented adblockers multiple times. It's also easier when you can flat out read the adblockers source code.

Advertisement is theft. They are stealing my bandwidth without my consent. I never clicked a box agreeing to be shown ads.

Why is this a discussion.
Regardless if he is right or wrong, just keep using adblocks or not, nobody cares.
Even if it is piracy you don't need to make excuses for it. Just do it.

dont care not turning adblock off
i pay for youtube premium, ama
Linus took out a 10+ million dollar loan for a run-down building that requires millions of dollars worth of renovations. All of this so he can continue to make more YouTube videos... which is what he was already doing. His entire company has become bloated with runaway costs and useless employees, all while there is a coming global recession. Of course he is paranoid about ad revenue; his business is about to go breasts up.
Good. Frick that homosexual.
the latest video about the new building is genuinely hilarious. the old tenants removed some safety rails and all the doorknobs on their way out and he's left seething about it on his podcast. not as funny as him spending 10k on smart switches then finding out that iot smartshit doesn't work as intended. his sperg outs are funny. i've literally never seen an ad on his channel and i dodge the sponsor spots too btw, suck my dick linus.

funny that he's comparing ad blocking to piracy as if it's actually going to shame anyone into turning off the blocker. i know i am preventing """influencers""" and """content creators""" from getting paid by blocking their ads and i don't care. get back to work b***h, i need more background noise.
I'm amazed you still get this many (You)s out of this shitty bait, Jay.
Piracy is taking my physical property and sharing it as I please, and other people doing the same. If you have a copy, it is yours. It does not matter who made it. Am I not allowed to make a copy of a table I bought for a friend? Anyone who b***hes is expecting to be filthy rich for working in a field that contributes absolutely fricking nothing to society.
Likewise for ads. You paid to host some data on the internet, and now you want to receive money while you kick back and do nothing? Sorry, I think you meant to go into stock trading. If that data was worth money then people would pay just to see it.
this. intellectual "property" is a made-up, non-sensical political agenda rather than genuine property rights
Everyone needs to block ads and send LTT to bankruptcy
Frick of, copyright gayot.
>No, you must not complain or evade my rent-seeking behavior!!!
copyright gays
If anything, using an AdBlock is good for the advertisers. If I see an ad for a product, I am far less likely to purchase it because I hate ads.
>Adblocking is piracy
nice
Yes, and? The cause of piracy is and has always been a service problem.
not my problem im still pirating software as i can until i hoarding them
>Piracy: getting something without paying
How is that bad?
If the only way to profit from something is to include mind-rape then you can't expect people to feel bad about avoiding it
don't care, didn't ask, gonna continue doing what I do best - not paying for anything
No. Payment is agreed upon by the advertiser and the content host, and then by the content host and the content creator. There is no agreement that I watch the ad. The content host provides it for free and if the content creator has a problem with that he can take that up with the content host or go somewhere else.
yes and? i support piracy
Yes.
What's this homosexual going to do about it?
Hey friends, something you may not have thought about is that our transisters in the content creator community may be days away from joining the 41% because they can't pay their bills. Please, please, PLEASE make sure you turn off your adblocker when watching marginalised content creators as you never know when they're ready to suck start a shotgun. And between us girls, let;s face it you can go without a pumpkin spiced latte for just one (1) day this week right?! haha
is this guy's whole goal just to be the most insufferable homosexual imaginable?
Do you need to have this thread EVERY SINGLE DAY?
Online websites and creators are supported by tracking and selling my information using scripts which run on my computer without my knowledge and without my explicit approval.
FTFY
I fricking hate that moron
All he does is watch and make stupid sóygrins while his servants with actual skills act as his clowns, so he can act like a clown to the camera
Literally, if he retired, nothing of value would have been lost from his channels.
I own nothing and I am happy
Not sure who that girl is but I am getting a boner and I must do what must be done.
He passes by my house with his dog everyday. I'm going to punch him in the stomach for his. Hit those who do not know, he's literally a little b***h with a big mouth and ego and people generally do not like him.
I don't care.
If your method of monetization makes is unacceptable I will work around it if possible. I expect online video content to be free, especially when it's cheap "entertainment" and shilling like what so called "influencers" like LMG creates.
I'm actually considering paying for Nebula because so many good creators are on there and create actually high quality stuff there and it's a many for the price of one type of deal too, unlike patreon.
Monetization requires incentive, "just watch the shitty ads" is not an incentive. DRM is not an incentive. Gambling on whether an album, movie, game, book etc is any good is not a good incentive. This is why streaming, legal or otherwise became popular, easy, risk free, no bullshit access to content.
Piracy is good. IP is fake and gay. Linus cuck should get a real job if he's a b***h about it
How the frick is ad blocking piracy?
You are stealing money from him specifically and he really needs the money.
Doesn't he put ads in his own videos? The sponsored by section?

But ads request access from my computer and my computer denies them. How is that Piracy?
> You are stealing money from him
I'm pretty sure I'm just blocking an advertisement. I'm not taking money from anyone, I'm not a Black person.
i would steal food right off that homosexual's table if i could do it by clicking buttons on my computer, so it's gonna be pretty damn hard to convince me to feel bad for blocking his ads and sponsor segments on the off chance i do accidentally load a page with his trash on it
Using the internet without an ad blocker is like fricking a prostitute without a condom. Prove me wrong.
