Streaming Sector Determined to Become Just as Shitty as 1990s Cable

  Not streaming precisely but I finally gave up and got YouTube Premium because the ads were getting unbearable and I know it gets a bit of money to the creators, who certainly deserve some, unlike ad blockers.

    I’ll just stop using YouTube and it will be better for my health.

      Can confirm, gave up Google Search + Gmail about 6 months ago and it's literally improved my performance at work. It's impressive what is missed out on when an ad is papered over everything you read.

        My experience of YouTube was transformed. I can watch a group of videos and they just run right after each other. The worst was when somehow I would get one of the 1 hour videos and I wouldn't realize it until several minutes were done.

    Yesterday I finally stopped paying for YouTube Premium because the ad blockers stopped working on the devices I don't log into my Google account. Oh well.
