You wouldn't be taking Google to court, but your employer and/or school. And sure you can say fuck YouTube, but going back to whether or not you should have a right to deny ads...at the moment I would say no, since there isn't a need for it to be a right yet.

> since there isn't a need for it to be a right yet My time is worth quite a bit for me, as is the hygiene of what goes on in my skull and advertisers are way too good at making people that think they are immune to that shit do their bidding. You too. Adblocking is a mental health thing, not a commercial thing.

  > My time is worth quite a bit for me, Sure you keep saying this, but then you are not willing to put in the work to not see ads and save that time. That's why it doesn't need to be a right. Because you could do something about it to help yourself and don't want to.

    > Sure you keep saying this, but then you are not willing to put in the work to not see ads and save that time. You are probably misunderstanding something because I do put in that work and I don't have any ads in my life. In spite of G's best efforts to force them on me.

      I'm not misunderstanding anything, but I do think you are maybe forgetting earlier parts of the discussion. Earlier in the discussion I suggested software you can setup that "is a bit more work", but allows you to download and stream back YouTube videos without ever having to see any ads. You said you don't do that work because you don't feel the need. That's the work to which I am referring. But if you already are ad free, then that's exactly why it doesn't need to be a right. You have no need to use YouTube at all, and if you do you can already do so ad free, it just requires some work.
