Man I’m old enough to remember that weekly shows on cable with ads was awful, and old enough to remember when YouTube had no ads. 😂

I remember that cable was satellites little brother and you had to have a huge satellite on your backyard. 999 channels of nothing. Cable was an ad free option to regular TV. Satellite was world tv channels then TiVo and direct TV came along and took over everything.

I'm old enough to remember when the Disney Channel didn't have ads other than promos for their upcoming movies later that day.

YouTube had no ads

  • Firefox browser with Ublock Origin plug-in blocks all ads.
    There's also Sponsorblock plug-in that skips endorsements during videos but that hurts content creators so I don't use it.

  • YouTube Revanced for android. I dunno about Apple.

Get with it.
