I gave up with ad blockers etc years ago as I am aware I am the product. Though recently I have noted a significant increase in advertising on YT. It will interrupt some live streams and is regularly at the start of anything I watch. The most recent update to the phone app has advert, 4 large shorts, advert, then a video I might watch then more shorts. I have already given up on most social sides of the internet, wont be long before I also stop the video watching as the shorts are just annoying and constantly pushed in my face the adverts are just becoming an annoying distraction. Thankfully I have my own website, with my own hosting so I'm in control of my email etc. |

I don't use or have anything to do with the Woke/China/Google/Corp junk, but for a long time I have been using Bing to search for and watch videos. No ads just FYI. OT: If something like a DVD does not allow bypassing the intro/warnings I return it to the store and refuse to watch it. NO excuse for that, will not tolerate. |
