Ads in 1987 if they were like today:
Instead of a 5 minute ad break in the middle of my tv show that has a neat designed arc to fit with the ad break you're hit with an ad interrupting the shows intro hook with the double volume "DO YOU HAVE GIGANTIC FUCKIN HEMORRHOIDS?! WE KNOW YOU DO CAUSE WE HEARD YOU SCREAMING ON THE TOILET, HERE'S SOME ASS CREAM" also you gotta play a game of Simon Says on the remote while it's screaming about your ass or else you're stuck with a 15 minute advert about Clarence who hated life until he creamed his ass every day. Then you gotta do that same shit right as the conclusion happens and another spot in-between with the inbetween one being 30 minutes so if you don't engage with this bullshit you're just stuck watching some other bullshit you never asked to watch.
Shit you not I've had multi hour long adverts that require skipping, tried to watch a vod that hit me with them every god damn 10 minutes about some bullshit.
Lad below sayin he hit the advert zen, I've hit the advert enrage mode man I got adblockers on fuckin everything they can eat my cream free hemorroid laden asshole if they want another femtosecond of my attention.
I hate Youtube ads, I could tolerate them if they weren't stupid ads and at sensible times like I can watch some videos and literally a minute into them I get an ad, sometimes 30 seconds plus sometimes minutes long so I have to manually skip, then literally a minute or two later another 30 seconds at least of ads.
I have had ads longer than the video I am watching.
Does using Firefox on its own actually do anything? Don't you still need to install a browser extension like AdBlock/uBlock (which you can also do on most other browsers)?
Yeah it's just an extension platform but you can run ublock which is still the best adblocker and you can run extensions on your phone too, literally do all my YouTube watching on my phone on Firefox.
Also gotta note, literally every other browser on the web runs on chromium, that means Google owns that shit and can enforce their monopoly shit on them (like banning ublock).
Firefox is the only browser out there that seems to give a fuck about their users these days and that's because they're not part of the monopoly.
