Okay, that was the single greatest post-roll ad transisition in the history of videos, ever.
***** I didn't know you watch Linus! Good to see you Ant! :)

True hey antvenom when are you gona do a video with caveman gizzard sky and basher. Like in ur next video do a minecraft Hexxit series

I will always use adblock. If all ads were like on reddit for example then fine but 99.99% of ads are annoying and/or scams/viruses/malware/spyware. For this reason I see no logical incentive to stop using it and no, I don't feel guilty at all.
I think that if you put malicious/annoying ads on your site, you are the one that should feel guilty, not us.
Yes
+everest108 there is a problem with that...some sites wont work and there is a glitch that like you dont have adblock but site says "turn of adblock"
+Samuel Lakatoš Personally for me it depends on the site. Sites that I frequent that don't run annoying ads, I keep it disables, but if I'm on a site like TPB or the like I keep it enabled. On top of that I do keep it disabled on UA-cam as I don't actually find UA-cam ads that annoying, even the unskippable ones.
+everest108 then whitelists the other sites. I also use adblock. But i whitelists all sites that i enjoy and trust.
+Kevin Uchiha That's exactly what I do.
That was the best Segway in any LTT video ever, bar none. Good job Linus!

Running ads at the end of the video is great for the viewer. I wonder if companies pay less for those types of ads.
Yes they do but that's a trade off that makes sense to us.
Techquickie As Linus mentioned in one of the WAN shows, I don't really get why people complain about ads after the video. Before the video is much worse.
Techquickie I don't get why. Denying the content behind a timer makes me hate their company. The well done proper promotions at the end of the video actually intrigue me.
For example, I don't really have a use for Freshbooks right now, but I bookmarked anyway, since it seems useful. You can bet I wouldn't have even thought about doing so with an annoying pre-roll.
Techquickie imbedded ads at the end are certainly not an issue. The reason I run adblock is mostly because the ads aren't relevant. So many times I got car insurance ads when I wasn't running adblock that I just got fed up. I'm blind, I don't need car insurance. Or a lot of things that are advertised. I watch the adverts you put in and have considered a few courses on Lynda because of you guys.
Eric Lin Yes.
I don't dislike ads, my only problem is with disruptive ads.
Same here. I understand that ads are the ones that pay for the operation and maintenance of the website/servers, but some ads really push the limits of annoyance. I click one, just one, button and maybe five pop ups show and there were times that pop ups contain more pop ups. There should be a committee that will regulate these ads. A simple picture or text could be tolerable, but not those pop ups.
Fucing ads that you dont care about like
Care level: -infinit
Or 15 sec ads that arent skipable
The guy who invented adblock should get a Nobel award. I fucking love it and not disabling it no matter how many youtube channels fall.

***** This has never happened to me.
I have never bought anything directly because of an ad online..
And if anything, particularly intrusive ads have the opposite affect. I am less likely to buy a product with annoying ads.
Not the point of ads. When you think of cars, what do you think of? When you think of candy bars, sodas, fast food restaurants, what do you think of?
For every one of those, you thought of something. Because you thought of something, the ad succeeded. It is not to make you buy something immediately but to make you think of those products when you decide you want something.
I am thirsty. What do you want? Maybe a coke.
I want to grab a quick bite. I heard checkers is having a deal.
I need a new car. Those Mercedes sadans look great!
You know what you are not thinking of? Polaris cars, Jones soft drink, VU+. Products that may or may not be good but you will never know because they rarely advertise.
i will now assault your mind with subliminal messaging!!
but that aside, i do occasionally see adds of games or movies i otherwise may not have heard of. or see a product i think is cool. or hey, sometimes the add is interesting or half decent to watch.
I think I have to agree with "PeskyCanadian", due to the way I remember things by linking memory:
See a drink ad? Cola -> relaxed -> want action -> drinks soda in GTA -> play GTA
car ad? Car -> Driving -> action -> Travel -> RPG or racing game
cat food ad? Cat -> Khajiit -> Skyrim
loan money ad? Economy -> spreadsheet -> EVE Online or the X space games (X Rebirth/X3 Reunion)
game ad? Any game will do
Because of entertainment level: Learning < Gaming.
Only thing that outweight Gaming is Learning & Entertainment, only time I break over to gaming then are annoying ads that distract me from having a fun learning experience online.
In short, any ad I see usually stops me from watching LinusTechTips and start gaming instead, and with that miss that next video I could have given a like.
Whitch I guess is both good and bad depending on point of view, and me? I have fun nonetheless.
ok. U saw a trailer as an ad for an upcoming movie and then bought a ticket, dvd, blu ray, netflix, etc.
As soon as you can garantee that these braindead adservers stop spewing malware, I'll consider removing adblocking. This is not about paying content creators. This is like publishing you bank data with content creators promising no one will abuse that.
It's on you, the content creators, the websites operators and the adservers to weed out malware. As long as you don't, ads get blocked. It's as simple as that.
And not have legitamently over 20 ads in a under half hour video
well said my man, well said
Its not on the content creators, they are literally held RANSOM by this system. They would love to fuck ads right off and charge an upfront $3 a month etc.
Now days adblock has setting that lets website show non intrusive ads. Intrusive = Annoying audio streams, pop up ads, half the page ad banner etc.
exatcly, this isnt about avoiding eye sores of ads polluting the webpages i visit, its about protecting MY computer from viruses that could destroy my computer in one click, THEY are the ones shoving computer destroying ads in my face and until that changes i will have NO shame in not giving them the average 1-2 dollars they get per visit in order to protect my 1200 dollar computer
ADblock is the best thing ever invented
@@suomi5454 Easy... You need to make "Duckduckgo" your main search engine from now one.... Use Firefox as your browser and intergrade DuckDuckGo by going to Duckduckgo.com.. This search engine NEVER tracks you and never stores anything you've been searching on the web.... It also eliminates all the bullshit ads that you get with google when searching an gives you the results upfront instead! Make sure in install "Adblock Ultimate" and "Adblocker for UA-cam" as plugins for Firefox and you're all good!
Yeah no income for creators.......while you watch this video for free and don't give a cent to support the creator. Will be laughing in a few years when you non-creators don't see your favorite youtube channels anymore because you were idiots who thought you could get everything for free.

Russ , you paying your 75 dollars a month goes to your ISP, not the content creators / Ad persons wallet. Complaining about your price of internet has very little to do with blocking ads.
Don't sit on the fence bro ;)
Hey here's a thought: Don't want people using AdBlock (like myself), then stop making ads so fucking intrusive!! Especially the type of ads that link themselves in random words in message boards and pop up every time you scroll.
Definitely. That's why Adblock has their "appropriate ads" campaign. Trying to encourage advertisers to create non intrusive ads so that they aren't a nuisance to users and still make money.
+ECDT1089 THOSE LINK ADS drove me NUTS when they were first introduced years ago... I went insane thinking that my household computers had been infected with Adware I couldn't find.
And in the middle of the video that really annoys me
+ECDT1089
you forgot the following ad types
skippable video ads
non-skippable video ads
animated banners
screen following banners
click triggered pop ups
click triggered pop unders
click triggered redirects
fake download buttons
fake play buttons
misleading banners
and many others that i cant be bothered to type
Skippable video ads are a necessity for youtube though... and unskippable ones should be okay as long they're not over 15s. The vast majority of UA-cam revenues come from video ads.
Why is this in my recommended after Linus called us pirates.
Fun Fact: When this video was made the revenue of LTT was greatly depended on AdSense and other kind of Google adds(if there any other kind of, ofc). Now, since LTT has grew up significantly LTT can easily makes money from other sources such as sponsored contents, merch and etc.
TLDR: It makes more sense for Linus in this video to call using adblocks piracy than today's Linus.
I didn't understand any of that. LTT? ofc? TLDR? Linus?
If it's not worth your time to expand acronyms, your comments will fly over the heads of a lot of your target audience.
@@DownhillAllTheWay ok boomer

came here after the whole "adblock is piracy" thing
I'd rather support my favorite youtubers with patreon or something than watch repetitive stupid ads
Agreed. I'm much more likely to support my favorite content creators if they offer me the ability to support them willingly rather than shove 2 minutes worth of repetitive and potentially dangerous ads down my throat for a 30 second clip.
You can get an extension that will make those stupid ads related to you, then you don't have to be one of those bitches who use adblock.
FinnishArmy
I have never been more proud to use adblock than right now thanks to your comment... c:
Thats probably why more and more youtubers remove ads and include in video ads (e.g Loot Crate is a popular video sponsor), or patreon links. I dont mind ads, but the way most youtube ads work are pretty intrusive and bothersome, so I generally have ad block on, apart from marathons on my favourite channels.
Great content will always make money.
why i use adblock:
1. ads are usually disruptive and intrusive to the point where it lowers the quality of the website
2. ads usually contain scams and viruses
3. i also dont support the practice of profiting off of showing people malicious ads
4. some ads are inappropriate to show to younger people
5. advertisers make about 10 cents per person who see their ad so one person disabling their adblocker really wont make a difference anyway
6. i paid for my internet and ill do what i want with it
once the internet stops having ads like the ones i described in reasons 1-4 i wont have a need for adblock anymore, but until then i will have NO shame using adblock wherever i go. its the advertisers own fault im doing this
what ad blocker do you use?
@@MariButters i use the "AdBlock - best ad blocker" and its pretty reliable, you can block out whatever you want from a webpage and even configure it to automatically block other annoyances like social media buttons, although i also couple it with a popup blocker as adblock dosent seem very good at blocking popups on its own
I'l'*, It's*

funny i get this recommended to me now
Here I have the solution for you, this might blow your mind but it's actually pretty simple. DONT MAKE OVER BEARING, UNSKIPPABLE, INTENTIONALLY HARD TO CLOSE, VIRUS RIDDEN ADS.
viruses in ads is the reason i will never EVER disable adblockers
I bet peaple who have too many ads probably find it impossible to clean there computer and just scrap it ads are there to destroy you hard earned computer I had a computer and the ads kept piling on till my computer was really slow and sluggish and I got annoyed once you clean and computer quickly downloaded this adblock and tell everyone about it you know because this saves your computer from dying
I use Ad-Block Plus as well, and it's been a blessing in disguise not to have ads shoved in my face. As far as virus go, the last virus protection program I had was "Vipre Antivirus". but I'm not paying nearly 30 bucks each subscription. I got rid of my anti-virus, and I haven't had a single virus since, which tells me the virus' are coming from the actual Anti-virus companies, to make you think the programs they're charging you reoccurring payments for, are doing their jobs! I don't care what this Corporate owned terrorist Government calls it, I CALL IT CORPORATE TERRORISM, and they should be treated as such!
I like how sites will tell you outright turn ad-block off before we let you view the site. I've found those websites to be the ones with the worst ads, and generally find another of the thousands of sites that offer the same content, but will allow me to use adblock. I specifically keep my ad-block off for YT, and a couple other sites I use regularly because the ads aren't over the top. I'll gladly watch (or more like go pee, get food, etc) a 30 second ad to support channels I like.
Funimation
That's why I use script blocker, so I can choose who and why they get through to me.
nowadays ads are pretty ridiculous on yt tho. I definitely dont want to watch 30 seconds or more of ads, maybe even several times per video, every time i click on a video
@@deathhog Script blocker? Why don't you just use a JS whitelist instead of what seems like an add-on?
I deactivated AdBlock on UA-cam a long time ago.
+DevilsCookies Same. I figure if I'm enjoying the content, they deserve the ad revenue. It's no worse than the ads you get on mainstream TV in most cases, and some of the film/game trailers are pretty cool to watch anyway.
+DevilsCookies good decision my friend
+DevilsCookies I would do it, but watching an hour long video, that includes 8 or 10 30s -1 minute ads, is really not an opinion.
+Veikka Hautala Never had an ad over 30 seconds that was not skippable after 5 seconds, you have a virus if it's anything above 35 seconds, and you might want to seek help on your computer.
Skripty Resources I know a lot about computers, even built my own gaming PC a month ago, so i am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with it.
I don't know if it has anything to do with what country you live in, but at least here in Finland the ads are almost everytime 30s to 1 minute, with usually no skip button and if there is, you'll have to wait for 10 to 15 seconds before you can skip, and when there are 5-10 ads in half hour video, it drives me absolutely crazy. I see enough ads while i watch TV, i want to be ad free at least in youtube.
im shocked he didnt just say its piracy. Weird how his opinion seemed to change as he started to get paid from ads
Fun Fact: When this video was made the revenue of LTT was greatly depended on AdSense and other kind of Google adds(if there any other kind of, ofc). Now, since LTT has grew up significantly LTT can easily makes money from other sources such as sponsored contents, merch and etc.

+UnturnedMedia Also I have youtube adblocker as well
I don't wanna sit through some annoying adds and I am white pal
How am i rasict if I just told you my race
+UnturnedMedia Same here i hate ads plus they only get paid when ppl click on the ads so if i had no adblock i would still not click on them. the logic is this why would they care if ppl use adblock. that means that those ppl hate ads and wouldnt click on them anyways. if i need some product i will look for it my self i dont need an ad to tell me what to buy or get.
+UnturnedMedia he is just a troll and he is the racist
The risk of drive-by installs of malware is great enough to tip the balance in favor of blocking all ads. Because even saintly service providers do not have have 100% control over what kind of ads they get and malvertizing is a growing problem.
So I would much rather have a system like here where there are baked in ads that are free of malware.
Almost all the ad placements online these days are done automatically through a bidding process and ad content networks. That's how you end up with a message from the queen sitting next to a porn star on an adult entertainment site or something similar.

*damn good idea man*
"mom? why are there so many empty bill boards next to the road?"

I am a crazy scientist madman who made adblock a real thing. Now to- AAAAAH, WHERE IS MY WIFE!
I can't help but notice that you didn't mention the fact that you can whitelist sites so their ads aren't blocked. If a site doesn't have annoying ads (like reddit), I whitelist them. If they still have the absolute worst ads imaginable (and potentially dangerous), they stay blocked. It's that simple.
You really should mention whitelisting! It's the perfect balance.
I don't get invasive or harmful ads from random pages I visit, and I simply tell Adblock not to block ads on my favourite sites so the still get revenue.
I'll use 3 adblockers and Ghostery until the day I die.
Then you'll steal until the day you die, you idiot
zade elrod who the fuck cares? I’ll steal until the day I die if I have to watch ads.
@@zade9786 nope. He paid his Internet and his device. If you didn't came Clear with Mr. Google before making your Website, then is only your fault and only your problem.
Only one adblocker is enough. The other two will just slow down your browser, as they do exactly the same thing as the other two.
I would pick uBlock Origin as it is lightweight and libre software.
I would also use Privacy Badger instead of Ghostery for this reason.
@@zade9786, using an adblocker is not stealing. Blocking ads is legal.
Sponsorships. If companies want to advertise, they use sponsorships. Because I am sick and tired of:
>Loud unskipable prerolls, especially when irrelevant to the video I am trying to watch
>Multiple ad popups
>Struggling to run HD video but the ad loaded perfectly in HD quickly
>Noisy or flashy ads, especially when you can't mute or stop the video
>Ads which intrude on the space of the website
>Ads which take so long to load the page times out
>Pop ups (unfortunately they haven't got rid of the "Join our mail list" or "Like us on Facebook" shit yet)
>Malicious ads that actually put software you don't wnat on your computer
>Trying to download and seeing 10 different download links, and the real link being the least obvious
>Ads, typically the type mentioned above, that fool less conscious people into clicking on them and installing the software
>etc etc
When ad makers improve their game, I may consider not using adblock. I don't give a shit aobut website maintenance and server costs, get your shitty, obnoxious, deceptive, malicious ads out of our face. We use the internet for the content, with ads on the side. Our experience shouldn't be hindered with *BUY THIS!!!!! CLICK THIS LINK!!!!!* That should not be what we use the internet for or the main experience. Advertisers need to make us want their product, not simply have the loudest, most annoying ad. And the fact that ads allow malicious people with malicious intent? No, I use adblock, no regrets.
UA-cam: double ads, unskipable ads, 30 seconds ads.
Also youtube: *why are you people using adblock?*
so true
Yo I'm here after Lines confused ad block with piracy. Yall don't think we're pirates right?
This is so funny after the recent linus adblock controversy 😂

+Cecil Holstein That's actually not how it works on UA-cam at all. On many websites it may work like that, but it works on a completely different system bases upon views of the add, and how long viewers watched the add.

+Widdly Skuds same here. i used my friends chrome the other day and was like "what are these pictures all over the page" haha

Whats wrong with using all my data to push content i didn't ask for and don't even relate too onto my screen and blasts my ears without my permission? Oh nothing.
because you wanted to get the content for free when somebody had to put effort into creating it and would like to have a meal once in a while?
+mostamazingmatt You give them permission as soon as you access the website/video. It is up to the consumer to decide if a product or service is right for their needs. If you don't agree with the practices of a product or service then simple cease consuming/using it. If you are reluctant to do so, then most likely the product/service you are receiving is worthy of your current form of payment.
I use "adblock" on UA-cam., and it's NOT because I don't want ads. I'm 61 years old, I'm used to ads on free content (TV, Radio). So i have NO PROBLEM with ads, my problem is the RANDOMNESS of the placement. Usually, UA-cam will toss an ad IN THE MIDDLE of the sentence of what the "UA-camr" is saying, BREAKING THE "FLOW". Ads on "ordinary" TV or Radio have HUMANS who break content at NATURAL breaks. This is why I don't mind ads that are IN THE CONTENT...
Linus is sooo freaking smooth with the sponsor spots xD
These advertisers are getting more and more crafty.. I have Adblock, Adblock Plus, and Ghostery, but when you search for something like "flowers" in the Google Search, there's text based ads that display at the very top. Pretty sure Adblock isn't recognizing them as ads because they're not using Flash.
I ended up clicking on one of these ad links when I was switching windows, and it lead me to a fake website.. Same thing happened again while looking for a program plugin. *This*, is clearly why nobody wants to have anything to do with ads anymore. They can't be trusted because there's no way of managing the unsafe ones, and they're honestly just a flat out nuisance. I realize they bring in revenue for popular sites like UA-cam, but no offense, that's tough shit for them because of that problem..
With that being said, anyone know of a plugin that can disable the text ads that show up in Google Search?
Preach it. I help anyone who I know in real life who is less informed with technology. I've installed many adblock apps to save people from extra frustration and stress which is really unhealthy.
there is easy privacy list which disables all kind of adds, works perfect for me, just get the list from adblock, i havn't seen a single ad for a while
UBlock Origin should work.

I have the choice to not get ads from the safety of my PC. I am taking it. I still get them on the websites I also visit on my phone, though.
If I DO care enough, though, I will enable ads back on on selected websites. I also have a Chrome extension that only permits ads when I'm watching UA-cam channels I'm subscribed to.

CarbonPhantom The network airing the commercial is the bastard not the cable company in that scenario. ABC,NBC etc all make fat stacks off of each subscriber of cable,dish etc and still airs commercials. Blame them
I always have ad blocker and a vpn turned on
COOLGUY48 because you suck
Extravagant Baboon sounds like a personal problem

I do not mind sponsor announcements, especially when the transition is so smooth
The end segue to the sponsor was pure gold compared to some of the newer ones.
Adblock is here too stay. Admins have gotten greedy and gone overboard, now they pay the price. I'm looking at you, Google.
They'll still get money by the amount of products they have.
i clicked on this video, and now theres an 11 symbol next to my ABP extension.
On mine there are 76

Note that adblockers don’t stop revenue, they just prevent lazy or malicious ads from leaking onto your screen. If you truely want to help people then help them by making them have to learn to work harder for that ad revenue.
As a UA-cam Red user, it is frustrating when channels have in video ads and/or release videos latter on UA-cam so they can have "early" releases on other payed platforms. I understand that it is the UA-cam channel's right to do this but it feel like I am paying for content twice.
Jenna Cook I have used UA-cam Red for several months and never get interrupted with ads before or during videos. I know standard UA-cam does that.
I would suggest making sure your signed in across all your Google accounts (Your user account from the upper right top corner tab),

This is, to this day, linus' most smooth segway ever
1:15 Seeing Newgrounds in this video brought back so many childhood memories 😊
UA-cam is fine for a single content creator but if you expand like Linus did you'll run into problems and have to find alternatives to pay your staff.
***** mostly pay an editor but not a small staff like Linus has.
I have never used any form of Adblock until the last week. One mega-popup too many and forced clicks to read eighteen pages of information that could have been delivered in a single paragraph, one too many video ads that kept popping directly into the middle of what I was reading, forcing me to scroll up and down...._enough is enough_, I am not interested in that crap!
I'm not talking about the ads that might appear along the side, or on top, so long as they don't keep visually intruding absolutely everywhere I need to look. It made my blood boil and I _put up with it for years_. I had malware issues a couple of times (thankfully, I'm well protected). There are a couple of places I'm willing to pay a little bit to never see their ads, but these places had better darned sure be special ones.
Point blank: If you design your ads on your site to be intrusive and rude in an all-out money-grab fest, well, either people will stop coming, or they will employ adblock. I never minded so much the ads at the bottom of youtube videos (can just shut them) or other non-invasive options that still basically were decent-minded. I've only had adblock for a short while and am now learning what sites I am willing to whitelist.
actually people paid for their internet so actually it IS up to the consumer to decide what manner the content will be paid, if at all
Btw, question if anyone else knows:
Do the content creators of UA-cam get money for displaying their ads, clicks, or both?
GGamer720 Displaying. When you monetize, Google looks at view count of a monetized video.
EatenSniperGuy Mm, ok, thank you.
GGamer720 EatenSniperGuy is actually incorrect. Its a confusing model
Skippable ads and Banner ads, you get paid a small amount if it is clicked (dont be a troll and click the ads because you like the youtuber, google tracks that and can penalize them)
Alternatively Skippable Ads and Banner ads, you get paid a small amount for every 1,000 someone sees them, but don't click them (Also known as CPM)
However if you view 30 seconds or more of a skippable ad, you get paid a small about.
Unskippable ads are paid per play, which is why it is more lucrative, however they tend to make people click away from the video.
If you have anyone questions let me know.
GGamer720 They get some money for displaying, longer the ad is displayed, more money they get meaning that if you skip after 5 seconds, they get only a portion of the money, that's why there are unskipable ads. They also get more if you click.
I've had Ad Block Plus for a long time now... even donated 5 dollars. I don't mind the ads being IN the video. But I hate pop ups and ads that are longer than the damn videos I am trying to watch. XD
Is adblock free? Do you choose to pay or not?
It's FREE!
Ethan8or Indeed it is free.
Mr Random Entertainment Just go to wwwdotadblockplusdotorg and download it!
Thank you! Downloaded it and indeed it is pretty great!
I having alot of pop up's on my table so your saying ad blocked really works 💯% on Point
"its not my responsibility to pay their salaries is it? thats their bosses! complain to HIM that they dont get paid enough, not me"
-GradeAUnderA
I make an effort to not buy something I see in an online ad.
Im the exact same unless its something ive already heard of and im like "oh yeah i needed to look into that"
I use adblocks in most sites, but like in the sites that Ilike/YT videos of my fav youtubers!
I would hear you Linus, if ads that waste my time or pop up ads werent so common
I loved that transition to the sponsor. If i had a work i would get whatever shit you were selling even if i didn't needed it
Hmm .. How did I start using adblock ... Once, I was on the net. No problems. Ads everywhere. I didnt care. Then. My friend used my pc for like 5 mins and he was so annoyed by the fact that I dont have adblock so he installed it. The End. From that point on. Im too lazy to turn it off. How sad ....
*the answer is build them into the clip...but that means no "targeting" ahead of time.* & they love to pretend the targeting works. _JC
I have an adblocker active by default, but deactivate it on certain pages. UA-cam for example uses ads that are pretty tame, so I'm perfectly fine with it. Some pages however use ads that open pop-ups when you first click somewhere or play an obnoxious audio clip that is hidden somewhere on the page so you can't close it easily. There are ads that have a fake X in the corner, so when you try to close them you are instead opening a pop-up. I typically add exceptions for sites that ask me to do so; some by actually refusing to work otherwise (and then I may choose to reenable it again if they are obnoxious so I never have to deal with that site again), some by actually asking for it in the content (e.g. UA-cam where I had originally not even realised that the blocker was doing anything).
So yeah, detecting adblockers and putting a note somewhere noticeable that they should please be turned off for sake of ad revenue is a pretty good way to get me to do just that. After all, those who actually nicely ask you to do that typically also don't use the really annoying stuff.
So, is adblock a piracy?
I use an Adblock called Stands fair adblocker. It allows you to whitelist specific sites for ads like youtube and gives you stats like load time saved and ads blocked. Pretty nice and easy way to block annoying ads but still support creators you like.
Allowing ads does not support creators. It only supports the ad marketeers. If you want to support a creator, do it directly. Not via the ad revenue scam that leeches off of content and actively pushes for flaccid mediocrity.
It blocks ads
done.
Luke V screw the 6:07 video. Linus could do it in 3 seconds!
I'd have preferred if he gave more info. I use adblock but turn it off when I watch subd content on principle. If someone earned my sub they deserve my advertising revenue. He could of told us whether or not skip ad gives content creators revenue or if that is just as bad for them.
I feel, maybe unfairly, that a large group of people that block ads are of a younger generation. When you live at home, and mom and dad pay the bills, and for your food, ads are more annoying because you just want to watch the content. Content creators and adults realize that bills have to be paid, and as much as we are passionate about what we do, creating content for totally free at the cost of me losing sleep or personal time to do other thing (chores, go on a day trip, etc.) isnt worth it without being compensated. Point is....a 30 second ad is WAY better than paying for UA-cam.
That awkward moment when you're using AdBlock right now...
Pandonaut Productions 90% of internet users use adblock
I know
I will say one thing: If you have a child that is not well versed in the internet, use an ad block. My younger brother has downloaded malware from sketchy ads.
I was looking through the comments, and what shady fucking websites are you people going on that you're getting viruses from ads. Lol.
PORN!!
I've never gotten viruses from porn websites lol
+ThePancakeWorld I've gotten adware installing into my computer automatically just from viewing blog websites.
+ThePancakeWorld The sites themselfes don't know what type of ads are shown to the user, since they are subscribing to an ad network. This lack of control has led to several large trusted sites, such as Forbes have been displaying malware ads. Google "forbes malware ads" for example.
+ThePancakeWorld trust me that's how u get malware from ads
I was totally getting sick of this adds and now i am a happy man. when we are happy then we live longer Bravo.
I hate all ads. I would rather pay for content.
Iow, UA-cam red
I use adblock if someone took it too far in advising
I got an ad on this video when I clicked in this, Nice one.
Lol, still gunna use adblock. I pay a monthly fee for my internet, I don't need it cluttered with ads. But on a serious note. I actually wouldn't mind youtube ads, if they were reasonable, like maybe 1 or 2 ads per page, but if my ad blocker can be trusted, each youtube page I go to has anywhere from 30-150 ads on it. Yeah no thanks.
I have saved 184 hours with my adblocker. It's so amazing to not have my video interrupted every minute about some stupid product I am never going to care about. Honestly the main reason I use youtube is because unlike tv or anything else that I could watch videos on I can just have an adblocker running to not have to see the ads. When I go and watch youtube on my tv the advertisements are even more annoying. I have no excuse for using an adblocker other than I just don't care.
UA-cam should work with the creators of adblock to allow us to unblock certain channel videos. Since everyvideo now has a non-channel related link thats quite hard to do but if they implemented maybe a feature that indetifyed the channel with longer codes and the vides with just video #n maybe we could unblock certain content creators that we would like to support. I usually turn of adblock for channels that I like to support like this one and some other gamibng/techrelated channels but sometimes I forget it or I am to lazy to turn it off and knowing that I might forget it and get the "problems" decribed in the video.
NvMme Don't certain adblockers have exceptions? So you can allow your favourite channels?
Right now AdBlock+ forces content creators to pay them a large chunk of money (Google pays millions) to unblock their ads.
NvMme you can do that. I'm on waterfox (64-bit firefox), and i use a script (youtube white list channels in adblock plus) via greasemonkey, which lets me pull links of the channel i wish to whitelist. Add that to your filter list in your adblock, and there you go, all videos in your channel of choice is whitelisted. Only have to do it once per channel. Not sure what browser you're using, but something similar definitely exists.
Jeroen Bollen So Fucking What? They're not forcing anyone to do shit. If they pay because they desperately want to fling their turds (a.k.a. ads) in our faces that's their problem.
BurninAss Because it's an immoral business practice on adblock's behalf. They literally make their money by bullying companies into paying them so their ads aren't blocked.
I use You Tube Red and I'm happy about it. Support creators (even after the adpocalypses ), support the platform and no ads. The only adblocker I use is privacy badger.
