Conservative: I don’t like “X”, so I’m not going to do “X”.

Liberal: I don’t like “X”, so I demand that nobody does “X”.

If you had half a brain you would be running add blockers that block all youtube adds and generate 0 revenue for them or if you had a full brain you would be running a pihole in addition as your dns server and all your devices would not show adds.

I just skip over any posts that are youtube video based. I’m a reader, not much of a listener.

If it looks to be an interesting topic, I bing the title for a readable breakdown of the story.

Can you post one or more examples of the types of posts you're referring to?

It would be helpful for us to understand exactly what you're posting about.

Are you a Democrat governor? You sure sound like a tyrant. Reminds me of when our three year old kids thought they suddenly rippled the roost.

How to stop children from whining

I don't like youtube either. 95% of my online video viewing is at BitChute these days. Sometimes, if the FR thread topic is interesting, I'll click on a YouTube origin thread, and read the comments. If they, or the original poster makes the effort to post a decent summary of the video contents to make it seem worthwhile, I'll click on the link and watch the video, or at least enough to see if it is worth my time.

They let you skip the in-line ads after five seconds if it is a monetized video, and my Java blocker suppresses any popup-ads, and I ignore any static ads off to the side.

And on the bright side, as YouTube censors more and more of their useful political content, there are fewer and fewer reasons for FReepers to link them in the first place. With any luck, all conservative and libertarian videos will be found at BitChute, eliminating the need for FReepers to send people to the enemy.

Why not call for the end of links to NYT, WaPo, CNN, MSNBC and all the rest of the enemedia articles too, if you are worried that they might make money off of your click?

You’re missing out on a lot of great videos. Trump being Trump and Biden being a putz for example.

Sorry to be the one to break this important update to your channel but the world does not in fact revolve around you personally.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled browser script blocking and ad blocking search.
