Pretty much the subject line. uBO has successfully blocked the nag screen enough times that I can’t play anything at this point. No preview loads, and the play button serves no function. I’d really prefer not to have to find content on YT, copy the URL and use Piped/Invidious, but this ongoing escalation is steeling my resolve to screw Google.
That’s what I do. Works great. Or don’t pay and don’t use it. Crazy talk, I know!
Congratulations on doing your part in helping a filthy spyware company ruin the web for everyone with their corruption of browsers and the web standards.
I never use Chrome or anything Chromium based. You sound like you use Brave.
But if someone offers me an entertainment service at a price, I pay, or don’t use it. You’re not some noble pirate, you’re just a cheap ass who wants to consume other people’s hard work for free.
You assumed wrong.
Oh boy! Another one with the comprehension skills of a mole rat! Where did I say don’t pay the artist? What I don’t like is the pimp middleman in between.
Says the shill who parrots the words of an abusive and corrupt corporation. Go look at the mirror and call them cheap ass. You are just a self-righteous idiot who helps monopolies gain control over ordinary people, including the artists you supposedly support.
If you don’t like “the pimp middleman in between”, I can only assume you exclusively consume your entertainment on subway platforms and pay with dollar bills, which is great, and good for you, but I like to support creators and live a comfortable life. Some of my money goes to Bandcamp, Patreon and Google. You do you.
“Mole rat”. haha, cute. I’m not worth your top-shelf stuff, trust me. Save it for your English teacher.
After Google killed all the competition with ad-free unpaid service for so long. Market manipulation with bait and switch.
Like I said - you’re self righteous. You have no clue how much the creators and web as a whole lost due to the greed and treachery of this horrible company.
You are not worth anything. So keep patting yourself on the back.
Gotcha. Not gonna keep chasing your goalposts, so have a good one!

Please check again who started it. This is TERRIBLE moderation. I’m out.
