Do people really pay for this?
Yes. I’m lazy and watch a lot of YouTube. I cannot deal with ads.
That said, I have prime video through Amazon prime and it asks for, like, $4 per month to skip ads. I stopped watching prime video because of this.
i just use ublock origin for youtube ads, they havnt done anything to stop the adblockers yet.
I don’t watch in browser mostly. Else I would do this too.
And they wonder why torrents just won't go away...
IPTV too.
