Reply to comment by PhoenixGold_ in Why can’t I choose better resolution? The video is 4K in YouTube by ArtLover357

No thanks, never. It’s always been a free service and I am not about to pay for it now. Youtube is a shit platform. I had to install a browser extension just to be able to watch age restricted videos even though I’m way over the age of 18. And that’s because EU made it so YouTube had to require either your ID or your credit card info to verify your age, none of which Google has any business seeing. So fuck YouTube and fuck EU too. Never paying a cent to watch YouTube. Adblock is free.

You realize ads are the reason it's a free service right?

I didn’t mind the original little banner ads at the bottom of the video. They were not intrusive and were never a problem. The video ads are what I have a problem with. I’ve used adblocker from the day I installed Chrome.

What a shit attitude, ads are a fair trade off for a great service if you dont wanna pay. Made me cringe HARD reading this

They do not deserve my money for reasons I described in my initial comment. I will always use adblock everywhere that I and nothing is gonna change my view. I can’t stand ads, and if I can avoid them for free, well you bet I’ll do just that.
