Still don't feel guilty for using an ad blocker
usually if a website tries to force me to turn it off i just leave the site
@@qpol i can get around it on most websites by blocking the ad block element. its hilarious.
just right click, go down to, inspect (Q), and right click on the highlighted html code and delete node. if you mess up just refresh the page.
sometimes they block scrolling which makes it harder. very few websites disable right click.
Honestly using an ad blocker in this day and age is pretty much a requirement. Even big websites can bring viruses with ads.
I 100% agree
Yes
if ads weren't as invasive and/or annoying i'm sure people would have no issue with keeping ads enabled
True!
or dangerous
they were never evil, ads are evil
Never have I ever bought anything because of an ad. And the day adblockers no longer work, I will probably use the internet a lot less. BTW, for android users, there are a lot of third party browsers with extensions for blocking ads and tracking, and I hope more people would use them. Ads and data harvesting are a scourge.
If you root your phone, you can even block ads in all apps
Interesting, thanks for sharing!
You’ve definitely bought things because of ads subconsciously. But I agree, as I have also never purchased some thing through an ad, but I am aware that advertisements shape my consciousness.
yeah I use revanced
There are many more reasons for us to use an adblocker that are not just blocking ads. As the Joker would say, "It's not about money. It's about sending a message". Some people like me were introduced to the web (and the internet) at a time when companies, corporations and politicians were not on it. And let's just say that some of us are not exactly happy with what they are doing with the web and the internet. I'm obviously talking about big corpos like Google, constantly enforcing their "vision" of the web and the internet and proposing things such as the "web integrity API" which should not even exist in the first place. By blocking ads you are blocking one of their main sources of income. Less money = less power, which ultimately leads to them losing their grip on the internet. So, to answer your question of "did this video change your mind?", the answer is obviously not. Because the web is almost unusable without an ad-blocker, and because I don't want to give my two cents to those big corporations that are essentially ruining the web and the internet.
I was a non-ad-block user for most of my life, but in the past 3-4 years ads have gotten REALLY bad, annoying and intrusive, so I started using adblockers and never looked back.
I find adds are often invasive enough to make me stop using a site, completely unrelated to my life, unpleasantly distracting, or often all 3. So I adblock.
Fair! Thanks for sharing
You are such an underated CZcamsr fr
Facts
Really appreciate that!
How i see the situation is, that the online advertisers are the core reason why adblockers exist.
What I mean is that they went way too trigger happy with their "power" and started to just spam people with endless waves of pop-ups and outright scams.
Resulting that most mid to late 90's websites were more taxing to ran than the og Chrysis.
Then there was and still is the fact that the online advertising is apparently ran with some non patched Windows XP RTM machines.
At least that it feels like when looking at how often these advertisers get hacked and become a attack vector to spread viruses and other malware to your machines.
So yeah I'm not turning off my adblocker thanks.
Also i didn't even talk about the sorry state that CZcams is with their own advertisements.
I mean if i fill out one of those Mr. Beast survey ads and lose all my money? Can I then go and collect not only my scammed money but also that 1 000€ to 10 000€ that the ad promised to me from Google?
Well if they want me to disable my adblocker, then they can also stand behind the ads they approve on their platform. 🙄
The day youtube forces me to watch ads, will be the day i get off of CZcams and move to Rumble. Ad revenue doesn't necessarily go to a creator anymore since they enabled ads on all videos, not that I was ever looking to make money off of CZcams, but Google decided to make money off my content anyway.
I'm not here for the fame and money, and Google also censors the channels I watch and generally makes it hard for creators and viewers anyway. I'm currently in the process of simply moving my videos. Enough is enough.
Fair enough!
Personally i made a adblocker for myself what it does is that it automatically clicks ads and silent opening them so they disappear it also hides them like normally🎉
Great video as always! This was one of my favorites. The editing throughout the video was good, and amazing storytelling as always!
Thanks a bunch dude!
Bro i need you for a school interview please
Whatcha need?
@@benfarryt yo thanks for replying i will send u an email cuz youtube delets all my replyies
ad blockers are great.
ads are intrusive and 100% of the time adverse something i dont want or cant afford.
i buy what I want not what some flashy picture with sparkles told me to buy.
Thanks for sharing! I also prefer support brands I really enjoy over following ads, although I always wonder how influenced I actually am by them
Why are the views so low when it is a well-made video.
Appreciate that!
A simple browser plugin that lets you pay 1-20 cents to read an article or watch a video would give them just as much if not more money per view and you have no ads. Why isn't this a thing? Instead, you have to pay like 100 dollars a year for one paper. It makes no sense. I'd be fine with paying 5 cents to read an article, not going to pay 100 dollars a yaer
Agreed, and I’m not a fan of reading just one anyways, so it really starts to add up
Great video Ben!!
Thanks Emily!!
On my computer i have adblock disabled for 2 sites, because they don't throw ads in your face. 1 ad that can be hidden and thats it. Everywhere else is littered with ads. CZcams, Bulbapedia, Fandom... sites like those are the reason I block ads at all. If you want me to turn my adblocker off, don't hurt my experience for doing so.
True! Thanks for sharing
Came here to watch the video and tell you that the youtube algorithm had this on my front page
Woooo
holy crap this only has a couple hundred views? extremely underrated!
Thank you!
yo how does this only have 97likes? it should have more
I use a ad blocker because many ads are repetitive, annoying, innapropriate, or just scams/viruses
i love your videos great editing
2:17 french ad
I mean he lives in Canada... so naturally there is french stuff
@@FinnishTomato ik i live there too
great vid!
Thanks a bunch!
@@benfarryt AYO I GOT ANSWERED?!?
This is unpopular, but the way I see it is if you never saw that revenue in the first place then it was never lost. Also I do not need ads of the annoying text to speech bot flashing images of a crap product that does not interest me at all. I buy what I hear about from other people, I avoid many things that are directly advertised to me.
Agreed, that’s a very good point. No point in chasing revenue that’s probably not going to last anyways
It always the EU that save the day from this sh!tty companies
actually my mom set me the adblocker on youtube and doesnt worked for me honestly my mom's adblocker worked.
Nice vid
Awesome
AWESOME
Mor ppl need to see ur stuff

Awsome
