    You can skip or avoid ads on YouTube, so meh. What really grinds my gears though, is the stupid, fucking algorhythm, which routinely offers me videos I just recently watched, vids in languages that I can’t speak, “current” affairs stories that are years old, and channels/vids that I have specifically blocked. I curse YouTube daily, but will bless anyone who has a viable alternative…

      Adblocks allow you to not have to skip the ads physically, the algorithm is something else though. Now it starting to push right wing propaganda if your not logged in, and recently they said they are allowing even more now

      You could put the subtitles for videos in languages you don’t speak. What was much more annoying to me was the automatic audio translation (it’s still available, but it seems YouTube doesn’t select it automatically when you watch a video in another language).
